Merezhevy media player WD TV Live. Testing the WD TV Live HD Media Player wd tv live media player

Antipyretic remedies for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are situations of indispensable help for fevers, if the child needs to give faces negligently. Then the fathers take on themselves the resuscitation and stop the antipyretic preparations. What can be given to infants? How can you lower the temperature in older children? What are the most safe faces?

In nature, there is little addition to the TV, the buildings make life easier for the Koristuvachevs. Five years ago, there was no such difference, as if at once - either standard DVD and Blu-Ray programmers were victorious, or chosen by HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) smarts. Let's go to the market viishla Apple With their own Apple TV, Chinese retailers have stepped up - and maybe, maybe - a bunch of set-top boxes with multimedia functions. I especially have an Apple TV of a different generation at home, this device fits organically into my ecosystem, it costs reasonable pennies (about 100 dollars), but the filling is even weaker: the maximum allowed 720p, which is supported, and the number of flash drives is not the same awakened memory. Shorter seeming, rich in my own words - and about the dosvіd robots with Apple TV and alternative firmware to it, I sing-song to you as if I were telling you.

And today we’ll talk about the variety of Western Digital companies under the name TV Live Hub. These outbuildings, which communicate with TV sets and other equipment, trotted me for more than two years - but only protested only this device and only at the same time.

Cost of analysis unit 7 thousand rubles, used hard drive for 1 terabyte. With a price for a single disc of such an obsyagu (3-4 thousand rubles), it’s possible, so it’s better to decide how much you need to pay - that’s 3-4 thousand rubles. Let's look at what's in the kit, what's in the Live Hub (I call it a player) - and try to find out who needs such a speech.

Packing and equipment

A quarter of a cardboard box is rather big, and it seems that there are a lot of different speeches in the middle. But, here half of the volume is occupied by a box with a player, a cream, in a box there is a remote control and a life adapter, that and a couple of booklets. Cables are not included in the kit, so you can explain, but it’s more common and less busy.




Zovnіshnіy vglyad that zruchnіst ekspluatatsії

The material of the player is plastic, dull-short to the top and bottom, glossy on the edge. On the front there is a button to turn on / off and a port for connecting USB devices, also on the front panel there is a WD logo, it will light up for an hour of work and I will add it.

From the sides, nothing, from the back - all the roses for switching: live, optical output, HDMI output, other USB port(also for connecting USB devices), composite and component outputs.





Now about the diva. Divina persha: the kit does not have a single cable - to connect the widest HDMI cable at the moment. Wonderful friend: you can’t connect an Ethernet cable - it doesn’t seem to be about a Wi-Fi adapter (let it go and you can plug it into a USB port). Come on, don't be a surprise to you - you happen to buy everything at once, without saving for later. Moreover, when I went to the Internet, I felt greed, about it a little less. You can know the list of attachments, summaries of the programmers.



Everything is turned on, the player starts, it signals about the presence of a new firmware, it is upgraded, I will be informed about a new firmware (well, it’s not going to be), after 10 everything is ready, you can koristuvatisya.

On the screen, there is a barvist menu, you can move to the left and right by pressing the “down” button on the remote control, go to the “Select” menu, what to configure, you can look at new files added and so on.





Are the files being taken? W outbuildings(the player copies data from a flash drive or a hard disk to your own account, you can just look at the content) or as you go - you can upload files to the player, so you can open the file folder to the player. Therefore, WD Live Hub is designed and can be a part of your multimedia ecosystem, or it can aggregate all data. In principle, a terabyte is a good use of data, you can use it as a hard drive for a torrent client. It would be better for mothers to connect the player to the computer without intermediary - but, unfortunately, it's impossible.

Like the main menu, it's borderline simple to sprinyattya.

Nalashtuvannya- here, perhaps, the greatest possibilities. Adjustment of output, menu type, video, sound, photo, media, navigation of the remote control. I don’t worry about looking at everything - so, otherwise, you don’t take away your freedom again. From the beginning - the possibility of connecting Apple technology for remote viewing by the player and capturing (reviewing) photos.




Photos- Reviewing the photo, the implementation of the middle - the player of the picture is strained, the glottis takes a couple of seconds (plus, it is clear that they are small, but they are no good). You can start the slide show. Mozhlivy revisit jpegs, GIF, TIF/TIFF, BMP, PNG.




music- Sorting by tags, supported by MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, FLAC, OGG.




Video- I will add the main functionality, in my mind. I will indicate the formats that are supported: AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/ TP /M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9, FLV (h.264) , up to 1080p. Rewind є, until the new requirement is attached, subtitles are supported.



Services– 22 mini-addendums for work with content. All photographs - Flickr, Picasa, and videos - the same YouTube and Vimeo, and the ability to request a video. Є facebook support and navigate to Yota Music (required login and password, so you can not listen without a fee).





Games- Dobіrka unpretentious іgor, here navіt nіchogo rozpovidat.




RSS- Reading lines, adding new ones is possible, for which the on-screen keyboard is written.



Filey- Pereglyad file system outbuildings.


Visnovok

The player WD TV Live Hub cost, as I wrote on the cob looking around, 7 thousand carbs. Pіdbivaєmo pіdbags.

Plusy:

  • Small and quiet annex
  • omnipresence
  • Shvidka of the robot (I'll look at the photos for a moment), a hard disk
  • Ability to connect external USB devices
  • Good functionality (additions, games, RSS)
  • intuitive intelligent interface
  • Presentation file manager
  • Access by measure, connection of Apple technology for robots with a player

Minusi:

  • Width of cables in the kit
  • Hi WiFi adapter(alternatively, you can connect to a USB port)
  • Not the most convenient rewinding of files
  • Great and not very handy remote control
  • Not able to connect the player to the computer like a dream hard drive

For me, the WD TV Live Hub turned out to be an add-on, which, having dealt with not the best damage to the back, but as a result became positive. I can’t say that everything is perfect in the new, but it’s good to be a device. For pennies, scho zapituyutsya - not bad.

Illya Tarakaniv ()

The appearance of a compact and inexpensive player WD TV (Western Digital TV) was greeted by short-haired people with enviable enthusiasm. More pack, even at that time tse buv, perhaps, the most affordable device for the price of such an eminent virobnik, building HD-video files. But the euphoria of the most reputed enthusiasts faded away quickly: too much shortcoming is a small novelty. Before the list of claims, I took the time before the HDMI interface old version, which does not allow HD-sound streams to be transmitted to the AV receiver "near the digital"; the presence of the DTS decoder analog outputs). They were also embarrassed to dosit modestly functionality, In addition, there is a daily exit in the merezh. About everything. Who checks on us in the model of the offensive generation, who took away the name WD TV Live?

Views of WD TV Live from the first generation of WD TV

Irrespective of those who are called aparati, they practically do not differ (the color is not in the rahunok), they are in the middle of the stink of principle difference. WD TV Live is based on the advanced Sigma Designs SMP8655 (500 MHz) processor, and the front is Sigma Designs SMP8635 (300 MHz). The 10/100 Mbps LAN wired network controller appeared, the HDMI interface "grew" to version 1.3, ensuring the possibility of transferring all audio streams to the AV receiver. Zreshtoyu, let the DTS decoder through. This means that now the player can be connected directly to the TV for analogue, without being afraid to get lost in silence on films with a DTS track.

Packing and delivery kit

The device is delivered in a barvy cardboard box of corporate design, in the middle of which there is a wine itself, a remote control from two AAA batteries, an insignificant amount of paper waste paper ( new version instructions to be placed on a CD, which is added), lace adapter with nozzles for the so-called European and English sockets, as well as two non-standard cables for outputting analog composite, component signals and stereo sound. From one side, the stench may be called RCA (“tulips”), and from the other side - 4-pin “mini-jacks”. The HDMI-HDMI cable is not included in the delivery kit, it may happen to be cool. The same costs and a patch cord for connection to local lines. For an inexpensive add-on, a similar economy of the harvester is acceptable.

Starry look

Black gloss, like a vanishing WD TV of the first generation, buv garni, ale superficially impractical (especially as you can guess the “n_yaku” stability of cover before the appearance of underwear). Chi tse setting, chi bajannya hoch trohi change the design of the novelty for the sake of visual differentiation from the model of the past generation was the reason, but the case of WD TV Live is now matte, and its color is dark gray. The DTS icon appears on the top panel. There are no other changes from the “forgive” WD TV. Perhaps, it would be possible to look at the structure so that the player could stand vertically. With the lowest option, the work is not recommended; Vtim, the player is small, so it’s unlikely that anyone would think to save 5-6 cm of space in the bedside table with such a rank. And the axis of the legs would definitely not hurt.

Switching

Like a bachimo, I'll build a maly case, to that roses on the back panel are grouped borderline heap. Now zrozumіlo, now the designers were wiser with non-standard cables-adapters: all RCA outputs are simply a lot of decommissioning. It is hardly possible to make such a decision unhandled, the shards of WD TV Live buyers are less than one to connect the player for an analogue - otherwise they will speed up HDMI-switching, and will be a whole lot of rights. The photo does not take comments, please turn it over to the right: socket for the life adapter, USB 2.0 port (the other one is on the left side, so you can look at the device from the front), HDMI v1.3, optical digital audio output SPDIF TosLink, RJ45 port for connection to the local border and two "miniatures" - for viewing analog signals sound and image for the help of complete cables-adapters.

hard drive

Like in the first WD TV, WD TV Live, the installation inside the hard disk case is not extended - for the new one it is not possible free space. Like dzherelo danikh proponuetsya vykoristovuvaty be-yakі accumulated with a USB-interface or merezhev resources, including home computers, local hard disks of which you can place cross-country films and music at any time. Nutrition only in that - chi to stitch I will pass the building tethered player controller for displaying high-rate recordings? Tse mi z'yasuєmo trochs a year.

Construction and cooling

Click on the picture for more information

The design of WD TV Live predicts cibulin: a lot of balls. Having taken on the upper plastic "suit", a metal box, which is screened, with perforation. І less than the middle of the new є single electronic board. The block of life at the device, guessing, is old, but the space for the HDD is not transferred. The main processor is attached with an aluminum radiator, which is attached to a spring pressure and hot-melt adhesive. To dismantle the radiator, it’s good to bring it on with a hair dryer, and then, having drunk and praying, carefully, ale z zusilly, take it out - smut, so that a fragment of the crystal of the processor is left on the radiator, otherwise the player will turn into a bunch of dirty metal. Everything went wrong, but the bent ribs in the photo - our hands on the right, we commemorated only sweat and immediately corrected them. The heart of the player is the current Sigma Designs SMP8655 media processor (frequency 500 MHz).

On the view of the SMP8652 and the "blu-ray" SMP8642, it has no support for Macrovision and other protections, to which the connection is connected optical drive WD TV Live cannot be converted to a licensed Blu-ray/DVD-Video player. In addition, we have great doubts about the efficiency of the cooling of the processor: the radiator is great, but the air circulation in the middle of the two-ball case with small openings is weak, and it also goes through the natural path. It's not surprising that the player wrote after two years of work - like a crack, it's true, it didn't freeze once. Ale, it’s winter at the same time, the people who have received it are comfortable +23 degrees Celsius. Cicavo, why will there be a smoky summer, if there is no air conditioner in the house? Chi will not overheat? We can’t say enough on the power supply, we are left to rely on the competence of Western Digital designers ...

Remote control

Click on the picture for more information

Giving great respect to the WD TV Live employees, its creators bypassed the remote control. So, such a letter is the same for the first WD TV, but it does not mean anything. The remote control is far from being the best for a human hand (especially the status of the “down” and “stop” buttons is important). The wine itself is small, and the buttons are close by. Dobre want a tovstenky body, and it’s not good to lie at the hands of the ruts. Functionality is less than basic. A lot of additional functions are clicked on Option, after which the required position is selected on the merging screen menu with the cursor keys.

testuvannya

The interface of the koristuvach did not recognize the change: the same one-line network structure was also found in the first WD TV. Uphill-down - choose the category, and go down at the functional of the category - right-handed. From one side, such a menu is borderline understandable for mastering, you won’t get lost in a new one, prote, on the vіdmіnu vіd zvukny, if Start page with pictograms, how to lead different nooks, here it’s too much to push the buttons. For example, to launch a video from a connected USB hard the disk needs 5-7 "ticks", and when working with a remote storage device - a lot more. Prote the launch of selected files will be superbly fast, in a few seconds. You can evaluate the quality of the swedishness, as well as the design of the menu on the video below. Prohannya does not call for yakіst, shards of zyomka were conducted from the TB screen.

For those who didn't manage to read the names of the test videos, let's say that the player successfully ran into high-rates, one of the tricks from Bondiani "Casino Royale" in May in the average of 50-60 Mbps, and the download volume goes off scale and zvsim for 110 Mbps. Usі їх pієr vіdbraziv smoothly, without hitches. Vzagali, schodo "omnipresence" WD TV Live on the top of the front. Zvichayno, up to the standard in this plan, the little ones in WD do not fit, but the price is good for her! And the axis of creation of BD-images is "n_yake" here. and the DVD-image player learned to display the menu only until the end of 2010.

Menu nalashtuvan proponuє to finish the great assortment - sob koristuvach not vіdchuvav himself skrivgenim. It is important to note two points: for HDMI video - frequency auto-selection, and the display of positions (files) can be changed either by looking at the list, or by looking at the pictograms of the overlays, as it is necessary to prepare them in advance.

The re-verification of the work in the measure was carried out according to the zvuchny method: the same number of numbers and folding manipulations. We robimo so, as if the greater number of coristuvachs would be more important. And for yourself - “shared” the folder on a Windows computer (SMB protocol) and went to it from the player. The whole system is connected through a 100-megabit Asus brand router. After the completion, we try to create a copy of the files with a different bitrate. Of greatest interest is the well-known trick from the intro of the Bond film, in which the bitrate is in the range of 50 to 60 Mbps. On the protested earlier Dune HD Base 3.0 (for the same technique, on the very same one), this video clip played without problems. WD TV has already pleased the back of the head, but in just a few seconds, “galma” began to appear:

It's a pity, but for the creation of a large number of high-rate files, this device is not enough to go. It is possible, as a matter of fact, to be wiser with alternative firmware and upgrades; if you win a gigabit switch, and not a 100-megabit router, then the situation would change, but don’t forget that Dune’s fortune-telling player ran right through the set tasks without doping, and WD TV didn’t. Vtіm, let's not overthink it. First, about the record speed of the robot as soon as possible other models Dune and so richly said, but in a different way, WD TV Live is a lower-class player - it's intended for transversal shortlisters, and not for streaming HD-video enthusiasts.

Advantages:

  • By extension to single video files, the player may be "everyday"
  • Swedish cob of creation of any kind of media files
  • HDMI v1.3
  • DTS sound decoding (in stereo mode)
  • Access to YouTube and internet radio
  • Private price

Noodles:

  • Potentially inefficient CPU cooling
  • Cross stitch work through the mesh
  • Overworldly compact and low-functional remote control
  • "Dovga" menu structure facilitates access to content

Visnovok

In the new WD TV Live, a lot of critical shortcomings of the WD TV of the first generation were fixed, and the summation of various media files (like the new processor) was also improved. If you look at the aparatik at the link to the price, then it’s a good product, which you can boldly recommend to ordinary coristuvachi. Enthusiasts, on the other hand, are protected from this player - at least, through the lack of support for Blu-Ray images, and also through the impossibility to install the HDD in the middle, and I can’t find a robot with a measure. Ale, we repeat, in its class of cob models, WD TV Live is unquestionably worthy of respect. First of all, if we updated the price and nuances in the article (Zokrema, added information about the support of DVD-images, which appeared), then, maybe through the river after the test, WD TV Live, as before, as one from the shortest cob players. equal.

The test was carried out in February 2010, the article was updated in September 2011

First of all, they appeared again, having won the sympathy of the majestic number of coristuvachi - just to the one who was even cheaper, and the significantly more expensive models could be greeted with the same functionality. Vtіm, the first model is small and pomіtnі nedolіki. For example, they didn’t have a decoder for DTS sound the rest of the version HDMI. However, Western Digital did not stand on the sidelines and released an upcoming version called WD TV Live, which had some shortfalls. I kept trying to test the model, but I couldn't get my hands on it. And then some of the States sent a special new state version, which is called WD TV Live Plus (practically the same WD TV Live, only with a few state-specific state-of-the-art services), for which many thanks to the online store Reader-Sony.ru and mi at the same time and marveling at what this player is. Also, the compact universal media player WD TV Live Plus.

Zovnishhnіy vglyad that management At the level of the player, the change practically did not work - the box is compact in size from a book-pocketbook.


Starry look

On the front panel there is an indicator of life and an indicator of the connection of an external accumulator. On the rear panel - inputs: live, USB, HDMI, optical, Ethernet, audio-video, component.


back part

One more USB port is on the left side. There are no control buttons on the case, as a class, the player is controlled only by a remote control panel, which here is small and primitive, so it is over.


remote control

I will add a robot In the same way as the old model, the software shell visually did not change much. The icons of the programs that are scrolled, when selected, they are the icons of the submenu.


Golovna menu

photo review You can choose by date, folders, the rest will be looked over. The list can be seen at the preview or the listing.


Image review

Under an hour to review the image, you can click on the menu, in which є close-distance, rotation, information about the file.


menu

Compositions

You can also view tracks and albums in forward view or list view mode. The player is simple, but when you create it, you will see information about the icon, album and genre.


Reopening

Merezhev services WD TV Live Plus supports a wide variety of services. The head of them is Netfix, which, unfortunately, is less practical for the States. This service allows you to easily take access to thousands of films and serials. WD TV Live Plus also supports streaming content from YouTube, Flickr, Pandora, Live365, MediaFly, including podcasts from CNN, NBC, MTV, ESPN and other content providers. The player can create media data from shared folders of local networks and UPnP media servers of local networks. Video of great permission Like before, everything is good. The player plays practically like container codecs, supports subtitles, understands DVD folders and DVDs that are packaged in ISO. Moreover, ISO-files are opened completely - from the menu too. (Me the players were trapping, like in ISO they didn’t understand the menu.) With DVD folders there is one subtlety. If you go into them by Enter, then the player simply shows the list of files, through which some journalists wrote that the player did not understand the structure of the DVD. Ale vin intellect. It's just that on the DVD folder, you don't need to press Enter, but Play - just like a great DVD. The options button for an hour to review calls up a menu, for additional help you can: scale the image, change the audio track and subtitle track, view information about the image.


Opening menu

Sooner than later, fight for 2-4-8 and 16x. It is not possible to jump to a specific Timchasov point - to the point of speech, tse summarily. One of the "strings", what works here - the stribok is 10 strands ahead or backwards when pressing the "advance split" button or "forward split" on fast rewind.


Video with original subtitles

Video It's all good. All my test codecs-containers, even up to 1080p, the player worked without any problems that galm.


High resolution roller

However, here it is not possible to jump to the given time position, otherwise the number of whips is different, which is not easy. Speedy type 2x to 16x works, but on some codec-containers (especially on "Matrokh") it is slightly crooked. A streak for 10 minutes on the keys to the transition to the forward / forward was divided for an hour of accelerated rewinding here. The key point in my testing of HD media players is that they stink like folders with Blu-ray disc structures. That's why all sorts of rips of modern players play decently, but from the Blu-ray folder - everything is richer here. The players, with the help of the mechanism of creation, are divided into three categories: 1. The player is not aware of the structure of Blu-ray, and in order to perform the necessary stream stream, it is necessary to select the appropriate file from dozens or hundreds. And the stones are more important than the majority of the players, and they can’t sort the files by rozmіrom (the only way to know the file with the movie) - to find out that it’s really a movie in this format really and don’t marvel. 2. Opening the folder Blu-ray player on its own to know the movie and start yoga. For some people, menus and dopi are not available, but you can watch a movie. Vtіm, as if in the middle of dopіv it appears to finish a long film, then the player can miss and start yoga - I'm sticking with it. You can also run the movie manually instead. 3. The player implements the structure of Blu-ray like a great Blu-ray disc - with menus, add-ons and so on. Tse, understood, best. But for all my practice, in a similar rank, Blu-ray structures have been created with no more than Dune players. The active journalists explain the problems with the creation of similar folders of the turbot of the retailers about copyright - they say, the folders are expanding the pirate copies of BR-discs, so they don’t stink, so as not to be welded with the right-holders. Explanation, like on me, like at least wondrous. Because the same "Matroshka", in which BR-film reps are expanding, all these players play without everyday problems. And the folders should be shaken. Before speech, in my folders I save copies of normal licensed BR-discs, like I'm cupping with my hands. It's just that I'm an order of magnitude more efficient at making them out of a hard drive.


High resolution video in MKV with subtitles

So how do we manage WD TV Live Plus with similar folders? It's bad to behave. Well, to be able to rob you of looking, that you understand the folders and start working like a movie, but really, you just chop the first file to the stream stream, which you have spent on the list - as a rule, the whole license is ahead of hundreds of mov. That's why there's no harm in WD TV. Just search the file from the movie and run it manually. Price In the States, the player costs close to $90 - that's two kopecks. At such a lower price, you are more tolerantly less tolerant. It is not necessary to marvel at the Blu-ray folders, but the player as a whole will be used to see more light in the creation of media content, among them there are many. Visnovki Well, the player is clearly developing - most of the problems of the WD TV model have been removed from the WD TV Live retailers. With a measure, support of the DTS decoder and other media Internet services, the player has become even more indestructible. And if you want to cheat, if you spend a penny, one of the best budget models will enter the market. Three shortcomings - the impossibility of more gnuchko to promote videos and spend on a point, that problem with Blu-ray folders. Otherwise, it's a great player, just a great one.

Vіdminniy pristry. An important point: just press the button on the remote control on the red one, it will get stuck, but it’s even more natural: it’s 8 watts (in the “on mode”) it saves 6 watts. If you want to actively heat up and continue to upgrade WiFi. Alternately, press the remote control button on the chervona and press it for 5 seconds, get stuck all over, don’t warm up and take in energy.

koristyusya over 4 rocks. During the whole hour, there were a couple of inadequate and unreasonable battles in summer spec ( mimoly viknennya, impossibility of inclusion). Internet services and connections do not corrode. Only watching movies (files up to 4GB) from three disks of 1TB (2.5", USB 2.0 and 3.0, without food), other photos from a repair, other music in MP3 on an active analog triphonic for $ 100. In general, it is ideal swiss anniversaries.

Super machine for vlasny kosht. It is good to be able to recreate the old model of plasma (like in me) on the right media center. Ideally suitable for revisiting exciting rips. Looking through the machine on plasma 40" in total rip in MKV in size 2 to 3 GB - quality is acceptable / good, more good. Size in size 4 to 6 GB 'yuthera, for a winyatko traditional darling on dark plots frame Recommended before purchase.

Perevagi: Program all video formats - rips, as I have. Batch a 2 TB hard drive. Miraculous picture. For highest quality must be connected via HDMI.

Shortcomings: 1. About 600 films from MKV without taking more than 2 films. The reason is unknown, possibly old codec. Ale tse comedny disadvantage.2. The sound of the road in the AAS will be played higher for others (skinned for 10 seconds). Well, if you don’t call, you don’t have to. 3. If a file is recorded on a hard disk connected to a media player, which vin cannot be read for other reasons, then when re-opening other files recorded on a hard disk and aka vin read earlier, the media player may not be able to read them. Rejoice at the inclusion/removal of an unreadable file.

Attached to a pair of twists, adding a 1TB disk without additional. eating. Ruthlessly installing on the new alternative firmware (b-rad) on the first day of purchase. The first thing was the presence of the goydal torrents, the firmware had rtorrent, but it didn’t get better, and an additional transmission plugin was installed. After that, the warehouse began to capture / distribute files by itself, at the same time you can play the files with the player. ALE... the game freezes... as soon as I can reach it, the firmware / plug-in spіvvіdnennja, with some hard revantage the goydalka vіdnovlyuє robot. More than 100 video files are being distributed. At the same time, we made a compromise with the annex, wanting to be weak for a full-fledged robotic worker. An additional note on 11/15/2013, the player was shown as a goydalka / torrents distributor from 02/18/2011, showing a number of films in the Crimea. Approximately 35 TB download, 2 TB download, the same day for redemption (read "to work for recognition") at the NAS link. Honor is the praise of the virobnik, the stalk of the sun. So, before the speech, the firmware is so and filled in with an alternative one, having downloaded a plugin for showing films from the old file storages, now simple serials and all sorts of different programs can be marveled without being zavantazhuyuchi, online.

Positive quality: Crazy leader at a reasonable price/value. A serious maker of electronics - WD gwenti has never been brought up once. After reading 99% of the current video files. The dimensions of the player itself and the remote control.

Nedoliki: Maybe, the presence of the quality controller, but I want to read here on the forums that the plug-in can be built in and the quality can appear.

Today before us, having spent a media player like Western Digital under the name WD TV Live. This product is an attachment for playing videos, music, and also reviewing photos from a computer, a lot of wear and to the Internet with the possibility of connecting both via Ethernet, and for the help of Wi-Fi.

There is no way to talk about the packaging of sensu, there are no shards of everyday features in it. More interest to become її vmіst.

WD TV Live comes standard with cover instruction with the connection of that adjustment of the media player (before the speech, the instruction was bluntly realized, that people, who previously got stuck with similar technology, will be relieved of hourly dullness and mental suffering in the style of “what to do with it”). Also, the media player itself, an adapter for connecting to an electrical outlet, an AV cable and a remote control are displayed at the box.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the fact that the HDMI cable is included in the kit, so if you plan to connect the media player through this interface, then pick up the HDMI cable for the connection. Price cannot be called a minus, the inclusion of such a cable in the package would have been indicated on the price, and people who can already use an HDMI cable obviously do not want to overpay for those that they have and so.

Now about the remote control remote control. With its not necessary modern look, it’s easy to lie at the hands of the wines, and the main navigation buttons and the control of the layout are thought out.

Let's move on to the main one, tobto to the very program. The body of the victors is made of matte plastic in black color. Vzagali TV Live looks strictly and technologically and miraculously fit into the interior of the HD panel.

The bottom of the player is secured with special grooves for attaching it to the wall.

There is only one USB 2.0 port on the front panel for a quick or manual connection of a hard portable drive or other storage. Other ports were hidden on the back panel. There is one more USB 2.0, HDMI, AV, an Ethernet port and an optical audio output.

And now, vlasne, about those, how to play with a media player. Our TV Live connection has connections to the TV via HDMI, and for connection to the Internet, wifi router. If there is no Wi-Fi, the obvious option is to connect via Ethernet.

Later, when the player is connected to the TV, that pressure of the life button on the remote control appears in front of us, the menu for choosing a movie. The Russian language has appeared, and it means that it is not to blame for the problems of mastering the interface. Vtіm, the very interface of vikonaniya as much as possible ozumіlo and nachno, also you can learn from it a child.

After that, the main menu of the player appears. Usі menu as much as possible zrozumіlі and unіfіkovanі for internal structure among themselves. For example, by selecting the Video section, the screen displays a list of files available for review, among others, a collection of shared folders, media servers that are located in the middle of the directory, as well as interactive services on the Internet. Similarly to the music menu, images and other files.

Distributed Services to avenge promotions 15 services, through which you can look through and listen to different content. For example, YouTube service Videos lets you know the catalog from the categories of video clips, we will break it down according to different parameters.

If you don’t want to marvel at anything, then you can turn around to game services and spend an hour for one of the hoary toys.

In the rest of the hour, it became popular to convert your mobile gadgets to the control of other outbuildings. A similar possibility is implemented here. For other reasons, you don’t want to beat the standard remote control, you can put special addendum WD TV Remote, available for iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play Store) add-ons. Programs without cost can transform your smartphone and tablet into a full-fledged control panel. The only benefit for the operation of such a remote control is to change into one local dimension.

Podbag

WD TV Live, insanely, you can know your place in any booth. Zavdyaks have the opportunity to create all popular video and audio formats, both from local sources, and from various resources and services on the Internet, and their media player is a wonderful home center of discovery. If you don’t start watching movies and videos on a computer, you can call it handy and comfortable, but with a similar media player, connected to a widescreen TV, evening movie watching will become richly received.

Support the project - share your efforts, darling!
