That's bizarre, as I use an onkyo amp and just HDMI'd it and it worked fine.QRM wrote:Just picked up the WD hub and was surprised it worked without the need for a HD or ethernet connection, managed to pick everything up wirelessly from the NAS, no problem streaming high res MKV files from study to living room.
My problem is getting the ONKYO to work, plugged WD direct to the TV sound and picture is fine, stick it via the amp can only get picture and a clicking sound, the amp keeps flashing the DTS sign in red.
My PS3 did the same thing when I tried to stream video with DTS audio to it when DTS was disabled, or vice-versa. Try toggling DTS off and on. When you torrent (sorry, stream legal videos...) , it's usually tagged in the file name if it's encoded as DTS or not due to this. If you don't have the full out 5.1+ setup, you probably don't need DTS.QRM wrote:Just picked up the WD hub and was surprised it worked without the need for a HD or ethernet connection, managed to pick everything up wirelessly from the NAS, no problem streaming high res MKV files from study to living room.

Mine are between 600mb - 1.5gb per movie depending on quality.QRM wrote:sussed it out I manually told the WDhub that my receiver can is dts, Dolby etc capable unit and now it all works, (seems like the auto select is a bit iffy) also what's great there is a new Ipad app that controls the system.
The other eye opener is the amount of space the movies takes up. have to go out and get two more 2tb HDD.
I would suggest patching the firmware to the latest if it isn't / you haven't already. It may fix the issue.QRM wrote:Just picked up the WD hub and was surprised it worked without the need for a HD or ethernet connection, managed to pick everything up wirelessly from the NAS, no problem streaming high res MKV files from study to living room.

The standard for most pirating groups is about ~2.4GB per hour of 720p video for movies. These groups when they tend to emphasize as close to original quality as possible at the expense of conserving space. The same movies from iTunes or Netflix tend to be 50-65% the size, but noticeably lower quality even at 720p. They tend to rip TV shows a bit smaller, those come in around 1gb per hour. I rarely bother with the 1080p rips as they're absolutely huge file-size.QRM wrote:

Yeah, I have a similar Panasonic. Unfortunately it requires the movies to be encoded in a special format that isn't really used. I'm a bit sad, I just assumed all of the TVs would cover all of the standards. But, at least my TV has Facebook built-in. </sarcasm>QRM wrote:Just found out you dont even need the WD tv if you have a newish samsung TV I just plugged the HD into the TV and da da it can access all the files movies, photos etc even the MKV files I then just run a monitor out fiber optic cable to the amp and sound sorted.
