A few moments after releasing Firmware 2.02.32 for WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, the producer has also made available a new firmware targeted at its TV media player, namely 1.01.30.

This new release adds support for BBC iPlayer, BBC News, and BBC Sport for UK users, updates the WD TV End-User License Agreement, and resolves the issue where the player would reboot when manually getting content information.

In addition to that, the issue where content playback stops after a long period of usage has been resolved, and the problems with audio not syncing and constant video freezing when mp4 formats with AAC audio files are used have also been fixed.

Moreover, the TMDB API image URL process has been updated, and the search feature from the Grid UI home screen can now be used from the Western Digital’s infrared remote.

As for installing this firmware, get and extract the downloadable archive, copy all five files onto a formatted USB storage, and connect it to the player’s USB port.

Now, press Home and then Firmware Upgrade, select “OK” to confirm the installation process, and let the device do the rest. Upon completion, the unit will reboot automatically, at which point you must remove the USB stick, and you’re done.

That being said, download WD TV Media Player Firmware 1.01.30, take into account all aforementioned steps, apply the latest firmware version on the device, and enjoy your newly improved media player.
