    Help wdtv problem

    i have been using WDTV for a while now(3-4 years) without a problem, had 4TB attached via USB, i can access it from my pc to move downloads to it, plex uses it as media drive, tonight the damn thing will not see attached USB drive.
    fitted drive to my pc & no problem with it, my network cant see wdtv drive, wdtv cant see USB drive.
    i need a simple player that i can connect the 4tb to and see it on my pc.
    i dont want nas system, any ideas?

    Have you tried re-flashing the firmware to the WDTV? Had a similar issue with my WDTV Hub ages ago and a reflash with the same firmware sorted it.

    Does your router have a usb port? Should be able to plug it in and share across all devices on your network - slight change on settings depending on the router itself needed.

    Thanks to chizh

    The drive itself is okay I assume? Put it in something else to test.
