I recently purchased a Western Digital TV Live HD media player. It sees the media stored on my NL M2 NAS, but only when I set the UPnP compliance profile to "GENERIC". If I select "DLNA" the player sees the folders, but not the media stored in the folders, even though the player is certified to be DLNA 1.5 compliant.

It's not a show stopper, not really even an issue, I'd just like to know why.

I will post a similar message on the WD forum and try to approach the answer from the other end.

I have the same problem. Did you ever find a resolution?

DLNA does not support all media formats. In fact it can be pretty picky. Generic on the other hand does not filter and hands everything over to the client.

I'm using .jpg and .avi for testing. My assumption is these files should have no compatibility issues. I'm playing with the NASLite and WD TV Live settings to see if I can get it working. So far no luck.

I never did get any reply from the WD TV Live! forums, so nothing new to add from there. I had been testing with mp3 files so, again, there ought to be no compatibility issues.
