[HELP] Avi files failing on WDTVLive

Post by fasn8d »

Hi All,

Need your help. I have QNAP TS-431 running plex (which has its problems).
When I try to watch .avi files from my NAS through my WDTVLIVE they fail. The video will start and fail after 5-10 seconds.

When I watch the same .avi file through the Plex server it works 99% of the time.

Does anyone know why this would happen? and how to fix.

Cheers,

WDTVLive access the NAS as a shared folder.
No Plex Client in the WD, it appears as a shared server.

Sorry i'm very new to all this.
