Western Digital Network Attached Storage Devices:

Device Name Device Model
My Book World Edition (Blue Rings) WDG1NCxxxxx
My Book World Edition (White Light) WDH1NCxxxxx
My Book World Edition II (Blue Rings) WDG2NCxxxxx
My Book World Edition II (White Light) WDH2NCxxxxx
Western Digital Sharespace WDA4NCxxxxx

Important:

  • While most NAS drives drives that have either UPnP streaming, or appear as a SAMBA device on your network, will work with the WD TV Live HD Media Player, we have done the majority of our testing using Western Digital NAS drives. As a result we cannot guarantee compatibility with any specific third-party NAS drives.
  • The My Book World (Blue Rings) does not support UPnP Streaming so will only be accessible by the WD TV Live Media Player as a Samba Device. Additionally as the drive was not designed as a media streaming device it may have trouble streaming video or streaming to multiple sources.
  • Western Digital recommends using an "N" class router when streaming wirelessly to the WD TV Live HD Media Player. Playback of video may be unstable when using a "G" class router.
