I have had the Mybook live for about a month. I wanted to be able to play videos I have stored on the drive, on my iPad.
I have purchased various apps that have promised me the world but have let me down. Your assistance would be appreciated. I have lurked in the forums for a month now, hoping to find someone else with the problem, but have seen no one else with the same issue.
Airplayer does not recognize my MyBook live automatically.
I configured the twonky server as http://[ip]:9000/DeviceDescription.xml which seemed to work because it sees the server, but when I select it it doesn't find the public folder (or any other folder). I get no error, just an empty screen, but i tried rebuilding the database anyway, and it didn't help.
I am not using a username or password.
The drive is recognized on my macs and my pc without any issues (as a network location)
My wdtv live connects without issues.
I eventually paid for the wdpro2go app which allows me to play some videos, but they have to be iPad/iTunes compatible videos (mp4). Would really like to get Airplayer to work.
(Also i think you should update twonky server info on manual setup page since I am the second person to post that the server is http://[ip]:9000/DeviceDescription.xml not http://[ip]:9000/TMSDeviceDescription.xml. Unless that is just a wd my book live thing)
Any help would be appreciated.
