Even if you use FireTV infreequently for streaming your content, the inclusion of Netflix, and Amazon Prime can be handy. Anyway, the entry level cost is minimal if you can find either FireTV on sale at Amazon, price is good, and price of Kodi is even better – free. I have not noticed audio synce issues w/Kodi as much as I have with WDTV.

I just make ISO files, or m4v files with Handbrake for tablet use. I dunno, since I have very few MKV files. Sad that WD has decided to abandon this facet of their product lineup…

If anyone can recommend other off-the-shelf devices that can do a good job of performing the function I described above, I will be very grateful. I realize that an option might be to build my own HTPC boxes to replace some of the WD functionality, but at this point, that is more effort and complication than I would prefer. Since time has passed, I’m not sure if that has changed. When I first chose the WD players, and decided to encode all my media as MKV files, there didn’t seem to be many other choices available.

I don’t use these WD players for much else. The feature of this media player that is of most value to me is the ability to stream MKV files from my NAS device. Since discovering earlier today during a conversation with WD Technical Support that the devices neither sold nor supported any longer, I am concerned about being left in the lurch if my device(s) should fail in the future.
