Hi guys,

I'm considering getting the WD TV HD Live Media Player:

I've been doing quite a bit of research and browsed a few forums, but I can't figure out whether this media player features media info? I currently use Windows Media Center to view my series/etc, and I use Media Center Master to download the media info and generate the metadata files. Can the WD recognise these metadata files, or can it download its own?

My episodes are all named S01E01 etc, so not displaying any media info is not an option - it would just get confusing as hell. Also, does it have a "watched" indicator?

Can anyone post some screenshots of what the interface looks like with media info?
 
I used to have XBMC, don't want to go that route again this time though.
Anyone know of a media player that DOES feature media info?

Get sick beard and let it get nfos etc for all your stuff.
 
Ah great! Any screenshots of what it looks like when WDTV displays a TV series' episode media info?
Also, how about that "watched" indicator?
 
Next Post is better - have a look

I have a WD TV Live Hub - Slightly different to your model ...

The media center can automatically download media info for you, it will then provide you with a writeup on what you are watching, a preview image and some other Images of the episode.

This feature was introduced in a recent patch.
 
Deep78, you don't. It runs on your PC, where it adds the metadata to the video folders.
I used Media Center Master before, and have now switched over to Sickbeard. Very impressed with it.
