Hi All,

I wanted to buy WD live tv. since its not having inbuilt DVD player, can I use external usb DVD Drive ,and attach it to the WD live USB port..? will this setup allows me to play DVD and other video formats which are in DVD.?

I already have USB DVD Drive. so don't want to go for new DVD Player..

Yes, it can do it.

You need to mod it.

@sam9s i know WD wil play DVD Iso's but, but i have lots of DVD's so every time i cannot make iso.. waste of time and space..

i just want to know whether it needs and converter or tweaking or just if i plug USB DVD writer into WD's USB port is enough..?

has anyone tried..?

Just hack firmware of WDTV Live, connect external DVD ROM & play
