hello Roman ,

i'm john and i have this:

1. wd00avp-00
2. 2'5 external hdd hxd5 250GB
3. convertor USB-RJ45-Konig CMP-NWUSB20.

i use your tutorial and now when start the wd-hd i have the IP 192........ , but i do not know how transfer file to external hdd or play movies in network.
please help me.
many thanks .

sandocan75@yahoo.com

I think the file transfer will be the next tutorial.
will follow soon?

Hi,

I plan on doing a tutorial on file sharing using FTP and video streaming using SAMBA shares next. From the looks of it you are doing a "wired" connection, (USB to RJ45?). If that is the case, I believe all you need is the modified firmware and not the files that come with this tutorial. I only mention this because you might have some extra files on your drive that arn't necessary if you went through this tutorial from beginning to end. Stick around and keep checking back, I am going to be working on the next tutorial on "sharing" in the near future... Feel free to post if you have any other questions.

Cheers!

hi ,

please explain what i need for file transfer

That's a whole tutorial in itself. The short of it is, you need the program Filezilla for FTP on your computer and you need the FTP server files for the WDTV. I will be doing a tutorial on it in the near future.

That tutorial is done now btw! :)

What wired usb-ethernet adapter can I use? Trying to find the cheapest option. I assume I install wdlxtv and plug and play?
Thanks!!

@Chris (I responded with this same post on the other page as well...)

I don't know off the top of my head what adapters work and what don't. I do know that you will have a much easier time getting MOST wired adapters to work vs. fooling with wireless. Furthermore, I am pretty sure that a broad range of adapters are supported for just simple "plug-n-play" as long as you have WDLXTV firmware installed. Unfortunately, the handy "wiki" page that used to give a full list of supported wired adapters has disappeared. :(... Generally it seems that adapters that are easily supported with Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, were also supported with the WDLXTV firmware. I wish I could tell you more. It seems like someone said that the nintendo gamecube? had a usb-to-ethernet adapter that worked... and I am pretty sure several people mentioned an old apple usb-to-ethernet adapter that worked. Good luck, please post back if you get something and it works (and it is cheap) as other people would probably like to have that info. Cheers, Roman

Hey Roman, nice work you've done here. I came across your blog too late as I bought myself a TP-Link TL-WN821N wireless adapter. I've tried myself to make it work as on various forums it was said that athero chipset based wireless adapters are working. Now.. my question would be.. do I need to find some linux drivers for my device or.. do you know somehow whether I can use a generic one... when/if I happen to find it somewhere. Thx for all the nice work you're doing... I wish I'd find your site earlier this week :(

@Marian

Those wireless app bins are getting harder to find as a lot of sites for the 1st gen WDTV have disappeared. If your adapter is using a chipset that is supported, it is all about getting the right app bin and the putting together the right settings.

Do you know what you exact chipset is?

I believe the wdtv forum is still operational, that is the place to search first.

This is probably one of the more complicated things to get set up.

As far as using straight linux drivers, if you are running linux, I remember running across a tutorial for compiling your own wdtv driver from a linux driver but that can be uber complicated if you aren't very technically inclined.

Good luck with it and tell me what you are able to figure out!

-Roman

Hello,
Great site....very helpful.

Using a D-Link adapter and everything from the networking standpoint works flawlessly. The only 'issue' is that the WDTVG1 keeps showing 'Scanning USB Device' even though there is no external drive attached. Things work fine, but it is more of nusiance. Any thoughts?

@ Nick

Sorry to get back with you so late. Try turning the media library function off. I believe it is under system settings. I have another post on this site about it.

http://romanstechhelp.blogspot.com/2010/10/keep-your-media-library-turned-off.html

Take a look at that article. The media library is a cool idea but in my opinion it causes more trouble than it is worth.

Hopefully that fixes the problem. Tell me what happens :)

Good luck!

Roman

Hey Roman,

Very helpful stuff here.

I got up and running with my IP address... still working on getting the sharing to work, but I was wondering if there's a tutorial on using a torrent client yet. Is it necessary to have the sharing up and running for me to be able to run a torrent client?
Thanks.

@ Doohyun

In regards to running a torrent client directly on the device... I probably am not going to do a tutorial... The reason being I have never had much success with it. It is fairly complicated (no big deal, we have done other complicated things) BUT it also tends to lock up or severely slow down the device. I really only want to advise people on how to do things that have a reasonable amount of stability.

If you want to do some more research, the program that is used is called RTorrent.

However, I am still toying with the idea of doing a tutorial on dowloading .torrent files to a watch folder on your networked computer from the WDTV device. A torrent client on your PC would then start downloading to a folder that is shared with your WDTV making your video instantly available once it is finished downloading. I have had a modicum of success with this method in the past but it does slow down the boot time of the device significantly.

-Roman

Great site and tutorials!
I would like to do this to my generation 2 player, can I used the same tutorial and files?

@ Tibimakai

I have an alternative download link available that has 2nd generation custom firmware. This is on my first tutorial on installing custom firmware.

After you install custom firmware for your device, you could then TRY this out with the files I provide. I have no idea if it will work, but it shouldn't harm your device to try :)...

Messing with firmware is the only "dangerous" thing on this site, once you get that working, you can try out most of the other stuff without too much worry..

Cheers,
Roman2025

Apologies. Please ignore my last. I have previously posted this but not realize until too late!

Great stuff. I have the first tutorial working on my HDTV with the custom firmware. And I just ordered a D-Link DWA-140 to run the tut on networking. Can I use a WEP setup instead of the PSK stuff you showed? I understand the security, etc.. but I have an older pc running in my home and it has an older/cheap wireless adapter and it will not connect if I do anything but WEP for some reason.

@ NUT

Yes, you can use WEP, as long as you understand the security risks. WEP is basically only security from ignorant passing interlopers and ignorant neighbors as it will keep clueless people from freely using your network. Anyone that know how to use Google efficiently can crack WEP but from your post it sounds like you know this...

I would honestly just recommend upgrading the wireless on the older device. If it is a laptop, I would just disable the internal wireless card and use a "MICRO" USB wireless "N" card. You are going to want to be running wireless-N on your WHOLE network because a wireless network will only run as fast as its slowest component. I am guessing your antiquated equipment is at most only Wireless-G?

I recently picked up an Airlink Wireless-N Gold adapter on Amazon for less than $20. Very tiny and so far it has worked very well for my wife's laptop. It is very small so it doesn't get in the way at all.

To Directly answer your question, WEP will work, but you have to modify some settings in one of the files and you have to know your WEP key I believe.

If you are hell-bent on using WEP I will help you out (i.e. you can email me your settings and I will try to create a new file for you or I can try to walk you through the modification on here.) But I STRONGLY suggest making sure all of the devices on your network are wireless-N. It is a good upgrade all-around, that is how you can pitch it to any significant other's in the household :), and it is true, it will make your network feel so much faster!

http://www.amazon.com/AirLink101-AWLL6075-Wireless-Mini-Adapter/dp/B002RCKDEC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302409306&sr=8-1

That is the link for the adapter I purchased for my wife's laptop; I think it has come down in price even :)...

@ Tron

Did you get your Sabrent G1000 working? If so, HOW... I would love to get the drivers from you and provide them on here as well as a recommendation to use that adapter as it is Gigabit and I am sure many other people would prefer a wired option :)

Thanks,
Roman

I've got from Ebay a used DWA140(China) and it has a weid driver rt3572sta(v07D1P3C09). It'a a B1.
You think that I can use this adapter?

If it is a DWA-140 B1 then YES you should be just fine. That is what I am currently using. Is the software pack not working?

the adapter didn't have any life in it. it has a different driver, not the 2870, maybe that's why is not working. I have tried the latest b-rad fw and it works with that(by manualy selecting my adapter's driver, the auto-detect didn't pick it up). with Padavan's v194 fw it's working also, but I wouldlike to use your setup since you have a diy on how to do all these setups. I'm a novice in all this. I don't know anything about networking/sharing/streaming. I can setup a basic home network, that's all my experience with networking.

@ tibimakai

If it is a Rev. B1 it should be the RT2870 chipset. See here:
http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-140_rev_B1

If it doesn't have the RT2870 chipset then it is not a Revision B1 device.

Here is what happened to me the first time I bought what I thought was a "DWA-140" off of ebay:

1. I ordered the cheapest one I could find on eBay (like anyone else would)

2. It got to my house, from hong-kong, pretty quickly. It was a "Revision-B1" based on what is said on the plastic casing...

3. I plug it into my Windows 7 computer to test it out...

4. Windows recognized the device but not as a DWA-140 but as an old "wireless-g" -ONLY- device.

5. I crack the casing apart and sure enough it is a DIFFERENT chipset inside.

6. I contacted the seller and complained to eBay and got my money refunded because I was scammed.


Apparently there is a rash of FAKE DWA-140's on eBay right now. Alot of sellers don't even realize they are selling them because they buy a bunch of them in bulk. Anyhow, what happens is someone somewhere is taking the plastic casing apart, taking out the rt2870 device and replacing it something cheaper in order to make a buck. Or they are buying a bunch of defective/broken 2870 devices and reusing the plastic casings. I don't know, but I got scammed. I am suspecting that that "may" be the case with your device.

I didn't mention it initially because it sounded like you had a wireless-N chipset? But I am thinking now that you bought a fake, like I did.

That is why I ended up ordering one through a seller on Amazon that was based out of the US. You can still get scammed on Amazon but I at least felt a bit safer and I did get the correct device the second time around.

The eBay seller let me keep the fake device. I still have it sitting at my house. Not a happy day!

Wish I had better news but based on what you are telling me that is really the only thing that makes sense. If you device is labeled B1 or rev. B1 it should have the 2870 chipset. My understanding is that there are only rev B1 and rev B2 devices available.

Tell me if you are bale to figure anything else out. Wish I had better news :(

-Roman

I was thinking the same thing. But when I check the properties, all over shows up as a D-link device. They can fake that too?
There are two specs or barcodes(not sure what is under) are covered with some tape, that's wierd.
Right now I have loaded the 0.4.5.3 wdlxtv fw and it's working great, finally showed up the webend too, but it took like three tries to get it going (the update). It froze on me a couple of times.
Now I have to learn about how to get shares and streaming working.
Eventually I will open up the device and I will report back here my findings. How can I prove that's a fake unit?

If you have a Windows 7 machine, plug the device in. Windows will start downloading drivers automatically, click on the little icon in your task tray while it does that and see what it tells you. In my case, it gave me model number of a much older wirless-G d-link device. That more or less "proved" it for me. There is also a way to read something called "vid" and "pid" numbers on a usb device. If those number are different from what they should be for a DWA-140 rev. B1 then that is conclusive that you have a different device of some kind. I am not sure where to get the software to read those numbers though :(... Do some google-fu and tell us if you come up with anything :)...

Finally, you can try taking the plastic casing apart. I was able to snap mine apart pretty easily at the white plastic seam and it went back together pretty easily after that. You can read what is printed on the chips.

I think all of the above isn't necessary though as you already know you have a different chipset than what you should have. The odd thing is that the rt3572 chipset (based on what I can find via google) appears to be a "Better" chipset than the rt2870? It supports full wireless-N.

Does your DWA-140 look like my DWA-140 in this link?
http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DWA-140-RangeBooster-802-11n-Wireless/dp/B0010T8X54?ie=UTF8&tag=romste-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969

There may actually be a driver for your chipset that will work with the WDTV. From the little bit of looking around I have done, it looks like there is support for the rt3572 in 2nd Generation WDTV devices. I think the chipset is listed in the default "net.config" file that comes with the custom gen 2 firmware? This makes me think that support might already be built-in to the 2nd gen firmware. Let me take a look at my 2nd gen firmware pack and get back to you.

Bah! Nevermind on that last bit, I just realized that I don't have a 2nd generation unit to install the firmware on (duh!) and therefore can't see the default net.config file. If you haven't modified your net.config file from the default, feel free to send a copy of it over to me at roman2025@gmail.com

Okay, based on what I am reading here:
http://wdtvforum.com/main/index.php?action=printpage;topic=5083.0

it sounds like support for your chipset is actually built right in to the 2nd generation firmware. So, that means you shouldn't have to use an app bin from my software pack. Take a look at that link above and look at the guy who posted his net.config file. He was trying to get is rt73 chipset device to work and he uncommented (removed the # net to modprobe rt73) the line for his device in his net.config file. I would LOVE to get my hands on the net.config file that is put on your device by Default when you flash the 2nd generation firmware. I could possible modify it to work with this tutorial and make a new software pack for 2nd generation device users. I might be able to better help you get your rt3572 device working as well.

Cheers,
Roman

Thanks for all the help. I opened it up and it's a 2870 chip. That's weird because by checking the vid/pid and looking into the supported devices on the wdlxtv forum, it looks like it's a 3572 device. on the back it sais B1G version.
Could you post your vid/pid info here to make a comparison?
It looks the same as in that link, it just doesn't have that refresh button on it.
It also has a label on the side saying something in Chinese, which prevents it to be opened. I guess they don't want us to look inside. But I still did.
I looked up that wiki link and the ID is the same as my vid/pid info. I have to double check on the forum.
I have modified my net.config file already.
I think that I will stick with the new wdlxtv fw, since it's working much better then other fws I have tried.
Thank you for all your help.
It would be nice if somebody would make a nice diy like you did on the gen 2.

http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=2809
if you check on the 3572 at the 5th line the 8th vid/pid, is there mine.

@tibimakai

If I had a 2nd gen unit I would make another video :)... Unfortunately, not very many people own the 2nd generation units. How did you check your vid/pid numbers? I would be happy to do the same on my device I just don't know how :)

I have never heard of a "B1G" version? Perhaps there are some other odd revisions out there??

My device has a sticker on the back that reads:

H/W Ver.: B1 F/W Ver.: 1.30
S/N: P1GH185015137

I have googled around but I can't find anything conclusive on a B1g Device and what chipset it might have. Although it does sound like it is a legitimate device?

I took a look at that forum post. It looks like if your number matches up it SHOULD be supported by that firmware directly which means you just have to figure out how to configure the network parameters. Honestly, I am pretty clueless because I am completely unfamiliar with 2nd Generation Devices. I think I could figure my way through it if I had it right in front of me but I am not sure how much advice I can give you in this context :)

This is an odd/interesting situation and I am glad you are sharing it on here. Perhaps some other 2nd Gen users will find it helpful, especially if we ever get a solution :)...

Does the device light up/blink when you turn your WDTV on? (obviously with it plugged in lol)

The vid/pid is in the device mngr., DWA140, detail, hardware ls.
It's working great now, though I haven't used your software to set up the network. I have used your samba aplication to setup the sharing/streaming and it's working great on a generation 2.
Thank you for your help.

@ Tibimakai

Based on what I had read about the 2nd Generation Firmware I figured you probably wouldn't need the drivers for your USB adapter. I am glad the Samba application worked though and you were able to get sharing up and running. Congrats on getting it all working :)

Cheers,
Roman

I would like to ask you a favor and I believe it would help everyone who visits your site.
You know what can be done with these players(there limits)?
For example I can see youtube or something from the interenet? I see some Live 356, YoutubeHD, etc in the settings, but not sure if the gen 2 it's capable of these features or these are for the Live only.

I imagine that the Gen 2 IS "capable" of doing these things as my understanding is that it has the same or very similar hardware as the "Live" version. However I am not sure if it is possible to enable these features. The Live and the Live Plus are nearly identical but it is my understanding that you CANNOT enable Netflix on the "Live" even with custom firmware...

I wish I had a more solid answer but I don't own anything other than the 1st Generation unit so I know very little in regards to hacking the other devices.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help,
Roman

Hello, I am not getting an IP address. I have the B1 adapter with the 2870 chipset. I never get any light flashing on my adapter when plugged into the wdv (G1). I am using the wireless-mod-rt.app.bin file. I have gone over things several times, any thoughts as to what may be going on here?

@anonymous

I will have to look through the tutorial again. I haven't done this in a while :)... Something isn't configured correctly or the driver you are using is wrong? Did you get your files from here? If you didn't get your files from my download link then do so. That could possibly fix your issue :)

Cheers,
Roman

I was not able to download the files for the wdlxtv from your link, the file was corrupt. I got the wdlxtv firmware loaded with files from b-rad. I did use your file from this tutorial for the wireless. Thanks for your efforts.

Hello Roman and tank you very mutch for this greats tutorials.

One question is it possible use an adapter usb/rj45 if ist´s possible what we need to do or what files i have to put.

Sorry for my English but i am portuguese

hello Roman, i have D-link DWA-140 B1 ver. 1,20 and dont work. I have made installation custom firmware and all that you say in the video. Says no-ip and Dlink does not turn on by no means led.

antonis from greece

Since I was unable to download the WDLXTV files from your link in that tutorial and used the files directly from B-RAD's page, do you think that my "no ip" might be caused by using a later verion of WDLXTV? I used 1.03.01_B-RAD.CC_WDLXTV-0.5.8.1.

Thanks
Shawn

@ anonymous

The volume label for the thumb drive you are using to load your files. Does it have any spaces in the name? Another user just found out this was causing problems with his OSD mod not working? I am wondering if it could cause other problems as well and it is worth checking as it is an easy fix.

In regards to the firmware version, I think the version you are using is what is packaged with my first video. I was just making sure you got the files for THIS tutorial from here as they include a wireless driver.

Are you absolutely certain you are following the video exactly and properly editing the settings files?

We will get it figured out eventually :)

Cheers,
Roman

@ Anonymous

This may sound like a dumb question but I like to try and cover all my bases :)... Have you tried to plug the wireless adapter into your computer to make sure it works? Windows Vista/7 should immediately find it and get drivers for it and it should blink from the get-go.

If you haven't tested out the actual device, try to :)

-Roman

Eventually I will want to take a look at your net.config file. If your device is functional, but it doesn't even blink when you start your WDTV up, then more than likely something is misconfigured in there.

Cheer,
Roman

This comment has been removed by the author.

Thanks for your help. I got it to work finally by using a different usb stick. I had been using a 16gig stick, but when I retried this last time, I used a 1gig stick and it did get an ip address. There were no spaces in the volume label on the 16gig stick. Thanks again, now I can have a networked box in the bedroom to compliment my wdtv live plus in the family room.

Hello roman how are you

@ Nuno

Unfortunately my tutorial only deals with one particular model wireless adapter. As such, I don't really have experience with anything else :)... My understanding however is that wired adapters with either just work or NOT work with the custom firmware with little or no modification beyond that.

Wish I could be of more help,

Roman

@ Shawn

Glad you were able to finally get things working :)

Hello roman tanks for your comment.

I solve my problem buying a hub 2.0 and now i have internet on wdtv but is too slow so i go buy another adapter 2.0 because this one is 1.1

Hi Roman,

I've been trying to connect me WDTV wireless to my router but no luck...

- I have D-Link DSL-G624T router with WAP security and DHCP on
- I have a D-Link DWA-140 Ver.B1 usb adapter which I installed on my PC and works fine! (it connects to the router)
- I have a WDTV Model: WD00AVP-00 - WDTV HD Media Player (Gen 1) with B-rad's firmware installed properly (from your software pack). I turned off media Library.
- I use a 4GB usb flash where I have all files needed, as you describe in your tutorial.
net.config
net.mounts
RT2870STA.dat
S00custom-options
screen_saver.png
wdtv.bin
wdtv.ver
welcome_background_bg.jpg
wireless-mod-rt.app.bin

The net.config file has:
WLAN_CFG=RT2870STA.dat
WLAN_LOAD=rt2870sta.ko
because I have the B1 DWA-140 adapter

The RT2870STA.dat has:
SSID=JOHN
NetworkType=Infra
WirelessMode=5
Channel=6
AuthMode=WPA
EncrypType=TKIP
WPAPSK=MYPASS

Everything seems to be all right BUT I get NO-IP

Do you have any idea what may be wrong?
I've been trying to connect that @!#$@# WDTV for days...

Thanks for your reply
John

Correction!
- I have D-Link DSL-G624T router with WPA security and DHCP on

Oh! and the D-Link DWA-140 Ver.B1 usb adapter BLINKS in the WDTV but it dosn't connect to the router...

OK! I had an idea to dissable the wireless security on my router, and I edited the RT2870STA.dat:
AuthMode=
EncrypType=
WPAPSK=
and I got an IP!!!!

So, something is wrong with these 3 lines
AuthMode=WPA
EncrypType=TKIP
WPAPSK=MYPASS

As I cannot leave my wireless with no encryption, I will have to find what is wrong with these 3 lines...

p.s. sorry for the long postings, I hope though I might help others with the same problem...

Hey, no problem on the long postings. If I had been checking on here more often I could have told you that it was your security (since your device was blinking but not getting a connection).

WPA2PSK should be in your AuthMode line (you need to switch to this security in your router settings as well)

EncrypTyp needs to be AES (also a change that needs to be makde on your router)

try those out and see if it works

Glad you were able to at least get an IP address. That is half the battle. Figuring this other stuff out isn't too bad from here :)

Good luck and please give me an update!

Cheers,

Roman

http://topnotchtablets.com (my new tablet sales website... which has been keeping me very busy lol :)....)

Hi Roman, thanks for the tutorial! One question and its a pretty noob-ish one...

Do I have to keep the USB key with the config/FW/app.bin plugged in all the time?

Thanks again!

@Anonymous

For this tutorial, YES. Those app.bins are loaded off of your thumb drive each time your device starts as are the settings files.

Cheers,

Roman

Can't download the file from filedropper. It stops shorts and when I try to open it it says it's corrupt!?

Hello Roman

Could you please provide a new link? The one from filedropper is corrupt :-(

Great tutorial Roman - thanks very much for your help, it all looks very straightforward and I'm keen to get started but have also noticed the WDTV-Wireless-SoftwarePack files are not available, when I download I get a zip file without contents...

any chance of an updated dl link? when i dl it there is no files in it...please help, i appreciate ur hard work on all this roman, and for breaking it down for an idiot like me lol awesome job!

Link doesn't work! Update pls! :)
Your guide looks good!

The files are missing from the rar file in the link provided. Any chance you could re-upload them at all?

Bravo for an excellent tutorial. It's a pity that it can't be used without the files.

Does anyone else who's downloaded the files still got them?

Cheers,
Warren

I was unable to download the files as well. Im excited for romanstechhelp to re-upload them. This totally revamped my device.

Has anyone been able to find these files somewhere else?

Roman- This may sound stupid but anyway here goes, I have a Netgear n300 which is connected to my isp and serves my desktop which in turn serves my laptop. My question is if I buy the D-Link suggested for the WDTV 1st Gen, would it be compatible, overkill or just plain stupid of me to ask?
Thanks ahead of time for all the time and effort you have spent. To date everything you have suggested has worked for me.

Guess I should have looked @ the file before posting. The zip file has no files in it, as others have posted. :(((((

For anyone looking for the file listed above, good luck. Meanwhile if you prefer to try this link,

http://b-rad.cc/900/wdlxtv-app-pack-wireless-mod-wdlxtv/

you may find it to be more techy than you wish but it is a fair alternative dl and the WDLXTV upgrade is based off this one as mentioned by Roman.
Hopefully Roman will correct the corruption with Filedropper.
Good luck.

Filedropper file gone, please reup thanks

One thing I forgot. Include these informations in "net.config" file. Without them I could not manage to get things work.
