Format a USB thumb drive to FAT32.

Put on it's root level at least the following WDTXLive files:

  • wdtvlive.bin
  • wdtvlive.ver

In case you need to downgrade to an earlier version than the one currently installed, edit the wdtvlive.ver file to force a virtually higher version

Example: You have 1.01.17. Edit the beginning of the line VERSION='1.01.xx ...' to at least VERSION='1.01.18'

For further customization add to it also the following files:

  • net.mounts
  • S00custom-options
  • smb.conf (if avaiable)

If you already previously installed a WDLXTV version on the WDTVLive, these files will override your previous customizations, so make sure you update them accordingly.

Plug the USB thumb drive into the WDTVLive, reboot the WDTVLive and follow the UI instructions.
