WD Live player hints & tips

[TBoneit]

Would anybody care to share anything they've discovered to enhance using the little gem? I find it to be a improvement over the WDTV player

Everybody may already know this but I found it last night for example.

When you start a video playing, Hit the enter button to remove the status bar at the bottom of the screen right away.
Hit enter to display the status bar and hit enter to remove it. Useful if you are like me and pull the power when you power down and want to know where you left off or how much time is left.

Cheers

To skip 10mins at a time (aka poor mans chapters)
Hit FF
Hit Skip

Thumbs for your Folders or Movies?
For a folder call it "folder.jpg" and place it in the folder
For movies, movie name.jpg (has to be exactly the same)

Found online tips:

Play multiple files in a row
Instead of pressing the Enter button while a file is selected, you can press the Play button to play all of the files in the current folder sequentially, beginning with the currently selected file.

Use multiple external subtitles with the same video
If you have a file named video.avi, you can add subtitle files named video.srt to view subtitles. However, if you have multiple subtitle files, you can still use them: If you had an English subtitle file and a Spanish subtitle file, you could name them video.en.srt and video.es.srt and they would both be available during playback of the video. This also works for other subtitle formats, such as SMI, SSA, SUB, or IDX.

How to use MKV chapters
During video playback, if an MKV being played has chapters, press the Option button and select the rightmost icon (the one that has a bunch of litle squares) in the options menu. You can then choose a chapter to play.

Page up/page down in file browsing
While browsing through files, press Next or Prev on the remote to page up/page down.

Subtitle sync adjustment
During video playback, press the left or right arrow keys on the remote to adjust subtitle synchronization by 100 ms at a time.
