![]() ![]() And it does not let me 'drill down" to many of the sub folders. only part of the folder/file names are displayed. Instead, you’d plug the Chromecast into the input on your HDMI splitter, and then use an HDMI cable to connect the output on the splitter to your display. For example, say you have a simple setup where you just want to plug a Chromecast into an old monitor. However the files / folders are displayed in a horrible user interface (or lack of one) format that is hard to use, i.e. To use the splitter, simply put it between the output and display device. What can I do to have this media player user interface (or similar) on my TV? I know I can connect the hard drive (via USB) to the TV, and I can actually play most of the files. I assume that it might be because the Samsung TV doesn’t recognize the operating system of the user interface? It’s like the TV does not recognize the device, other than to display the WD splash screen. When connecting the WD device, it doesn’t work. But recently, I upgraded my TV to a Samsung Smart TV. I LOVE the user interface, especially the thumbnail previews, which makes it easy for me, or someone who is unfamiliar with the library, browse the contents. I have organized these hundreds of video files by subject and other criteria (through the way I have structured the files). I may be using the device for unique purposes, but I have spent years building a library of DVD’s and videos on an external hard drive. I have owned a WD TV Live HD Media Player (firmware version 1.02.21) for years. Non-techie here, so hope someone can help me. ![]()
