Hi,
i'm using a share of the Mybooklive for my sat-receiver. Sometimes it doesn't mount the share, probably because the Mybooklive is sleeping. The mount never fails when the drive is active. How can I wake up the drive before I mount the share? http-get to an adress or something like that possible?
Hi.
I installed Twonky 7.0.9 on WD My Book Live.
To be able to use Logitech Media Server (for Squeezebox Classic) at port 9000, I want to change httpport of Twonky 7.0.9 to port 8000 for example.
Using Twonky v. 5 first, I fixed that issue with "vi /CacheVolume/twonkymedia/twonkymedia-server.ini". But this file does not exist with Twonky v. 7 anymore.
Please support me…
Thanks.
I have a white light version with a 750 WD drive that I reloaded myself. Its been running for a year just fine, but now it won't boot. The drive just "softly" clicks. I though the drive was dead, but I just ran a full MHDD diagnostics and all the sectors are fine. I do get lights on in the front. One at the top and one at the bottom. Top light blinks slowly.
I wonder if it corrupted itself. It used to hang sometimes requiring a power reset to clear itself.
Any suggestions to recover it? I think I need to mount it in Linux but what should I look for?
Hi! I want to tell how to install full-blown Debian Testing distro to MBL with no interference with current firmware. You may upgrade firmware at any time without loosing installed Debian Testing.
Optional, you may install minidlna and/or transmission during installation by answering "y" to appropriate questions.
This is an "sandbox" where you can install/remove/configure anything you want with no harm to the firmware! As for me, I'm using tvheadend to record IPTV, apcupsd to shutdown MBL gracefully on power failure, btsync and transmission for P2P file exchange.
Installation is quite simple:
wget httр://mbl-common.googlecode.cоm/svn/chroot-install/install.sh sh ./install.sh Using
Chosen chroot'ed services will be started on boot time, you may start it manually by:
/etc/init.d/chroot_debian.sh start To enter to Debian Testing type:
chroot /DataVolume/debian To exit from Debian Testing:
exit To start a new service from Debian Tesing on the boot time install and configure it in chroot'ed Debian and add service name to /DataVolume/debian/chroot-services.list
To stop chroot'ed services type:
/etc/init.d/chroot_debian.sh stop To restore chroot'ed services autostart after firmware update:
/DataVolume/debian/chroot_debian.sh install To remove all traces of Debian Testing installation type:
/etc/init.d/chroot_debian.sh stop /etc/init.d/chroot_debian.sh remove rm -fr /DataVolume/debian/ Regards, Alexander Ryzhov
Bought second hand an MBWE 2, but bricked it quite fast.
Used this guide to unbrick it:
http://iknowsomething.com/how-to-fix-bricked-wd-my-book-world-edition-or-install-brand-new-disk/comment-page-18/#comments
This goes perfectly up to the points 11 and 12: Insert 2nd disk an start up MBWE.
Then it starts up briefly, but within a few minutes, it powers off again.
When I extract the disk and read it with an external SATA-USB device, I see that the disk is not formatted yet.
Did this twice in 2 directions:
- ran the mbwe-install.sh script on drive A, inserted it in the MBWE, cleaned drive B and installed it: no success
- ran the mbwe-install.sh script on drive B, inserted it in the MBWE, cleaned drive A and installed it: no success
In both cases the installed drives comes up with status good in the network manager, but as soon as second drive is inserted, it powers off again.
Hi All,
My guess is that this has come up before, and I apologize, but I didn't find quite what I was looking for so am asking, politely, here.
I just successfully replaced my original 2TB drives with new 3TB drives. Now, I need to migrate the data over from one of the old drives.
My guess is there are a number of ways this can be done; I'm looking for a proven and basic way to do this. I thought I was going to be able to use the USB port on the back and connect the 2TB drive to it and then use copy manager, but this doesn't seem to be an option (the GUI shows the 2TB USB connected drive, but copy manager doesn't seem to be able to read the contents).
Please point me in the right direction. I am running Windows 7 Pro; can run Ubuntu if necessary.
Thanks,
-M.
Please, can someone please tell me how to recover the erased user data after doing a factory reset?
It would be great if someone can help me…I lost a very valuable affective memories there (photos).
Thanks.
have the Western Digital My Book Live Duo Personal Cloud Storage 6TB NAS Drive. I have set it up as an FTP server. Is there any WD or 3rd party software I can use to track upload/download/usage of the various logins on the FTP server. Just as a way of safeguarding my bandwidth. Would allow me to limit certain accounts from downloading from it if they take too much data per month.
Did anyone manage to get crashplan (crashplan.com) running on the white light?
Hello all,
Firstly, thank you to Alexander Ryzhov for his guide on chroot on this forum on .14 May 2013, 10:22.
I am now able to run tightvncserver and have jwm windows manager running on My Book Live.
Please note that tightvncserver is not secure, so I will need to do research on how to secure it.
I needed to create a temp swap file(s) to enable this.
Use the following command to create 1024 * 512MB = 524288 block size swap file [size 512MB]:
i.e.,
MyBookLiveTwo:/DataVolume/shares# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile.2 bs=1024 count=524288 524288+0 records in 524288+0 records out 536870912 bytes (537 MB) copied, 13.1116 s, 40.9 MB/s MyBookLiveTwo:/DataVolume/shares# ls -rtl total 6724672 drwxrwxr-x 2 root share 65536 Oct 27 2010 SmartWare drwxrwxr-x 3 root share 65536 Apr 1 17:10 TimeMachineBackup drwxrwxr-x 8 nobody share 65536 May 22 23:31 Public drwxrwxrw- 2 root root 65536 May 23 23:13 unix -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 67108864 May 24 00:17 swapfile.0 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 67108864 May 24 00:17 swapfile.1 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2071468032 May 24 00:19 swapfile.4 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2071468032 May 24 23:33 swapfile.3 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2071468032 May 24 23:34 swapfile.5 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 536870912 May 25 00:39 swapfile.2 apt-get install xserver-xorg-core apt-get install dialog apt-get install tightvncserver apt-get install x11-apps apt-get install jwm Will update with better information once I can replicate it.

hi,
since i've installed openvpn on my my book live, the led's are permanently green and the hdd doesn't go to sleep mode.
When i stop the openvpn server with the "/etc/init.d/openvpn stop" command, everything seems to be okay.
How can i resolve this problem?
Switch between Twonky Media Server and WD's DLNA Media Server on a My Book Live
Works for me… Very easy… Subs 100% Work in .mkv and .mp4

MBWE (white light) formated in both harddisks. This error is a result of the system does not load the device. I do not know linux, I can upload again the operating system or hard disk, backup image, you can download a setup file Is there a link?
I've got a 500mb MBWE and I can't access my shares from my mac or windows box.
I can get into the web GUI, but any of the operations to manage anything such as shares, firmware upgrade, result in an error.
It does show the list of shares in the web GUI.
If I try to create a new share, modify an existing share, or create a new user I get this:
Error Code:: f00013
Failed to write shares.inc
Please try again
If I try to upgrade the firmware I get this;
A Serious Error has Occurred
Error Code:: f00030
Failed to access WD Upgrade site
Is there any hope to fix whatever situation the software is in?
Or getting access to files via ftp or ssh?
It seems like the hacks I've seen so far require a new account to get in via SSH or FTP.
Any help/clues appreciated!
I do some software development on linux but certainly not an expert on the OS, but can find my way around a bit.
thanks

This thing is awful, the box promises I can stream films from it. I have updated to Twonky 7.0.9 Special but it still wont show mkv files.
Even watching a 700mb xvid it is so jumpy it is unwatchable.
Is there a way to get mkv working on the xbox?
Dear friends, I have a Vivotek IP7330 camera and i´m having issues while trying to record video to my wd my book live. Both the camera and the mybook have the latest firmware.
Just to let you know, I have three cameras, two can record without issues, the vivotek can´t. Previously i had a WD Mybook World which would work with all three cameras without issues.
When the vivotek tries to record to samba server, i file with 0kb (zero) is recorded to the choosen folder. If I use the ftp server of the wd mybook live, it works flawlessly.
Here´s the wd mybook live log output when the camera attempts to send video:

I have already tried to remove "max protocol = SMB2" line from smb-global.conf, restarting the unit, to downgrade samba protocol to v1. Also I downgraded the firmware to version 02.11.09-053 but no luck.
Any help will be really apreciated.
I installed CUPS but can not get the daemon to start. I followed the sites posts on installing CUPS but nothing but the same error,
The error log indicates "cupsenable: Operation failed: client-error-not-found"
Also the client.conf is now where to be found.So what is in there, so I can create it if it is missing.
Thanks
Hey guys,
Im looking for some Gurus on the subject.
I have an Apple TV 3 which is sitting on a shelf as a jailbreak was never released for it.
I just realized that PlexConnect can be used with Apple TV 3 in order to stream any kind of media to it (it even reads subs).
Now the thing is that it needs the computer turned on, all the time to act as a plex server.
My question is, does anyone know how to install plex server in the mybook live so that i can stream media to my apple tv3 without the need of having the PC on?
I know MyBookLive can run python scripts but im not very knowledgeable on that.
This is the link for the Plex Connect github. github. com/plexinc/PlexConnect/tree/new-movie-sections
Anyone knows how to do this?
So my 1TB has a bad volume. After the firmware update and the error, I was not able to access any of the files. I've finally given up and removed the hard drive. I have it plugged in via SATA to USB on my Mac. I can see the harddrive, but I can't access it. I've run a few of the suggested softwares like ext2fs, but that hasn't given me access. It could be I'm not overly technical, so I may not know what I'm doing…
That being said I'm thinking my next option is to copy the MBWE image to another external HD, and seeing if I can access the files then. Does that sound like something that might work. If not, any suggestions on what I should do for retreiving my files? I feel like I'm close, but may not be technical enough to figure out the last step.
As a FYI, I called support (first time I'd called them in 4 years of owning the HD). After much troubleshooting, they said I was eligable for a free replacement since I'd never registered the product until that call. So I have a 30 day warranty, and just have to mail them back the old one during that time. They sent me a My Book Live 2TB. I was really suprised. They have a credit card hold on my, so I just have to mail them the old one. Believe it or not support suggest I remove the HD from the case to try and get my information from it. I could try plugging the MBWE HD into the new MBL HD, but getting those cases open is no small task.
I appreciate any help you can offer and the heads up on support replacing the drive helps some other folks out.
Hey,
did someone managed to change the 1TB disk of the original MyBook LIVE (black) with another hdd and make it work as original?
Thanks,
S@
