That represent about 3 minutes of streaming a 720p mkv file from the PC to the WDTV Live. I won't say what the file was but you watched it yourself yesterday.
That I don't know.. Not that it's a problem for me. I just download what I want in the morning (doesn't take long on a Be 20mbps connection) and watch it in the evening from the comfort of the sofa.
Edit - Will post Network graph in a few minutes.
Buy external HD, plug into PC/Mac, transfer media, unplug from PC/Mac, move to WDTV, plug in to WDTV, watch stuff, need more stuff, unplug from WDTV, move to PC/Mac and so on....
Or..
Stream media from PC/Mac to WDTV via ethernet.
Hmmm...
You're right.. Setting up a shared folder(s) and getting the WDTV to detect shared folders is a piece of piss. That took me about 0.25 seconds.
It was the WDTV live insisting on a username and password that was the problem (for lots of people according to Google). Turns out that for people with...
My WDTV Live arrived at lunctime!
It's taken me from 4.30 until a few minutes ago to setup a network share folder and actually get the WDTV to see it but it was worth it! I can sit in comfort on the sofa and browse all the media files on my gaming rig in the spare room.

I'm really tempted to buy one myself.
Re: Video playback on Xbox360
That WD TV Live certainly does look tempting.
Then again I'm tempted to buy one of these - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/182588
ION chipset which handles mkv and every other hi-def format that can be thrown at it. Plus it has the advantage of being able to watch...
I had an Xbox 360 but that was years ago so I've no idea what's changed since (if anything) but is it possible to stream hi-def video files from a PC (via ethernet) to a 360 for playback on a TV? I'm thinking specifically Matroska/MKV files.
For those unaware New Egg is probably the biggest PC/Computer retailer in the states.
The story starts when an unsuspecting customer orders a load of parts to build his new system - http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=636484

Pre-ordered my copy from EA Store and pre-loaded it yesterday. It wouldn't let me play as there's as a message came up saying it wasn't released yet in my country.
Tried again this morning and the game works 3 days early!!
chkdsk /f
That should give you the option to run chkdsk next time you start the PC (I.E before it reaches Windows). The read only message appears because you are running chkdsk within Windows.
