WDTV doesn't support Windows Media Pro codec (something along that line). Is that a lossless audio codec?

Nope it's still lossy.

There is WMA Lossless though, which is lossless hence the name.

I've never seen or downloaded any movie/tv show using either of those codecs, personally. Literally everything I have plays perfectly, audio & all, through the WDTV.

I think that's the only codec that i've encountered that my WDTV doesn't play.

WDTV has an excellent, quick, and easy to use interface but it's just a list, it doesn't have movie pictures (which I actually much prefer as there is less clutter and I can see more at once). It follows whatever format the content is in on your hard drive, and sorts it alphabetically & numerically.

That is not true, you can get a movie thumbs by default, it is in the settings, have to have proper file naming for folder art in the folders to get the pictures.

And beecue, yes WDTV live can have a very similar interface as the popcorn hour, along with all of the imdb info ect, but it will require you to flush a hacked bios into the device, and you have to use thumgen to generate all of that info (very easy), doesn't automatically do it yet. The scene for wdtv is pretty big, so there are alot of crazy things you can do with it. Popcorn is nice and I looked into it, but I needed way too many of them to make it less expensive, might still get the popcorn for the basement when it is all done.

I have a question about something related to this. I have a ps3 media server on my macbook and whenever I try to stream movies wirelessly to play on my TV through the PS3, they are always laggy as hell. So I always end up storing files on my external hard drive from the computer and watching on tv. Anyone know what I can do to get rid of this problem?
