Third log out and log in worked. Thanks for the help again!

#43

Login is only for remote access. If you are at home you should not be using the login option.

#44

Without logging in the DVR does not show up

#45

I think im really close to getting this doneā€¦however (after copy/paste of the command ā€œwget -O /tmp/channels_dvr.bin https://channels-dvr.s3.amazonaws.com/wd/WDMyCloud_ChannelsDVR_1.0.5.bin upload_apkg -d -s 1 -p /tmp/channels_dvr.binā€

I get - ā€œUsage: wget [OPTION]ā€¦ [URL]ā€¦ā€

I am using SSH via Putty

#46

Make sure you run each command separately. First this one:

wget -O /tmp/channels_dvr.bin https://channels-dvr.s3.amazonaws.com/wd/WDMyCloud_ChannelsDVR_1.0.5.bin

Then this one:

upload_apkg -d -s 1 -p /tmp/channels_dvr.bin

#47

Thanks!!! I got the file to Download, but after running ā€œupload_apkg -d -s 1 -p /tmp/channels_dvr.binā€

I get

ā€œ-bash: upload_apkg: command not foundā€

Hmmm weird.

Try:

/usr/sbin/upload_apkg -d -s 1 -p /tmp/channels_dvr.bin

#50

WDFAKENAME:~# /usr/sbin/upload_apkg -d -s 1 -p /tmp/channels_dvr.bin
-bash: /usr/sbin/upload_apkg: No such file or directory

No luckā€¦

#51

Weird itā€™s like they got rid of that command.

Does this mean mycloud home doesn't work at all?

#56

If you have the right model, it will work. That is what I started with, but it was too slow for me.

#57

Thanks. I had already returned it lol... I am just using for live tv. I will worry about DVR later. Now I cant get it to stop trying to access that drive so I cant watch anything

#58

Uncheck DVR box in the Web UI.

#59

Got this installed and its working.
The MYCloud is on firmware 2.41.116 But there is an update available to 5.11.112
Do I dare update? Anyone working with 5.11.112?
