yes the WD live or live plus wil play a blu ray iso. But to play a
blu-ray iso I have to be using a quick USB hard drive plugged into
one of the WDs two USB ports... not streaming from the network. BD
ripped to mkv or HD recorded TS stream is fine across the network. I
have a WD live and it connects to the LAN at 100 which may be why it
can't stream a blu-ray iso across the network. I don't know if they
upgraded the plus to a 1000, if they do I will probably buy one.
