Western Digital WDC NAS OS 5

Post by nickk »

WDC recently released OS 5 for select NAS models. After upgrading you need to install the new HDHomeRun DVR app package for WDC OS 5.

Approach 1 - use the updated NAS Installer:

1) Download and install the latest HDHomeRun software:
https://download.silicondust.com/hdhome ... indows.exe

2) Run HDHomeRun Setup, switch to the DVR tab, and click NAS Install.

3) Double click on the icon for your NAS and run through the process to install.

Approach 2 - download the app package for your NAS and install via the "Apps" tab of the NAS device webpage:

Did you download and install the v5 OS HDHomeRun NAS package afterwards? I literally just finished this upgrade (EX 4100), and that was the only manual action I needed to take; everything else was quite seamless here.

I have not updated my MyCloud devices to NAS OS5; I saw the last time I looked too many issues about it on the Internet.

However, I see my HDHomerun DVR that is running on my NAS is version 20200225. I am behind.

I don't want to break my system but imagine it would be good to update this version to the newest.

I believe that is 20210624.

Can someone tell me the link for what I should download and how to update it on my NAS. MyCloud only has an uninstall.

I downloaded hdhomerun_windows_20210720 but I am not sure that is what I want in terms of installing it on my NAS.

Everything else is current.

We should have packages for both OS 3 and OS 5: https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/dvr:nas:wd

The Windows NAS installer will detect the correct OS and install the right version.

Hey there!

I have an HD Homerun Prime with a WD MyCloud Personal NAS running My Cloud OS 3 for DVR. It's been running fine for me and I don't currently have any issues, however, I've been informed by WD that support for My Cloud OS 3 is expiring. Can I upgrade my WD Personal to My Cloud OS 5 and still use it for DVR?

I think I tried upgrading my WD firmware a while ago (probably 1-2 years ago) and I couldn't get it to work. So I had to downgrade back to My Cloud OS 3.

Cheers,
Jonathon
