I don't think this player can stream video. You'd need to have a DLNA player and I do not think this player is one. It has ether net port, but really it's just to connect to the net to get firmware updates, stream netflix and now Vudu (I read). I have this player, and I've tried to steam video. It cannot do that. I found no functions within the player's menu to do anything like that. (I'm connected now, the player to my Uverse router and my PC connected to that router). With no disk in the player, and no USB stick or SD mem card slot, the player only offers "Network" as what can be done with it. If choosing network, you'll only have the available services like netflix or youtube, accuweather..ect. I also tried to connect my USB external Hard drive but this player will not see it..

Hi Craig, Blu-ray Player can play files from Home network via DLNA network.

No problem. Just install the cloud player app. That's the whole point of the cloud. You can access your MP3's from anywhere and from just about anything that can access the web.

There is no web-based GUI to operate the receiver's entertainment functions (playback from sources, volume, input selection, etc). There is a web-based GUI that you get if you type in the unit's LAN IP address, but it only controls a few configuration settings you'll almost never care about. The only way to control the unit over the network for entertainment is to use one of the mobile apps.

I don't think there's a way to stream video from a computer; pretty sure I have heard that from several sources, including the manual. The player just doesn't have software to do that. It seems (for video playback) to require discs that are finalized in DVD, BD or 'avchd' video format; it won't even play videos off the USB drive, which I'm rather disappointed about.

No, you cannot. The player does not have the capacity to perform any other function other than play music. There are no antennae or wifi capability to allow it to take any sort of calls.

There is no Internet capability. It's a bluray/dvd/cd player & also has an sdcard slot & a few other features.There are receivers you can buy with Internet capability. For Netflix, use an Xbox 360 for example.

You need to set up DLNA on your Windows box, then You need a media player that is DLNA compatible

Sorry Nathan, I never had a chance to try it. The player died after a few hours out of the box. I wouldn't recommend this player.

You need an external player with a USB connection, I purchased one for under $40.

I haven't had that exact problem. My only suggestion is to update your player's firmware. The manual tells you how, but really you just connect the player to your internet router with a cable and turn it on. It updates itself and when it's done you can remove the cable. I believe some of the newer disks have new "features" that can confuse the older firmware.
