My Viera Cast stopped working this morning also. No reason. Everything was working fine prior. Passed all connection tests. Could site be down?

It was not working for my son last night (~11PM pst) either. It has probably been down for over 10 hours now. Frustrating.

On the phone with Panasonic now. The first rep tells me that if the network check passes but VieraCast doesn't come up, then the system "might" be down and that I should wait. I'm waiting to talk to a supervisor, since they should surely be able to confirm the status of their own server/system.

Just finished up with Panasonic support. The supervisor was "busy", but the rep confirmed that the VieraCast server is down and I should check back later. I got the impression that it was unplanned maintenance, and that it will be back in hours rather than minutes. Perhaps the spike of Christmas-related logins caused the crash?!

Hello all,I am following the situation at AVS Forums and this was just posted but a insider with Panasonic.. For those waiting for Vieracast to come back: Server is down in Japan, should be restored tomorrow (Panasonic level 2 support).Not sure if I can post links here but here it is: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=17795835#post17795835

Panasonic tech support said it could be up any moment but asked to wait up to 24 hours(as of 2pm 10/27/09 pst). They apologized for the inconvenience and were kind in their response. If anyone notices it up please post.

Thanks for the thread. Just set ours up and was having the same problem. Glad to know I didn't mess something up on installation.
1009456
Same here, worked a couple of days ago but will not work now. Has anybody contacted Panasonic?
1009457
stopped working for me too. I bet the xmas spike caused their servers to fall over. has anyone figured out how to skip the viera cast screen and just go direct to Amazon VOD? hey Amazon, if you're reading this, ask your OEM partners to include a VOD button that skips their crappy software and goes direct to Amazon.

http://www.opendrivers.com/modeldriver/panasonic_dmp-bd75-driver-download.html go here for the only STABLE firmware upgrade 1.19. DO NOT allow it to update the "latest" firmware 1.33. nothing but problems. (this is based on what i have read from researching to buy this player, which i would be willing to buy now that i found the old firmware - i do not own this yet) UPDATE: i have also read that when AFTER you update the firmware, it resets the output to composite (lowest resolution). so if you are doing firmware via: HDMI cable, it may "appear" to be dead or broken once updated. so trying having both cables hooked up and after the new version is installed and your screen turns black, switch your TV input to composite and see if you see something now, then go into your menu and switch your resolution setting back to 1080p. then change your TV input back to HDMI. (i had this problem before on my HDMI dvd player, i was using the composite cables to an old tube TV, and tried the 1080p setting. everything went black and couldn't see anything to change the setting back.)

I tested one of these Sony BDP-S3200, and I found (much to my annoyance) that, while it will connect to A DNLA server (e.g. my NAS box), it will not actually PLAY most of the video files. The bulk of my networked files are in MP4 format, but it says in the user manual that it may not be able to play MP4, MKV, or TS files on a DNLA server. The only video files I found that seemed to consistently work were AVI (XVid) and some WMV.

I just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.

Hey Dave,Would you tell me how to find out which firmware is currently on my player?Thanks.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can get the menu to display (the DMPort menu), but no video or pictures.Interested in any feedback from anyone who has tried this.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

Hi guys,So, I was successful in getting the drivers to work! Now, my question is, can I connect this box directly to a phone jack and be able to use Skype at ALL phones connected at various jacks in my house? If so, which connector on the D-Link box would I use?Thanks!E

Mine worked very intermittently. I was able to get music to come out of it, but not very reliably. Try moving it around. You could also check if there's an update for the firmware for your access point.I ended up sending mine back because the music was constantly pausing.

Hi!1. I have the Micca EP600 media player. This device doesn't have built-in wifi, so I'm not sure if you can play media from network.2. It works perfect with BD3D Iso images!

I recently purchased this model and have been attempting to use AV app and am having nothing but problems, when the app actually connects it will be fine and then for no reason it disconnects and as of now I can not get it to connect.Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think that I had to update it after it was connected or I check to see if there were any up dates before I set it up. Hope this answered what you needed to know. Firmware should be check periodicaly on these devices.

I've used the DWA-125 version with 1.40 Firmware and it works fine for me. I ordered a replacement 125 that arrived with firmware 1.50 and it doesn't work...or the whole thing is broken. Makes me wonder if you can install older firmware on an adapter with newer firmware.

I just got a LG BD390 and hooked it up to a D-Link DIR-655. I could access local network content reliably but the Internet connection was intermittent at best. I upgraded DIR-655 firmware from version 1.21 to 1.32A, disabled SecureSpot, and that fixed all my networking issues with the BD390. Beware: When upgrading the DIR-655 firmware you may lose your configuration. I saved the configuration to a file as recommended, but after the upgrade the router reported errors when trying to restore the saved configuration. I had to manually reconfigure all the router settings, which was a pain but at least now everything works.

Hi, my two cents: I dont think its about the country, to activate it you need to make sure you have an internet connection (not sure the offline process tho), the e-licenser software, and the dongle, then register it, meaning it won't work without all the steps, if you are still uncertain, call these guys below, they are the authorized distributors in your country according to the website: MI products & Nuendo:PROSONIDOHernandez de Giron OE-537Tel.

That is what happened to mine. I tried reconnecting, removing the connection, renewing it and nothing works. Bottom line is that the product does not work as advertised. I recommend that you return it.

I just got home with the Magellan Maestro 4250. It doesn't have my neighborhood in it??? I called the helpline and a guy from what sounded like Pakistan told me I had to get an upgrade to 2.36. I have not figured out how to do that yet. I can not seem to find an opportunity to get this firmware downloaded. Can any one help me. I am on the brink of taking this damn thing back to the store. aj
