Nextflix BD Live Hacked: Can I still watch a Blu Ray movie?
1017287
There is one more way it's called a hard reset by Samsung, you hold down the off button and un plug the player at the same time, keep holding the off button for two min. plug your player back in and everything will be back to just like it was when you first taken it out of the factory's box. I now stay away from that bd live I think that is how they get in to hack. I hope those a-holes toys break.

I believe there is an amazon instant video app now available for SmartHub. So. You would connect the blu ray player to your network, download updates, install amazon instant video app, then you can watch amazon tv through the bluray's "Smart" features.*Based on Charlie's response, perhaps the streaming app was never released for the blu ray player.. As he suggested though you may want to look into adding a Roku - I bought a refurb roku 2 xs for 48 bucks shipped and it's great. Roku 3 is not worth it if you're mainly looking to stream content*

Yes, you can. Process may not be simple though.Look here:http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Convert_Your_HD_DVDs_to_Blu-Rayhttp://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=155834

"your bd player's netflix keys have been hacked" and it said I could no longer play Netflix movies on my player. So I'm going to just post how I fixed it since the answers were spread out on this thread. I can't say each step is necessary, but it worked. I have the newest firmware.Got same problem. Upgrade firmware and found this solution online that worked for me:1. Deactivated the player at Netflix's website. Under "Your Account" ...2. Hard reset by pressing fast-forward on the player for five seconds with no disc.3. Attempt to play a Netflix movie (red "A" button on main screen).4. Perform the regular activation process for Netflix.5. Reenter Time Zone, Time, etc. settings in player.

I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D. My BDP-BX57 gives me the message that it cannot play 3D movies with this player. Why did I buy this 3D player again, not to mention the glasses, the DVD, and the 3D compatible TV? Sony's web site indicated that a "future" firmware update will enable 3D DVD playback. WHEN is this going to occur? And does SONY believe I would have purchased this player if I knew the product was not a functional 3D player, despite it's labeling? So I guess now I have to wait months for the product to be corrected, or spend more money hoping the next product won't be fraudulently marketed.Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray Disc Player, 3D-ready with built-in WI-FI

I rent from Netflix Blu-Ray/DVD and from the Public Library. I have not had any trouble with playback. Well let me step back a bit. I was using CyberLink PowerDVD 10 when I first purchased the Buffalo and I did have some trouble. I upgraded to CyberLink 14 and had no trouble at all after that. However, let me give you a heads up on something else I discovered. "Endpoint Security" by Bitdefinder and I imagine some other antivirus programs will constantly read/search the Buffalo Drive if you don't disable that. I didn't know how to do it. My Cable Provider, who I installed Bitdefinder from addressed and solved that issue. All-In-All I say the Buffalo MediaStation is a pretty good unit.

Yes, you will need additional software to play the Blu-Ray format. Google Mac Blu-Ray player and you will find both paid and free software for doing so.

If all questions except you need a software that I had to buy an Internet to see the blue ray movies. In my case I have a mac maybe for another operating system like windows is easier to solve this.

I just found this posting because I had the same problem last night with a rental copy of "Wanted" on blu-ray. It's strange because Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (the only other two I've watched in the short time I've had this player), have the bonusview option (I thought) but didn't have this problem...So anyone figure out how to get rid of it??

There is no software. Its plug and play. You can use window OS to burn to and read your non-movie blu-rays. If you are talking about a Blu-Ray ripper software for movies, make sure it can remove/handle the security stuff otherwise it won't copy it and you could have playing problems if your monitor doesn't support security stuff.

It doesn't have to be. However, blu-ray publishers change their copy protection every so often. Samsung will have an update for your player so discs with the newer copy protection scheme will play - but you need to connect your player to the internet so it can retrieve this firmware.This is just the way blu-ray players work - you'll run into this with any brand player.Maybe get a long CAT5 patch cord and just plug it in when you run into a disc that won't play.Also, this player might have an update from usb / sd card function. Not sure about that.
