I saw a post that says you need to update the firmware for some of the new movies to play including Dark Night.

I had this same problem, too. put a couple of movies on there and it was almost painful to try to watch. I don't think this device works very well for videos/movies. :/ I doubt the hardware is good enough to provide a proper, synced playback.

Perhaps you need firmware to play or disc is defective. To find out play disc on someone else's blu ray player if it doesn't then you know it's the disc.

I got the computer for my mom, and she does not use it for movies, so I can't help you. Sorry!

I have only played regular movies successfully ..it would not play DVDs which I converted from tape to DVD.. Vod or mpg format

I don't know if your device is compatible. If it says it is then try putting your device in airplane mode. With my Galaxy S 4 the video would start and stop about every five minutes or so. When I read someone suggest airplane mode, I tried it and that worked for me. Movies play back fine now.

I had never tried to play movies, so I just put in a bluray and it didn't play, and then I put in a regular dvd and it did play... so it doesn't play blu-ray

Never had that problem.. I did not update firmware due to me wanting to not have the crappy cineV junk on it. Are you sure the firmware update is not the reason? How was it playing before that update? If it was playing ok before then I would try to download the firmware again if you are able to.

It should be able to, but it does come with the region unset. To properly play movies, you do have to set the region.

You can most definitely play movies on it, I convert everything into .avi files though and noticed that it cannot take full HD, like the very large resolutions even if I thought it would but the lower ones like 480 it can take. But that wasn't a problem for me, there's a free software online you can reduce the size of the movies with. I haven't tried mp4 but the box says it would play. Good luck!

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.

I have been able to play .mov, .avi, .mkv .jpg and mp3 files.So far I haven't found any video files that it won't play.It has played on the TV and any computer connected to my network.

It is a little difficult to change the DVDs, but I have always been able to without a problem. I have not used an SD card yet for it, so I do not know about if it will play them or not.

Mine did play Netflix movies. You may need to unistall and reinstall the Netflix app. Make sure your flash player is working.

Go into your settings and you'll have to make a lot of changes to give it a traditional movie picture. I had a samsung and my 70 sharp and had same problems but it's actually a quick fix

It is not compatible with Cinema Now. This player is meant to stream media on your network or on a hard drive that you attach directly to it. I hope this helps!
