Can't get BD-Live to work! Ok, I'm stumped. My player is hardwired to our network router and it always grabs the latest firmware updates just fine. But I can't get connected to anything using BD-Live. No matter what disc I pop in there, I always get messages saying that there is no internet connection. I checked all the settings I can think of and they appear correct and I also ran the network diagnostic and it came back ok as well. I'm stumped! Any ideas? Can't get BD-Live to work!

I have an insignia bd player and the problem was I didn't have a USB stuck into the back. I hope this will help someone.

Under BD/DVD viewing settings there is a setting to allow BD internet connection. Not shown in manual.

I'm having the same problem. The allow internet connection is set to ALLOW and I do have the SONY recommended external memory

You have to put a jump drive in there, in the back. * 2GB seems to be the best idea, minimum. * But you can't use just any jump drive, because the slot is deeper and more narrow than you typically find on electronics (thanks a lot, Sony). * And (as if that wasn't annoying enough) I just got one to fit, but the 350 still won't recognize it. * Look at the owners manual, and there is a page about external memory where they suggest a Sony product by a specific serial number. I think that's what I am gonna try.* At the end of the day, the BD-Live content looks to be a lot of nonsense, but I've gotten sorta Ahab/Moby Dick about this task, and will pursue it to pointless depths. Good luck.

Unless you've unchecked this at start up, BD internet connect is a default. Even so, I still experience the same same "no connection" message.

I figured out what my problem was, I had to disable the firewall off my router and then it was able to connect. I enabled the firewall back again once I was connected and I haven't had any problems so far, but I haven't turned off the player yet, so it might do it again. But at least now I know what the problem is and how to fix it.

Having same problem with netflix.. Is anyone having an issue with losing network connection? WhenI power my BD65 off and then back on it will not connect to vieracast.. When I try to test connection I keep getting failed message.. Can only get connection back by resetting the player (owners manual page 29), only to lose it again when power is cycled off and on..

Good afternoon. I have updated the firmware to the most recent edition and am able to play all bluray disc so far with the exception of 'underworld rise of the lycans. We really would like to be able to watch this movie. We have tried two different disc. Any thoughts?

I gifted the bd 390 to my brother and he couldn't set it up either with his belkin router. So tried the static IP but that didn't work either. I then moved the bd390 into the dmz (with static IP) n it worked. So just keep in mind that there might be different ways of doing this. Funny thing is that even without these settings it was connecting to services like YouTube, it was only the Netflix app that wouldn't connect.e

My Samsung BD-P1500 was delivered yesterday. I hooked up via ethernet cable and updated to the newest firmware. The unit can now play DIVX as I have just tested it with a movie running from a CDR.You can download to lastest firmware from the Samsung site and install via Disc, USB or online using the LAN/Ethernet port.Hope that helpsScott.

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.

Ok so all I need to do is connect the player to the internet and get the update?? Will that solve the problem?

The people having problems didnt take the time to update to the newest and correct firmware. Even the one I ordered had issues when I first tried it. After the update and applying the correct in game settings, everything worked perfectly and continues to this day. I hope this helps.

Yes, I don't use BD-Live either but my BD player has an ethernet connection for receiving automatic firmware updates. When it started loading, an update to the BD was downloaded. I put the flash memory in last night and had no problem watching Crank 2. Who knows, other movies in the future could have the same memory requirements.

Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA. The problem is the same as I have with my PS3. There's no decent way to skip forward and backward.What I don't know is the cause. I don't expect a solution, and I know the problem is at the server end, but I don't know why the problem exists there.The solution to my problem was to build my own box for about $200. I now have something that's bigger than the WD, but it runs Windows 7 and gives all the streaming options I need, including using Media Center directly. It's not a solution for everybody, and the cost reflected using an HD and optical drive I already had. Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA.

My BD player also requires semi frequent unplugging to resolve freezing or disc loading fine, like getting menu prompts to work, froze. And cannot manually or remotely open tray or turn power off/on. Recently ONLY my Star Trek season sets did this in addtion to NOT recognizing the discs or load properly or at all.....so I did a factory reset and it resolved issue.

I just had this Modem hooked up. I have yet to get my Xbox live to work. It seems that when I try to get the DNS it always fails. Also my wife said her laptop was disconnected from the internet, when I tried to connect to Xbox live. I noticed that the Modem itself had to be reset.I was able to connect with my PS3 to the Playstation Network, but that was another story.

to try and offer some advice: i just upgraded from the BDP83 to the BDP93, i have only watched 1 Blu on the new one (BDP93) but was amazed at the pic quality i had the BDP83 for almost a year before upgrading and the only issue i had was watching LOTR extended versions on DVD and would see a 'hiccup" every so often - i believe this was where they added the extended footage in - otherwise i NEVER had a single issue with my player with an Oppo or PS3 OR whatever bluray player you have or decide to buy i always make sure the firmware is updated to resolve any 'issues" you may have best of luck to you

Update: PROBLEM RESOLVED! Do you ever have those moments where you need to shove your shoe in your mouth? Well...I just did. I figured this out on my own. So glad I refused to send the BD390 in to LG for repair. Anyways, if you have this problem with any Blue Ray, try going to your home page &gt; Setup &gt; Network &gt; BD-LIVE Connection, select "Prohibited." NOW try playing the Blu-ray. Band of Brothers has internet interaction. If you do not have a good internet connection, especially if you're wireless, then your Blu-ray will not play until it connects. Hope this helps!

I have since received the cd-rom from Panasonic to upgrade my DMP-BD35 blue-ray player and that solved the problem. It is now properly upgraded with the Version.7 firmware upgrade. If there are others having a similar problem upgrading their firmware, contact Panasonic.

The update can be found here:http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-P3600 (Scroll down to "Manuals and Downloads" section). The firmware file and update instructions are included. You can also connect your player to a router or modem and update it through the menu. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S
