Will this thing work with a modern Sony blu-ray player? I'd like to be able to load content on this drive and plug it into my player's USB port.

Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device. Do a simple test on any thumb drive you have. Load a file or two on it and plug it in. You can also check the player "Supported" file types. It should really specify if it can (or cannot) play USB content... This drive is generic, the effect would be the same on any USB storage device. If your Sony player can't play USB content it does not matter WHAT device you got, it is not going to play... Best of luck! Also mention what model player you have (or want to get) someone might know specific to that device (they are all different). I have a Sony player and could not tell you if it does (or does not) play from the USB connection (never tried)

You should check the manufacturers info as to whether or not your sony blue ray can actually handle a stand alone External HD

I have a WD external hard drive that I use to play movies/music on my sony blu-ray player.

I have used it with my Dish Network to store movies so I believe it would work for what you want to use it.

Sorry, can't help. I put new batteries in mine and it worked with the blu ray player perfectly.

Though there are various types of smart Sony Blu-ray players on the market, first check if the Blu-ray is internet ready or have a usb port for wifi. If the player does have one or the other, D-link would be great for it. The reason would be, the D-link is a wireless wifi adapter. It would let you connect to your network, instead connecting with cables. I loved this thing, but daughter and husband needed it for their old computer with no wifi on board. Hopes this helps.Thank you, for asking.November

I bought a sony blu ray player with netflix capability, but apparently I need to buy a usb wireless LAN adapter to be able to connect the player to the net and pick up netflix. Will this adapter work for that?

Hi there, there is no sort of manual and should work immediately as it did with my blu ray player. I hope this helps, and if it's the wrong one, sent it back and hopefully you find the correct one

To my knowledge the PS4 (assuming PlayStation 4) will work with this USB Flash drive however the PS4 doesn't support external media at this time.

i'm not sure....i have an old home theater system and i could not get it to work with a blu-ray player i got for xmas...

I use mine sometimes in Win8 so it should. Double check that Windows has BluRay playing capability built-in from a software perspective. I think it does but wouldn't say I'm 100%. The drive itself will work just fine though.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

Sorry for the delay but I would suggest it should work with any mini plug (headphones) jack. I presume most if not all blu rays have such. I use it with mine and it is fine.

I had absolutely no luck with this drive. I plugged it in to a USB port on my PC and my home theatre system and used it as a thumb drive, but I could never get the "player" portion of the drive to play. Maybe mine was faulty (?) It's in my junk drawer. It works fine as a drive but I could not get any of the buttons to work at all nor did anything show up on the screen. If you haven't purchased this, don't. If you have, I'm sorry.

Hello Sergio, it should work with TV and Blu-rays. I use mine with my Samsung SmartTv and it reads the drive just fine. I would suggest reformatting the drive.

It will read Blu-ray discs. Specifically, what shows up in my device manager is an "Optiarc BD RW BD-5750L", the specs of which indicate that it might be able to actually write blu-rays as well, but I have not confirmed this and I can't guarantee you'd get the same drive. It can read/write DVDs.

I cannot specifically say that a "USB Player" will be recognized. I plugged in a thumb drive and it worked. I have also plugged in an external hard drive through a "Blac X" (USB) and it works flawlessly. I assume that any standard USB device will be recognized and therefore should work. I read the first comment about lousy product and service. That has not been my experience. I emailed a question about using thumbnail displays and received a prompt reply the following day that addressed, and answered, my specific question - it was not a generic automated response.

thanks for the info, it works for me. Now I have to find one for the Sony Blu Ray.

Nope. This adapter was designed for Micro SATA connections. Full size drives use SATA connections. USB would also be too slow/not enough power to run a Blu Ray Drive.

While I have never tried to use it with Blu Ray Player, it does have an HDMI cable port. If your Blu Ray Player uses an HDMI cable, it may well work. I cannot positively say that is the case though.
