The 87 doesn't have amazon support. You'd have to get the 220, or above for amazon support.

Have you tried plugging a flash drive into the player? I was unable to stream BD-Live content until I did this - the flash drive provides a storage place for the data.

I have only 2 words for you....Return it. This blu ray player is a piece of garbage. It did the same thing to me. Mine never even connected to the internet. So after trying for 2 hours I gave up and just returned it. I should've read the reviews before buying it. They would have warned me to stay away.

My suggestion is to return it. It did the same thing to me. So I returned it and bought a Sony blu ray, much much better. Returning with Amazon is easy.

You can do Netflix and YouTube, but NOT Amazon Prime, unfortunately. I was disappointed, too, hoping there would be an Amazon Widget for that. Not yet : (

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

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...

Sounds like a simple question but I have tried out so many products I will need to check. I think it is at the lake house. I can watch amazon on my Panasonic Blu Ray player and on on Roku, I also use slingbox so I just watch my tv at home at the lake. I know I bought it but drawing a blank right now. I will get back with you.

According to this link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200238960), looks like you cannot play movies that you purchased from Amazon on this unit.

4/10/2013 WedAs I understand it, and I may stand to be corrected, you cannot access Amazon prime. My resaons for purchasing it, was to access Pandora. Now Pandora is not free any morewith the software that is on the blue ray. I like the blue ray player but sort of dis-appointed with the Pandora software on it compared to my HP DV7 Pavilion laptop, I would prefer the software that HP provides for Pandora. Anyways, you may want to check again with someone else regarding connecting with Amazon Prime. The blue ray player does what it is supposed to do and I am pleased with it, the 3D is amazing. 4/10/2013 WedAs I understand it, and I may stand to be corrected, you cannot access Amazon prime.

It will not stream Amazon Prime. I sent it back and got a Sony Blu-Ray Disc DVD player.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

I'm pretty sure it's related to something Amazon did. I've tried watching Amazon Instant Video on a couple computers in the past week and when I went to play the video, they both said, "Updating player..." I hope it isn't broken for good; I use Amazon Video more on my TouchPad than on any other device.

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

Thanks BlueDemon.I have actually been following the thread on AVSForum since it began. While there are some reports of loose HDMI connectors, muting, etc; it really isn't much (actual content-wise vs. wishing/hoping-wise). Amazon had a yellow note on their HT-CT500 page for a while saying that no orders were being taken because of Amazon customer-reported issues. I was curious to see what the actual issues were (causing a suspension of sales), in case any of those customers returned here.Thanks~Bill

You can see and browse, but so far I always get corrupt video errors when trying to stream anything. Works fine on my PS3, but would still like to see it work on the BluRay downstairs too!
