Firmware: Is there anyone out there having trouble downloading The Firmware for The Samsung Blu-Ray player?

There are two ways to get the firmware for this unit. The fastest is of course to download it from Samsung.com. However, if you have the model and serial number of your player you can request Samsung send you a disk. It's simply a burned disk with the firmware already on it but it will work just the same. I realize sometimes Samsung tech support leaves something to be desired as far as customer service, but it all depends who you get. Some of the agents are better than others. Most of the agents and supervisors I've dealt with are very nice and helpful, of course you always have the bad apples. Anyway, I do recommend making sure you actually need the firmware before you get it, because if you install firmware you don't need it's my understanding it does more harm than good.

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.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

If you go to this website: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=audiovideo&type;=mp3players&subtype;=flashmemory&model;_cd=YP-P2JCB/XAAthen click on download center, then click on firmware you can download it from there. Make sure you do it in order though!!

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.

I haven't had a problem playing rented Blu Ray discs or DVDs after installing the most current driver. I've heard that several people had issues, but I wonder if it was related to the driver.

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...

I also own a BDP-N460 blu-ray player. At the original setup, after "activating enhanced features", a "registration code" was shown on the screen. Not knowing any better, I did not write down the number, now I wish I had. As was mentioned in an earlier post, this number does not appear again after the initial setup. The first internet service I linked with was Netflix. This has worked very well and has given me no problems. But when I tried to link with Amazon, I found that it was necessary to have the "registration code" that was now unavailable for viewing. I have talked with the techs at Amazon and everything on their side of the "link" is correctly in place for my account to make the link work. I have spent approxiamately 4-5 hours on the phone with Sony to try and find the code that I need, with no result. I have tried numerous things to find this "code" and to get it to show itself, but no luck. Note that the "registration number" (not code) can be found easily under system info as well as MAC address and other information, but this is not the number I need. I am continuing to work this issue but I seem to be at a point that without further information and help from Sony, I feel I'm at a deadend. I have talked to at least six different "techs" at Sony who have tried, but have been unable to help. I hope this can be resolved, as I would very much like to use Amazon as a rental movie supplier. Thanks.

As of right now firmware version 1.51 is available, and netflix appears to be working again. I didn't test anything else, so proceed with caution.

J.F I haven't had any problems lately, however the titles I mentioned above still will not load. I've called Sony but all they wanna say is make sure your firmware is updated. I haven't tried WoO, but Ill try it tonight when I get home. Hopefully its just your disc from Netflix...

Hello. I have not had any problems with the DVD's or Blu-Rays I have bought. It has worked flawlessly every time. Perhaps it is possible to have trouble with homemade discs, but I have not tried any of mine in the player.

Update....I connected the blueray player via ethernet cable to the router. I downloaded the newest firmware via cd-r on my computer and placed it in the player and Behold!!!! after going to menu and going to the network menu for updates, it well ,, updated...which took some 20 or so minutes. I then had to reintroduce the player to the samsung wireless Lan which the player accommodated. I am now up and running netflix, pandora, also utube and blockbuster were added to the configuration. Don't try to waste any more valuable time trying to figure out gateway ping and simply disconnect the Lan and hook the player via ethernet cable or you will never get anywhere.

April 9, 2009: Over 3+ months of mulitple firmware updates (which apparently were successful, but without successful playback of many Blu-Ray discs) I FINALLY got Samsung to email me a shipping label to send my BD-P2500 in for repair. Long story short: It was a defective unit. After 2/12 weeks of "service", Samsung sent me a different unit which now works fine, so far.... (UGH)

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.

That sounds like a problem with your individual unit. My wife got me the Blu-ray edition of Planet Earth for Valentines Day and I've been watching them constantly.....no problems detected...not even the slightest hiccup. Have you loaded the latest firmware patch from Sharp? I loaded it the day I bought my player (a couple months ago). Good luck with getting this working!!
