What streaming internet player should I use with this? (to stream movies)

I have mine set up with an Apple TV and an Xbox One. Both are great for streaming media. I have also had it set up with a Roku, but I have since moved that to another TV.

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

A Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player should play what's on your Android on your TV. Right now $25 to $35 on Amazon. No wire connection. Must have WiFi.

wifi lets you connect to online streaming services like netflix, hulu, or amazon prime. however, i would not recommend that you use this player. it shows a disconcerting tendency to lock up. a cheaper solution, and possibly a less frustrating one, would be to buy a blu-ray that has no connectivity to play your disks, and an amazon fire stick to stream your online media...

Amazon prime is on it. The only apps are from the google play store. I presume you cld done load it their. But honestly once you get some good web sites the google chrome put this player ahead of the rest. No need for any paid subscritions.

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which works great.

I don't think there's a way to stream video from a computer; pretty sure I have heard that from several sources, including the manual. The player just doesn't have software to do that. It seems (for video playback) to require discs that are finalized in DVD, BD or 'avchd' video format; it won't even play videos off the USB drive, which I'm rather disappointed about.

It depends on what is important to you. If streaming movies in important to you I suggest the BDP-103. The BDP-83 does not have streaming capability built in. However, you can connect it to a router but then the money you save purchasing the 83 will be spent purchasing a router. I suggest that you call OPPO. They are extremely helpful and will not try to sell you something that you don't need. I must say that OPPO makes an excellent player. Don't be surprised of the weight. The case is made of metal which makes it heavier than most players on the market. Plus OPPO players are made in USA. I have two OPPO blu-ray players and I couldn't be happier.

Use this tablet to stream netflix as well. Had no issue streaming as long as the wifi signal was strong.

It has Netflix, but it rarely works. It constantly gives an error message. I now have a Samsung and I highly recommend that brand. LG's customer service is terrible too. I basically have a brand new, useless LG player.

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.

Netflix, amazon and vudu. With some upgrades you might be able to get pandora

You can access you tube and a few other. Services, not Netflix or Amazon. It is terrific at playing video files from a hard drive or streamed from your base computer. You can insert a hard drive inside of it as well as plug in 2 other hard drives and a flash drive. If you want to access netflix, amazon, spot iffy, etc., your best bet is roku 3 which is the most perfect device ever made for streaming video, music, or anything. There is no competition. I have them all, trust me!

You can connect to the Internet if you have a wireless router. Go to settings and follow prompts. You'll need to enter your IP address. Thus it should stream movies. I don't use it. I can stream movies on my Smart TV, so I just use the BD-F5100 for playing Blue Ray DVDs.

Netflix, Xfinity, amazon prime all work fine for me. Probably the other people have network issues and not the devices fault. I also play tons of different video types using my local network. (using Es File Explorer)

We have used our dvd player as our streaming unit. Our tv did not have streaming capabilities. Hope this was helpful.
