Blu ray needs update

Mar 23, It is the 2-disc Digital Copy edition. I believe it was released on Dec 9, We got it right after it originally came out on Blu-Ray, so it definitely isn't the 3-disc version that came out last year. If I wait a moment, the disc starts playing anyway, and I can dismiss the dialog box. I'm on my second player - the first was a Samsung, the newer one is the same LG drive you have - and I got the error message on both, so I figure it's a bit of a glitch in PDVD. Sorry to ask a dumb question, but are you sure that the disc doesn't go ahead and play if you wait a moment or two?

Mar 25, Quote: It is the 2-disc Digital Copy edition. Please visit your blu-ray player's manufacturers website and follow their instructions to update your blu-ray player. Twentieth Century Fox and MGM are not responsible for the content or practices of manufacturers websites.

Each manufacturer controls and is responsible for its own website. So that got me to wondering what's going on. Does anyone know?

I worry that these blu-rays that won't play and that give the red warning message are somehow checking to confirm that a blu-ray player has perhaps a certain level of copy protection. Or maybe something worse, like when it says to update your blu-ray player it'll add copy protection that won't play my backups.

I'm not finding a good explanation anywhere and thought perhaps some of the good folks here on VideHelp might know. I hope it's not an attempt to make old BD players Cinavia sabe. I have not seen that message on my Cinavia free BD player yet?

LG BD Originally Posted by LloydS. Some disc has "flagged" the player as suspect, so now it must phone home to regenerate proper keys. If the latter is still OK, that should not occur to "unencrypted" discs. DOES the player still play the disc after showing the message? Look in your settings and see if there is some setting for firmware updates warnings. If there is, disable it and try again. If you cannot play that disc, then make yourself a back up and play it so you can.

You were on the right track, just use a right media player etc. It will take you something less than 1hour, popcorn gets a bit cold but heck Personally I found it quite offensive to get this message using standard Blu-Ray player that suppose to be a guarantee for flawless playback What brand and model player do you have? Can you name some of the titles that show that message and won't play? Lately I've been playing all my original BD 2d and 3d on the PS3 with the latest firmware with no problems but if I own any of the same titles I'll test them on my older 2D only Seiki.

There's not much to do but then I can't do much anyway. The blu ray producers must be loving this. The update to our Samsung bricked our player. It is totally unresponsive, and there is no support. The only option is to replace it with anything but another Samsung.

First, our Samsung TV would shut off or turn on all on its own at random times, then this bluray player is bricked. So glad I did not get their exploding phone. The last firmware update available is dated Systems cannot play any new movies, DVD or blurry. No useful responses from Sony! Technology is not really good technology if it requires this much maintenance…. Does Pioneer have recent updates that I can download to a flash drive and perhaps install that way???

This is Oct. I believe this is a model… and they stopped updating the firmware after two years. Bruce — Thanks for the update. Sorry for any difficulties you have experienced. Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens a lot with firmware updates, and Panasonic is not the only manufacturer to have these issues. This whole upgrading thing is absurd.

It is totally stupid and will hurt blu-ray sales. Who ever heard of a continually changing format? I have a blu ray BDV-E and a pioneer blu ray XV-BDW Both read as follows The available BD-live update cannot be downloaded due to local storage not been available Please see your player manual for details on how to add storage, this is all Greek to me, what does means, help please.

Blu-ray is the worst technology. First one Samsung, second one Toshiba. I would not buy this technology again no matter how great the picture. Firmware updates have destroyed the machine in both cases. Came with Firmware 1. Notice that you stated that Panasonic had excellent firmware updates. The latest firmware available is almost a year and a half old 1. We contacted them about this an got a case number. Netflix stated that they routinely upgrade their security and this was probably the problem as most firmware is updated usually at least every 6 month.

Netflix also stated that they would be happy to do 3-way phone call with Panasonic over this issue. We contacted Panasonic about 2 days ago and they said they would look into it.
