Free Blu-ray Player

I just Googled "Samsung Bluray http disabled"' and found this interesting link on another forum. Looks like either manually configuring a DNS server address on the Blu-Ray player or manually configuring a static IP, gateway address and DNS server address works.
I have a Samsung Bluray BD E5300. It used to work fine for 4 years. Then one day it decided it didn't want to connect to the internet anymore. I have been online for over six months looking for a solution. It is the final connection 'Internet Service Test' that is having the 'HTTP port is disabled' message. I have tried every 'trick' out there. It is not the router I have come to realize. The player was originally connected to one service provider with its router and now it is connected to a different one in a different town. So I believe it is the actual player that is the culprit. Any new suggestions out there? I'm just about ready to toss it out and buy a new one.
Finally!!!! The firmware update did the trick. After trying two different service providers, I came to the conclusion it was the player and not the router. I hope everyone else out there sees this who thinks it is an IP address issue.
This is strange. The OP posted their message a few hours ago. My Samsung BD-57C just started doing the same thing about an hour ago. As soon as it receives power, it starts clicking and buzzing as if it's trying to load a disc. Nothing is displayed on the TV. I changed batteries in the remote. The remote will open the drawer oncei per it on with the remote, but the player closes it in two seconds and starts making noise again. If I insert a disc, I'll hear the player start reading the disc, but then it starts the clicking and buzzing. At no point will anything be displayed on the TV screen. I unplugged the player for ten minutes. While it's unplugged, I depressed the power button for 30 seconds. As soon as I plug it in, it immediately starts making noise. Any ideas? It's about 2 years old. I've maybe used it about 20 times.
Thank you,
I am having the same issue with two BD-J5700 blu Ray players. I noticed it on one last night. I replaced it an identical spare model this morning. The display looked normal at first, but it asked me to do an online software update. After that the second player also started recycling on and off infinitely. How can they be fixed if they stay on for only a second each time???
The Sony UBP-X700 is at the cutting edge of 4K Blu-ray technology, thanks in part to its Dolby Vision compatibility. Throw in a bunch of streaming app services, and this Sony Blu-ray player rewards you with a solid performance at a reasonable price.
If you want to spend the bare minimum on a Blu-ray player, then the Sony BDP-S3700 should be your choice. It offers a lot of features for little money, but as it's only 1080p you'll miss out on advanced features like 4K resolution picture quality and Dolby Vision.
The Xbox Series X is the only current Xbox model that accepts optical discs. It can play DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays, in addition to Xbox game discs. It can also be used with standard IR remotes, unlike the PS5. Note that the cheaper Xbox Series S does not have a disc slot.
The high-end PS5 (the $500 model) includes an optical drive that accepts DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays, in addition to PS4 and PS5 game discs. The cheaper PS5 Digital Edition does not have a disc slot.
All Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray players are designed to be backward compatible with your existing DVDs. Most will also upscale DVD to 1080p (or 4K), which will mean a boost in image quality when played on a flatscreen TV.
Most of the time, this depends on the USB host interface/Sony BD player. Besides making sure the file system is supported, also make sure the USB host interface meets the USB3.0 standard and provides enough power output to spin up an external USB storage. Also make sure you are using the cable that came with your Passport. Just quickly googled and looks like there are some discussions regarding this on the Sony forum.

The most likely reason the My Passport Wireless Pro is not recognized by the Sony Blu-Ray player is because the My Passport Wireless Pro is GPT (GUID) Partitioned which the Sony Blu-Ray does Not Support. (it only supports MBR)
The following may cause the Blu-ray Disc player not to recognize the external hard disk drive (HDD).The Blu-ray Disc player can only read the first partition of the external HDD. The supported partition system is MBR. GPT is not supported.
I see some good people are trying to help, but you went about this the wrong way. You should have asked for help before you embarked on this task. Sometimes a little bir of knowledge can get one in trouble. You are also lucky the Blu-ray did not trash your valuable MPWP. Good luck with this.
Curious . . . what kind of harm do you think might have been caused to the Passport Pro by merely plugging it into a Blu-Ray USB port (which is there to connect external devices) to see if the drive could be recognized?
First of all, (according to WD) a MPWP is not designed to plug into a TV or a similar device such as any kinds of DVD players. The only thing a MPWP is designed to plug into is a computer so data can be read from it to stream to devices that can display a movie, pictures or play music, and of course, do disk maintenance (like adding/removing files).on the MPW.
I have never plugged my MPW into ANYTHING but my computers. Nevertheless, I can enjoy my MPW media files on many devices, including mobile devices and on my TV You need to learn about the many ways this can be done.
All due respects Joey, but I did not make this up, nor is it my own opinion. I basically quoted something an experienced WD Staff member wrote in the WD forum when asked if it was OK to connect his MPW to his TV. Also, in the user manual there is no mention of connecting an MPW to anything except the charger or a computer. So, I do not stand corrected.
Picture adjustments
Select 2018 or newer Sony TV models have a Netflix Calibrated Mode so you can watch Netflix in the originally intended picture quality. Netflix Calibrated Mode can be turned on by going to your TV settings, selecting modes, and then turning the setting on.
To connect your Sony TV, Blu-ray player, or home theater system to your Netflix account, make sure you are on the Home screen and select the option below that best describes your device.
Keep trying to program the blu-ray player and it keeps putting the Sony TV on the av1 setting. I need a code for the blu-ray so it goes in and not the Sony TV KDL46EX621. I have had more problems setting the your remotes than the Dish remotes. What is the deal? I have had Directv less than a month and not very happy so far!
I need to find an external blu-ray player that will work with an iMac 2021, that won't require an software to be installed, since these new iMacs have the same amount of storage as my iPad. if you can help, I need a brand and model suggestions.
You can't use a 24" M1 iMac as a hardware monitor for another device. So it's not a matter of buying a Blu-Ray or 4K Blu-Ray player designed for the home theater market, plugging it into the iMac, and calling it a day.
You can attach a DVD or Blu-Ray drive as a data storage accessory. Then, to play movies, you need software that is designed for that purpose. Macs once came with DVD drives and a DVD player application. It appears that the application has "gone missing." They never came with Blu-Ray drives or Blu-Ray player applications.
I just want a blu-ray External player to watch movies.. I don't need to burn anything, and after updating my xbox to digital, I have no way to watch Blu-ray Disc. I can't understand why apple won't sell something like my apple dvd drive and call it a day.?
I have a Pioneer BDR-X13U-S UltraHD Blu-ray burner that the free MacGO Blu-ray Player Pro supports for non-UltraHD Blu-ray discs. I do not burn Blu-ray discs. nor do I have the Leawo software. Finding UltraHD player software for Mac may be a challenge, and expensive, typically for Windows, or written in China (DVDFab). In the latter sense, and for privacy reasons, I won't even run their trial, much less purchase the expensive software.
I see lots of people saying that which Blu-ray player you have can affect the quality of your video. If playing an equivalent media (say, a 4K Blu-ray disc and a 4K mkv remux from that disc), how would Infuse/ATV compare to a good disc player? Would there theoretically be any quality differences between the two?
The audio however may be quite different. Lossless Atmos and other lossless immersive formats will be lost and just play as basic pcm surround sound. (Lossy Atmos will play as Atmos just fine but that is seldom available on disks.)
Hi... I just bought a RCA Roku TV, which I quite like so far. However, I have one issue I can't seem to figure out. I have a blu-ray receiver attached to an HDMI port on the tv, and the player keeps powering up automatically whenever I turn the TV on. Is there a way to set things up so that the player stays powered down when I turn the tv on?
Update for anyone who may be interested ... turns out it was a setting on my Sony blu-ray receiver, called "Control for HDMI". Apparently it's a Sony Bravia thing that lets devices connected via HDMI cable communicate with each other. It was set to ON on the receiver, so when the Roku TV powered up, it basically said 'hi' to the receiver, causing it to turn on. I went into the receiver's settings and changed the "Control for HDMI" to OFF and voila, the receiver now ignores the tv when I turn it on.
