[*]Do subtitles work?[*]Do chapters work?[*]Mulitple audio streams supported?
[*]HD MPEG-2 video / AC3 audio muxed into AVCHD format (non-standard AVCHD with MPEG-2, not MPEG-4 AVC video) then burned to DVD
[*]Do subtitles work?[*]Do chapters work?[*]Mulitple audio streams supported?



I've already discovered, and have found some corroboration, that it will not play MPEG-2 in an MKV file, and will play MPEG-2 in an MPG file, but FF/RW won't function.

I would like to find if there's a container that will support FF/RW, chapters, subtitles, and multiple audio streams for HD MPEG-2 on DVD.

Thanks!

Try to you, because nowhere else found it.

With Blu-ray BD550 off, hold the POWER AND STOP together for a few seconds the display will show some numbers, here there appeared 01,133 that will just push PLAY start browsing for a few numbers in the sequence which do not understand right to unlock.

THIS CAME HERE TO ORDER NUMBERS
01133
02 94
03 01
04 00
05 00
01 00

TO NAVIGATE Thereafter CONTROL AND PRESS PLAY TO CHANGE THE NUMBERS PRESS THE KEYS <<>> THE UNIT BD
AFTER CHANGING THE NUMBERS TO END PUSH POWER

But it also mentions AVCHD, and doesn't state whether that's how it formats the content.

Not all BD players play AVCHD, though not all BD players play Blu-ray files off a DVD, either.

So, marketing, as usual, fails to communicate the actual capabilities.

Meaning if a DVD is 480 thats what I'd like my pre/pro to receive.

I have had success running Serviio, with my BD570, but have not had success with some other DLNA servers including PS3MediaServer and TVMobili. My impression is that the LG DLNA implementation is buggy and/or limited and that some servers do a better job than others at communicating with LG devices.

Hello, folks.

I have an LG BD550 player, and ran into a particular problem laid out very well on this site:
(sorry, can't post URLs--search "lg bluray player netflix "problem" "instant" -amazon" on google and it's the seventh result, on hackingnetflix dot com)
Namely, the number of items in my instant queue doesn't match what the BD550 shows.

My wife added Dylan Dog last night to the instant queue, set it to number one. But when we sat down to watch it, the BD550 showed the #2 as #1, and didn't show #1 anywhere. I double-checked on netflix.com--it was there. We then noticed netflix.com showed about a dozen more items in queue than the BD550.

So I called Netflix, they told me LG writes the software, and to call them. I called LG, they told me it was a Netflix issue. Here's the steps I've taken:
Tried to find the movie on Recently Watched--wasn't there either.
Deleted and re-added movie to queue.
Deactivated all Netflix devices, and re-enabled.
Did a "hard reset" on BD550 (unplug, hold power button for 1 min).
Updated to latest firmware version.
Added and deleted from Instant Queue from BD550--these changes took.

None of this helped. The really odd thing, though, is after I deactivated all devices, the BD550 still loaded Netflix and showed most of the Instant Queue--leading me to believe that info is stored on the device itself, and might not be updating correctly.

Anywho, you folks here seem to know your stuff, so I made and account and posted. Has anyone here had these issues, and found a workaround?

Thanks for reading this, and thanks again if you can help.

What was the timeframe between your adding to Instant Queue and then searching for it? Also, how many items do you have in your queue? Just wondering if there is a delay in adding to the queue and it being viewable in the queue. I haven't experienced this issue myself but figured I would try to help troubleshoot.

I thought it might have been Netflix server issue they had last night--but today I signed in, checked the queue (it's at 110), but the LG still only shows 107. Streaming is working fine otherwise--but with no way to search by title, there is no way to access a film if it doesn't show up in the different groups.

01 132
01 00
02 91
03 00
04 00
05 00

These appear to be hex codes and can be modified by pressing >> for the first digit and << for the second digit.

I don't think there's anything you can do, other than wait until that movie becomes available in a format your LG player can support. Note that I don't have official verification that this is the issue, but I believe it's likely.

All of the problematic titles have been pretty new releases.

I have the same issue happening, it either just is a blank screen and never shows the dlna items, or it will show them and then the unit will just power off.
