Nothing is coming out at all. I connected the video RCA cable and there is picture and sound. For some reason the hdmi connection is not working. Any ideas?

1) does this support DLNA and playback of remote avi, TS, MKV files (i have a networked drive)
2) does anyone know if this supports 1.5x speed playback with audio (like the PS3 does)
3) does anyone know if this will convert 50Hz to 60Hz for region free blu-rays

Thanks

I guess my last resort is to run some files through mkv2vob and make them mpeg files

anyone have pictures of the inside? does it have a jtag?




I had similar problem. the cables i have are cheap cables from ebay. dont know the version number. the manual and box clearly states it needs hdmi v1.3b cables... i am waiting to receive the ones i bought but as of right now i am using component. displays 1080i, but its okay since my tv is only 1080i.
btw beware of BD+ it is considered DRM so only 480i is displayed.


1 NO DLNA. NO streaming over network.
2 Sorry havent tested it.
3 If your blurays are region free it should work. All necessary conversion if any are done.


No descriptions were given.
On the manual it clearly has copywrite information on linux, busybox and java among other stuff... if theres the source code was availble we could have custom apps. But they usually keep the source code to themselves(companies). I doubt we will get netflix. We need to bother LG alot to get some progress with it.




Make sure your MKV is profile 4.1!!!!
use the orginal mkv file. drag n drop into tsmuxer and select profile 4.1. then select .msts NOTHING ELSE. Forget about the chapter stuff.
why .msts? because those are the HD file extenstions most camcorders output to be compatible.
Be cauious as the subs WONT be selectable but will be in the file... i tried different subs and couldnt get it to work in .ts or .msts

Try looking at the multiavchd website. He has a couple of new tools for muxing files.

The tray kinda spits out slowly but not horrible.

would you like me to upload a set for you to test out?

ive owned many dvds players and 1 other bluray (insignia)
blu-ray playes..especially cheap ones have lags...its true. but it gets the job done. as far as the tray its slow but not horrible...yes...but im not complaining at least the gears wont wear out faster...lol.

I was getting all those messages like the player needed to be hooked up to an internet connection or "coming soon"...etc..

This is how I got BD-LIVE to work:

-format USB thumb/drive (fat 16 or 32)
-boot up your LG 530 (without disc and without USB inserted) so it goes to main on-screen menu..

-go to setup
-go to others
-go to initialize

NOW...insert USB drive/device

You should notice that "BD Storage Clear" is now selectable...Select it and confirm "yes"...It will do a momentary "clear" (even though your USB drive is already empty).

Now, you leave that USB drive in there and load any Blu-Ray movie with BD-Live, and when you run the BD-Live features, it should work....

At least it did for me....

If you leave the USB drive in the slot, you can eject and load different Blu-Rays and BD-Live should still work (until your USB drive is full, which then you can initialize it again!)...

P.S. - If you format or use this USB drive on any other device, it will probably corrupt/overwrite the BD530 BD-Live data....So, it's probably best to have a dedicated drive just for the BD530 (I.E. Just leave it in the USB slot FOREVAHHHHH!)

good luck
