Er, the clue might be in the thread title ???

 

[bradavon]

I have missed a lot whilst I've been on holiday.


For the first time since I've owned the player "Network Update" actually found the new firmware. I presumed it only worked in North America. Mine too reverted things back to defaults. That's never happened before.

I wonder if we will see an SACD fix (BH200 cannot play the CD layer from any hybrid SACDs).

I too would love this fixed but I doubt it will be now

Any ideas why 1GB of Flash memory is virtually never included as standard? It cannot cost that much to include.


Even new Panasonic Players still require a Flash Drive. It just looks really annoying stuck out of the front. I'll give the feature ago but won't be leaving it stuck in the front.

Any word? I too would like to know what "else" has changed.

Thanks and of course thanks for all the work you're putting in, plus others. I must say how impressive it is to get BD-Live on a product discontinued such a long time ago.

 

[bradavon]

What's the difference between "Partially Permitted" and "Permitted" On the BD-LIVE menu? Thanks. Sorry if this has already been answered.

I think that has to do with whether you actuallly have enough memory or not. Partially permitted is without a flash drive inserted, Permitted is with.


That was my experience, anyway. First disk I tried (without a flash drive) was Sleeping Beauty. I got the noticable BD enabled changes on the disk menu--meaning it knew what the time and weather in "my kingdom" was (so it had to be checking the internet, right?) but couldn't get out to the Disney BDLive servers for content. Inserted the stick and all was good.

 

[bradavon]

Thanks for that. I thought you "had" to have a flash drive for BD-Live period, is that not the case? I guess not.


Did you change it to "Permitted" when trying the "Disney BDLive servers for content" again?

 

[husslord]

LG still needs to fix Watchmen I am still p***ed about that!

Oh Brad - whilst on holiday you have missed all the excitement and b*tching -best check to see which of your favorite discs still play - me thinks 2.0 is all we got as there has been no log posted as to what this update contained - and, as you know by now, many of the other issues (aka 4:3 etc) were not addressed. (so glad I didn't change my screen name).

 

[bradavon]

Thanks LGDoubter. Good to see the bitching is still present and correct

.


I reckon you're right, Profile 2.0 only. I doubt we'll ever see the 4:3 issue fixed. I just don't think LG consider it high priority at all. Sad but the truth. Luckily for me my TV's controls aren't overridden but I appreciate many are.


Are there lots of reports of "new" problem discs?

Nope. Despite what the LG Service Sites may say.


I run a Belgium BH200 (it was never released in The UK, only the plug shape is any different) and have successfully run every firmware ever released. Well expect the very first November 2007 one as mine came preloaded with January 2008 but ignoring that I've installed and run (without problem) every firmware since then. Including the April 2008 (which gave us all that Lossless Audio goodness) and the latest June 2009 (BD Live).


I'm not sure why LG Service Sites say "US & Canada Only" for some of the firmware releases as it's never been a problem for me or others too. You can always downgrade. Why LG have never bothered to put the March 2009 and latest June 2009 firmware on said Service Sites is anyones guess. The latest one on their is still December 2008.

Partially Permitted - Internet access is permitted only for BD-Live contents which have content owner certificates. Internet access and AACS Online functions are prohibited for all BD-Live contents without a certificate.

Permitted - Internet access is permitted for all BD-Live contents.

 

[husslord]

until bd-live does something that warner is doing with its blu rays i will pass the pain in you know what to trying to hook it up through another router!

 

[bradavon]

What are Warner doing with BD-Live?


Thanks GoGadget. I'll leave it fully on. I rarely find so called untrusted certificates actually unsafe.

You'll need to try yours out to see. Orphanage freezes at chap 2, Plague Town played B4 this update, now won't (disc error) (yes - went back to earlier updates - still won't play) Haunting in Conn played fine B4, now the last chapter freezes up - that's it for me (thus far) which is why I bought a Panny D60 this morning - I am now LGquiter

 

[bradavon]

Thanks. I happen to have the UK Orphanage BD from your list (Region Free otherwise much the same, slightly different extras). I'll check though.

I've downloaded the new firmware to cd, but I think I will hold off installing it in lieu of problems some people have had with disk compatability. Blu-ray live is not a big deal with me as the player is not hooked up the internet and will mean an additional expense to so. Very disappointed they did'nt resolve the 4:3 issue as I have quite few old musicals, will have to set the player to 480p to get OAR. BTW I'm running the June 08 firmware and have yet to run into any playability problems save the Clerks II disk that is not the players fault.

 

[bradavon]

I've yet to see a BH200 firmware release where someone hasn't had a problem disc with it.

LOL. And then came the "Wirtschaftswunder" and we were back in business

Guess thats not gonna happen with HD

Back to topic, I am still very disappointed that the 4:3 Bug (thats it for me) has not been addressed.

 

[StardustOne]

Now that it can do BD-Live I have the biggest problem using this feature because this player is a nightmare to get an IP address.


It's not always working.

 

[bradavon]

Sorry to hear that. Mine has always worked fine using a dynamically assigned IP address.

 

[vinnie97]

Same...though I haven't used it until recently, my router serves it an IP via DHCP without any fuss.


I don't think you can blame the BDA or BD-Live on that.

I set it up manually as Dynamic has never worked on either of my BH200's.
