Any changes on the network traffic handling?

I still have a player that absolutely does not like something in my network (I think it is a gigabit switch). I've been testing for hours, and as soon as I connect this to the network (even if the player is not connected to it directly) it stops functioning... Wired or wireless.

As I have NetTV on my TV and at the moment have no time to watch any monies via the network, it has not much priority at this time, but I would like to know if there is anything that I can do to investigate this mystery any further and have the player disconnected from the network...

Greets,
Chris

Has anybody tried this version on the 5200 player, as the same version number of the 7600 player has some not so happy users...

Hi

the problem is, that the YouTube Leanback has some really bad drawbacks but Philips already mentioned that Google/YouTube will hopefully make an update available: http://www.supportforum.philips.com/...ll=1#post23989

I´m not happy at all with Leanback Youtube, when you open the app it plays a random video, no suscriptions, no channels...

Apart from that when I open it my keyboard can just type numbers and then won´t work even in the internet app. Anyway to get back to the previous version?

Thanks,

[_LN_]

Posted this in another thread as well, and figured it might help others who, like me, inadvertently DOWNgraded to 1.42...


Successfully UPgraded my BDP5200 from firmware 1.42 to 1.35, and all is well again with Youtube now -- whew!
Found the link on a German forum, the download says it's the German version, but there's no difference:
