Hi!

I've upgraded my player. Had to switch off my Windows Home Server before it would actually download the files: Before I swithced it off, it just kept displaying 'Downloading', with a progresbar locked to 0%.
Static IP: would that maybe be the source of my problem?

Anyhows: no problems seen yet; but then again: I only did the NetTV and no playing of disks...
But indeed, also at my it does not display any SW version (see post #26). Is this Ok?

Also the firmware is stillnowhere to be seen on the support site (NL, UK nor BE).

Greets,
Chris

Still shows 1.52 on product page.

Hi,

1.55 is only available via online-update: remove any disc, connect player to internet, start integrated update procedure (from network). When finished and player works again, make a factory reset to have a "clean" start...

Just out of curiousity: why is it only available via online-update?

I've seen the 1.55 firmware on the UK site, so that's solved!
Yesterday I did fire up the BDP (just playing with our new Android Tablet and the TV remote App: great stuff!).
But: The player did not connect to the network. IP: 0.0.0.0... Haven't investigated further, because we had some other IT props...

Greets,
Chris.

I have the new firmware 1.55 but now i can't read USB disk with NTFS. What can i do?. Is possible that you send me the fimware v1.52 or other ? This is urgent !!

Could you please help advise the brand (and model) of your HDD?
Thanks.

[ejgallardo]

I have a disk hitachi 500GB 0S00395, TOSHIBA v63600-C 1 TB but this problem is independent of HDD, becouse, if i format a pendrive with NTFS i can't read nothing. For other way i re format the same pendrive with fat 32 can i read ok. This independent of the capacity of the HDD.
Until to the previus version of your firmware i did not have this problem with any disk. Is possible downgrade the firmware? can you send me a link to a previos firmware please?

Dear ejgallardo,

Thanks for info. I will pass the info to development team for a study.

Dear Luth,

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards,

Also after up(down)grade please reset your BDP player to factory settings from the menu.
It just takes few extra button clicks but can really make a difference.
It's like you just bought the device.
