The DVD won't play in anything, not a DVD or BluRay player. I also can't find apps that interact with this. Any suggestions?

Had the same problem. I was able to play in my computer though. Try that hopefully it works for you.

That sounds like a problem with your individual unit. My wife got me the Blu-ray edition of Planet Earth for Valentines Day and I've been watching them constantly.....no problems detected...not even the slightest hiccup. Have you loaded the latest firmware patch from Sharp? I loaded it the day I bought my player (a couple months ago). Good luck with getting this working!!

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

Good afternoon. I have updated the firmware to the most recent edition and am able to play all bluray disc so far with the exception of 'underworld rise of the lycans. We really would like to be able to watch this movie. We have tried two different disc. Any thoughts?

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

I am having the same issue. I check the network connection and it is fine. I can pick a movie in the Netflix app so I am connected to Netflix. I contacted Netflix and they gave me a list of lg blu ray players that they said LG provided them and this is not one of them. I've also contacted LG to see what their response is but I haven't gotten a response yet. Has anyone used Netflix with this blu ray player? If so, how did you activate it?

Did anyone solve this problem? So far it plays none of my European blu rays and I get the same error message.

It played a few for me, but not many. With most discs I tried it told me I needed to install the latest patch. I installed the patch and it still told me the same thing. Some of the ones it would *not* play for me were The Amazing Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight Rises, and Game of Thrones. These are some pretty high-profile titles for it to not work. I think I was able to play Grimm Season 2 and that was about it. It played DVDs with no problems, but the interface is pretty terrible so it's not worth it.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

I have and do; in fact, it's been the best Blu Ray player I've used for a computer. I have a Mac and use a downloadable player. Try Different software; if that doesn't work, it might be a faulty unit.

I don't know what programs you have tried, but use the LG software first to make the BD readable and playable, then you need to use a blue ray playing program such as Roxio or Power DVD etc.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

Apparently its a format issue. Any disc with BD-Java encoding will not resume. I like the higher res of bluray but hate pretty much everything else about the format. It is not consumer friendly in the least.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

This will only play content from CD/DVD disks. If the disk says "blue-ray" (which is popular for new HD movies) this won't play it! You will need to look for a player that can play blue-ray disks.
