Netflix not working on BD-85K: Has anyone experienced this?

Yes, it's all over the net. Do a Google search on "Panasonic firmware 1.43" -- AVS has pages on it. In summary: firmware defect, they are "working on it" (have been for a couple days), no immediate way to get back to previous version. All we can do is wait (or return units, if that's still an option)

"your bd player's netflix keys have been hacked" and it said I could no longer play Netflix movies on my player. So I'm going to just post how I fixed it since the answers were spread out on this thread. I can't say each step is necessary, but it worked. I have the newest firmware.Got same problem. Upgrade firmware and found this solution online that worked for me:1. Deactivated the player at Netflix's website. Under "Your Account" ...2. Hard reset by pressing fast-forward on the player for five seconds with no disc.3. Attempt to play a Netflix movie (red "A" button on main screen).4. Perform the regular activation process for Netflix.5. Reenter Time Zone, Time, etc. settings in player.

This is a common problem with the Samsung TV's, there are posts all over the internet about it. Fixes range from resetting the Smart Hub software to resetting the TV to factory defaults to having the mainboard in the TV replaced. I tried everything I could find (except having the mainboard replaced) and none of them worked. After hours of trying to figure out why HBOgo would work and not Netflix, I tried placing my TV's IP address in the DMZ of my router. Much to my surprise, this worked. I didn't want to leave it there, so I looked for updates to my router firmware. After updating the router firmware, I was able to take the TV out of the DMZ and Netflix continued to function. Apparently the Samsung Netflix app uses some sort of network traffic the old firmware didn't support. Before updating the router, Netflix streamed fine to my PC, Boxee Box and DVD player, but not to the TV...so I know it has to be an issue with the newer app... The Netflix setup is my only complaint about this TV, with how long Netflix has been around, you wouldn't think this would be an issue anymore.

Thank you. The problems occurred with Netflix discs. Did not have any problems with purchased Seinfield DVDs (I purchased the boxed set from Amazon). I guess I'll clean the Netflix discs before watching. Though-I did not have problems when I played the stuck Netflix DVD (not Blu), on my Sony DVD player. Maybe the DVD player is less sensitive than my Blu-Rayplayer.

Okay, I know it sounds crazy, but this is what worked for me on my Panasonic Blu-Ray player. Maybe it'll work on a TV too. I was having the same problem. All of a sudden, Netflix stopped working after months of wonderful streaming. Nothing would work. The I found this somewhere online - you need to deactivate your netflix account on the blu-ray player. To get to this option: after you get your error message, instead of "try again" or "back" do this: on your remote hit: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up. I kid you not. It takes you to the deactivate screen. Hit deactivate. You might have to do it once or twice (I had to do it twice). Then I was prompted to re-login to my Netflix account, and then it worked again! I know it sounds ridiculous, but apparently the programmers at Netflix have a sense of humor...

I have had no problem with my netflix DVD rentals, Blu-ray or SD. I hooked up the Ethernet before using the player. Upon powering up for the first time, the player was connected to the network instantly and began updating with no intervention on my part. I wouldn't be concerned about the method of update. The biggest concern would be that the player recognizes the file and won't allow you to reinstall it. In other words, it will state that "no update is available." My hunch is that the network settings must be manually entered in the player when you connect an Etherrnet cable after the player's 'update" has already been completed. I would try manually setting up the network before redoing the update. If the automatice detection settings work, it 's much easier. Here's how. Power up your 2500. Pull out any disc that may be in it. You will need to get into 2500's Setup menu and then Network setup. The easiest approach, set DHCP to the "On" setting and DNS to "Automatic". If these settings are already chosen, then you will need to get some numbers from your Network software on your computer and manually enter them. If not, go back to the main menu, select "A" and try using netflix. I doubt the player needs to be powered down and restarted. Assuming netflix streaming does not work with the automatic settings - go to your computer. Using your networking software, find the following numbers: IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Primary DNS. You will have to get these numbers and manually enter one or all of them. If you just absolutely can't find the numbers or get them to work, then I would try redoing the update and possibly contacting Samsung for support.

I'm like you, I bought mine back in July strictly for Netflix capability. FWIW, it's been working flawlessly since July on the earlier versions. Its just this latest (1.43) that screwed it up. I even tried installing an earlier working firmware version (1.27) by downloading off their support website where you burn it to a CD, put it in the tray and install directly. The unit comes back and says "Cannot install firmware. The unit has a more current version installed than the disc you are trying to use". So now, we're stuck until the fix comes.

Yes, Netflix does not work any longer on the Samsung 48" or 55". For some reason it simply does not work. If you figure out how to correct this issue please let me know.

The Samsung BR player has the same thing. Most likely an issue with Netflix and not the manufacturers of the BRPs.

I am having the same problem as mentioned above. For some reason, Netflix movies (Universal) are not playing and I receive a plain black screen. The numbers say 00:00:00 but play will not function at all. There are no more updates according to the system tools. I am at a complete loss. Streaming works great on my end. I do not have any problems with Netflix stream.

Hey, New information!!!! Download the two zip files under BD570 from http://www.lg.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD570&initialTab=drivers&targetPage=support-product-profile unzip them and put the files from the two files on a usb drive formated for NTFS. You could try doing it with FAT32, mine was NTFS though. Plug it into the USB port on the player and it will ask you if you want to update. It added a channel in Netcast and fixed a common problem with Netflix.

If Panny's blu ray bdt220 player has internet connection then yes. This TV on it own doesn't connect to the Internet and therefore on its own cannot stream Netflix. Hope this helps.

I could get mine to connect but continued getting error messages when I tried to access Netflix even though the Netflix site came up. So, I called emailed them and none of the fixes worked. If I were you I would return it and either purchase a Blue Ray player with wireless capabilities or get a Roku. I have a Sony Blue RFay wireless player and it works great. I paid $100 for it. I also have a Sony for the TV in my computer room and it is wired to my router via ethernet cable and it works great. The Rikomagic is a great idea if it would just work.
