Network Support: Just seeking confirmation -- this unit does not support playing media that is made available through a network, right?

No it is not the one with the network. I have the one with the network (and Youtube, flickr, etc) and it's the way to go for the extra money unless you're the type who would "never" need the network/internet features. I should add that the network model, connected to the internet, checks for system updates and does that with a click of the remote when updates are available. A neat feature.

I do not own this tv but the product spec PDF on Amazon shows it to be DLNA compliant so you should be able to stream from a DLNA source on the network. Can anyone who owns this confirm? Update: I bought this TV and it DOES have DLNA networking capabilities. Worked very well streaming from a 2TB media server.

Hi Craig, Blu-ray Player can play files from Home network via DLNA network.

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

Funny you should ask. Although the packaging for the unit does mention support for both 2.4 and 5GHz networks, the player is unable to find my 5GHz network, but is able to discover the 2.4GHz network easily. I'm thinking there's a misprint on the packaging itself.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

I'm glad to inform you that the Blu-ray Player support Netflix. I have provided a link where you can get more information about activating it and making the network connections. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/topic/BD-P1400

If the NAS (Network-attached-storage) is DLNA-compliant, it should be accessible by the Sony player. If it is NOT DLNA-compliant, it is still possible, but not as assured. Also note that some DLNA equipment is certified for only photos and music (cannot guarantee the bandwidth of videos).

No..this doesnt play anything but files you have downloaded. This box doesn't hook up to the internet at all

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

It doesn't have internet service. 2 no.3no. I purchased it to play music and movies, and it does that good. Great quality playback screen. Plays virtually any format.j

Yes, it can browse/playback media from a DLNA server (personally I use Tversity).

For one thing, this has Miracast (client). It also has a different default interface, though you can set it back to the previous familiar interface (I did, since I do more local media playing than online). I'm sure some of the apps are also updated or new. I'm still (slowly) playing with mine so I haven't figured out all that's new.

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

gojoWell, I can tell you that I talked to Panasonic and you will have to hard player to something in order for it to go online. You will need an ethernet adapter with LAN cable. This is what you would use to play games, so they are called internet wireless bridge, or adapter bridge. Just make sure you can use a LAN cable with it since there are no other options on player. Check out other threads concerning this too. They mention types of adapters to use.Val

No. It only supports Netflix, CinemaNow, and depending on whether you're referring to NS-WBRDVD or NS-WBRDVD2 or NS-WBRDVD3 it might do Hulu or Vudu.

The network is ok .. but I couldn't test the speed because there is no way to see/copy/files through network in this device and no way to browse for subtitle. I don't recommend this player for you dear .. look for other media player
