Panasonic DMP-BD605 : Discs With Play Back / BD-Live Issues
On my brand new Panasonic DMP-BD605
><club version, retail verison is: DMP-BD60><
Connects to the "NET" just fine as I am able to access the "YouTube" using the "VIERA CAST" feature.
Discs With Play Back / BD-Live Issues:
BOLT
/ Disney: The disc will play the promo's & trailers but then it falls back the 'no disc screen', no main playback menu.
WALL*E
BEDTIME STORIES
/ Disney: BD-Live not available in my area?? Does not say can not connect or player not compatable??
BANGKOK DANGEROUS
PUNISHER: WAR ZONE
/ Lionsgate; MoLog will not load, just get loading screen for over 30 minutes before ejecting disc.
THE MUMMY III: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR,
HELLBOY II:THE GOLDEN ARMY,
THE INCREDIBLE HULK(2008)
WANTED
/ Universal: Does not see the machine as profile 2.0 / BD-Live compatable.
HANCOCK,
CASINO ROYALE: COLLECTOR'S EDITION
/ SONY: Can not connect to the Sony BD-Live feature server.
THE DA VINCI CODE
/ SONY: Can not connect to the Sony BD-Live feature server, But does connect to the new "CineChat" server.
Working BD-LIVE Disc's:
BODY OF LIES / Warner Brothers
FORBIDDEN KINGDOM / Lionsgate; unlike Bangkok MoLog loads?
THE SPIRIT / Lionsgate; live connection works, but the gadgets are showing wrong city/time, With no user way to set.
IRONMAN / Paramount
TROPIC THUNDER / Paramount
I am starting to think that maybe I have a bad machine? If anybody here has the machine and does not have the issues listed please reply!!

Firmware
As far as I can tell the system has the latest firmware as it will not download a new firmware, also when I downloaded it from the web site and tried to do a disc install it says I have the latest firmware and will not install off the disc.

But by chance you don't happen to have an IP address for one of the major DNS servers so I can list it and not rely on my local providers DNS system?

I had tried five times to enter in the DNS server that my cable modem used over two days before posting and it never seemed to of fixed the troubles..Sounds like a possible DNS issue with your network set-up - the player may be unable to find specific BD-Live servers because the domain names are not resolving properly. Here's a post on how to set the network settings manually. Try that and see if it helps. If it does, then it is most likely a compatibility issue or problem with your specific router or network switch.
Why doesn't BD-Live work on my Blu-ray Player?
Hope it helps.
