Can you use the RTE Player on it?

doncarlos

I bought this for £110 in January

Great piece of kit and would highly recommend, especially if you don't have a smart TV

No, seems to only have the UK apps

Hmmm... tempting.

And I see there's a way of changing regions too, which is always a must.

Okay... major problem... doesn't seem to support DivX / XVid, according to some reviews.... I'm out.

I bought this to go with the 42" LG 3D in the other thread. I received it yesterday and set it up. Great piece of kit for the price. Netflix and you tube run well on it and blu ray and MKV playback is great.
The Wifi set up was very straighforward.

DivX HD

With support for all popular HD video formats, your LG can play back video downloaded from the internet on the big screen, all in pristine high definition. With DivX HD video, you get the same pristine picture you expect from HD video, but without the limitations.

My LG Surround sound blu ray all in one also supports 1080P DIVX/XVID and even supports NTFS even though it only mentioned FAT.

Thanks... okay, have ordered it.
My old dvd player was getting a little noisy.

I bought this for around the same price before Christmas. Fantastic player, receives consistent software updates and will play back almost anything you throw at it.

DNS can be changed for Netflix purposes. YouTube app supports phone linking. Haven't managed to get the iplayer to work through.

Only downsides are jerky mp4 playback (just remux everything to mkv, mp4 is a terrible container anyway) and button layout inconsistency between apps.

Oh and if u plan on streaming high bitrate content best pick up a pair of powerline adapters to go with it. The built-in wifi is good enough for Netflix though.

Cheers OP, just ordered one.

Can anyone confirm if this can be made Region free for Blu Ray?

I can't physically confirm it until I get it, but I did find this link to a remote control sequence which "should" make it region free.

That seems to only be for region-free DVD. It'd be interesting to see if also makes BD region-free

It shows who your buying from somewhere in the app,cant remember the exact location.

Apparently if shipping is free it usually mane its being fulfilled through amazon.
Thier customer service seems to be great so im not too worried.
Dont take my word for it tho :P

Boo-urns.

Is this fast loading for Blurays. My existing BR Player is painfully slow.

read a review yesterday that said it took 1 minute from closing dvd tray to starting whatever movie the reviewer stuck in

1 minute to start the film proper or to load up the disc?

1 minute to the film proper,it loads the disc in about 10-15 secs.
It loads a Dvd in seconds.

Very nice Bluray player,I have the BP520,it has played everything I have thrown at it.
It also has optical out and the the remote is very good .

Bloody Amazon.

Ordered at 12:50 and they won't let me cancel/chnage delivery address at 13:30pm.

It'll go to a Post Office Depot now.

This is for DVD prob wont work for blu ray.

This is probably a stupid question but I am a tech-idiot, I bought a 5.1 1000W LG player about 5 years ago and I would like to upgrade to blue-ray/3D but keep the speakers I have from the old system as the sound quality is excellent. Would it be possible to connect the 5.1 speakers to this DVD player?

If your 5.1 amp has an optical audio input then yes you can connect it up.

Super-Rush

Got 12% off with Flubit.

Very tempting.

I just checked my DVD player and it has an optical audio input, does this mean I have to connect the blue ray/3D player to the old DVD player to get 5.1?

That's actually my query above, I posted from a different computer and didn't notice it was already logged in as another user!

According to Amazon and UPS mine arrived at 11am.

Bloody hell that was a quick turnaround from Thursday lunchtime to Friday morning.

What does PEP mean? Hopefully it means a neighbour signed for it so I don't have to go to the Post Office.

iPhone.

Is this the same machine?

EDIT :Only available for 'store collection' anyway, and only seems to be in stock in a limited number of UK stores also. oh well!!

brightkane

and here! 120!

I was interested to see if anybody else had got such a quick turnaround. I received mine in less than 24 hours as well. Can't see how they can do that express delivery on a heavily reduced item and still make money. Great having it for the weekend though !!!

My flubbit offer... I feel cheated.

Proving a very disappointing purchase so far.

There is no Netflix app showing up for me - and its the main reason I bought it.

Could anyone who owns this, and one or two people earlier in the thread said they did, tell me how they got the netflix app to appear?

noodler

I sorted my issue.

Country setting was set to other - needed to be set to UK.

If you set it to Ireland can you get rte player?

Is there a browser that you can watch tv on via network pages,eg watch rte player on www.rte.ie/player ?


Also ya big alarmist! My heart fell when I saw your first post.

Theres only two country options I can see (UK and other).

Didn't check to see if there was a browser option.

I ordered from Amazon on Thurday at 12am, it started shipping at 4am. Received Friday. Amazing turn around...

Just plugged it it updated, youtube netflix, streaming. Happy for the price. Has made my 50 inch LG a smart TV

Simi

There isn't a browser (unless it's been hiding under my nose this entire time), but it does have google maps and a litany of third party apps, almost all of which are useless junk.

At the moment it does netflix and youtube very well. Afaik it's one of the few blu-ray players which allows you to watch American netflix. BBC iplayer may work at some point in the future. If anyone manages to get it to work please let me know how! :-)
