I don't think that I can disable BD-Live.

When I insert 'The Smurfs' Blu-ray disc the following message is displayed.

"While playing a BD-J title, keyboard shortcut and mouse operation are ineffective."

[Show spoiler]x Don't ask me again

OK

So, I click on the 'OK button'.

Then I get (in capital letters):

RESUME PLAYBACK?

x YES NO

(Note that the 'YES' is checked.)
I click on the 'YES button' but it is inactive. No response.

******************

The Panel with

Play Movie | Languages Scene Selection | Special Features | Get Now on BD-Live

is inaccessible. - It's visible behind a thick veil. - I cannot click on anything.

The Control Panel with Play/Pause, Fast Forward, etc is inaccessible either -
it's visible behind a thick veil and I cannot click on anything except for:

Eject Button (which ejects the Blu-ray disc),
and Title Menu, Top Menu (I can click on them), but they do nothing.

**********************

I can also resize the Blu-ray window, and access Help and Read Me and Settings.

But the Settings do not have anything related to BD-Live.
Here are some settings:
Resume
OSD
Blu-ray Region
.....
Dolby DRC
Dual Mono
Blu-ray Parent Control

*********************

On top of that I have two questions.

1. Is there any free Blu-ray Disc player which would play 'The Smurfs'?
2. Is there any Blu-ray Disc version of 'The Smurfs' without the BD-Live?


Thanx,

Adam

P.S.
I've also found this in the manual:

"Resume play function cannot be used with BD-J title."

What software player came with your Toshiba? Is it a Toshiba application or a third-party application?

Hi,

Thanks again.

It is the Toshiba Blu-ray Disc Player Version: 1.0.3.196

From the Blu-ray Disc Player User Manual

"5.4 BONUSVIEW and BD-Live

BONUSVIEW and BD-Live are supported by this Blu-ray Disc Player.
From the menu embedded in title you can watch these kinds of content.

Note: This function may have problem by situation of network connection or content."

P.S.
By the way, if I try playing ' Smurfs' Blu-ray disc without connecting to the Internet the situation is the same as described in my previous post.
On top of that the following (button) pops up:

Get Connected

I'll be damned, my laptop just started playing the disc that was inside it, hurrah!


I did buy a panasonic Panasonic DMR-BWT720EB 1tb bd recorder though

According to what all you said I guess it might be the problem of that player software. So update to the latest version and install it to test if works fine. Or try other good players such as Macgo Blu-ray Player or DVDFab Blu-ray Player or Aurora Blu-ray Player. All are excellent.
