A question about BD Live and network messages - Blu-ray Forum

Bruce Morrison · 03-17-2009, 04:02 PM

I have the Panasonic BD50 player but it's not connected to the Internet. When I load some BDs that have BD Live content, an initial warning message is displayed saying that the network connection has not been found. The BD then continues to load normally.

However, other BDs in my collection that have BD Live content don't produce this message. One example is 'Milk', which I have just bought.

Why is there this apparent inconsistency in the behaviour of BDs with BD Live content?

I'm pretty sure it's a matter of how the individual disc is authored. If the studio includes a "network check" at the start (which typically yields a message asking if you want to start downloading any of the BD-Live content or not), then you would get an error message. If the studio simply includes the content but doesn't try to engage any of it until you select it from a menu, there would be no error message.

My player (BDP-83 beta sample) is connected to my home network. I've put in several discs with BD-Live content and been asked if I wanted to download content, but there have been quite a few (probably more than half, although I haven't done a careful count) that also had BD-Live content and didn't make any such request.
