Samsung’s B1200 new firmware will fix BD+ issues and improve aother features - Blu-ray Forum

Tekman · 10-11-2007, 03:44 AM

OCT. 10 | Starting this Friday, Samsung owners will be able to upgrade players to increase functionality, including enhanced playability of advanced copyright protection technology BD+.

The firmware will be offered for Samsung’s first- and second-generation models, the BD-P1000 and BD-P1200, respectively. For both models, BD+ will be fully playable.

In recent days, there have been a number of Samsung consumer complaints about playback hiccups on 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s Blu-ray Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, one of the first batch of titles to feature BD+.

“This firmware update will resolve freezing issues experienced when viewing Fox titles and their BD+ features,” Samsung said in a statement.

Additionally, the firmware for Samsung’s B1200 will fix audio noise and improve overall playback compatibility on certain movies. It also will upgrade in-movie game performance.

Users can download or burn to disc the firmware from the manufacturer’s Web site. BD-P1200 owners have the option to also access the update via the player’s Ethernet connection

Is it available now to burn to disc? I can't even get on the download center page on the website right now.

Let's hope that Samsung remember those of us outside the US

But many of us have already downloaded it via ethernet since it was there last night.

Does everyone have a ridiculously long ethernet cable or are your players conveniently close to your computers?

Nope I have a wireless bridge setup at my system. So I can connect my sat, receiver, and blu to it. And still have 2 ports left open. I think they can ship north of the border at Monoprice. A 100 ft cat6 is only $14.05.

jman1076 · 10-11-2007, 03:18 PM

i have a wre54g range expander pulling signal from a wrt54g router. I was also told the wet54g bridge would work, but i would have to get a switch as well.

how easy was the setup of the WGA?

quetzalcoatl · 10-11-2007, 08:54 PM

On my WAP54G the setup was not to bad at all. It just took me two tries to figure out what settign I really needed it on. After that it has been very stable.

zombieking · 10-12-2007, 06:23 AM

2 questions. How long does it take to download? And my screen went black when installing the firmware. Is this normal?

From what I heard from owners of the 1200, yes.

The DL for me took about 40 mins. I think they had me on a very small pipe since I have a 10Mb connection. But I have heard within the last day it only taking 10 mins. As to the screen going black it will since there is a HDMI update with it. My biggest problem was is said something about the HDMI update and I hit accept and something else flashed on the screen and then it went black. So I dug out my book and saw it said if there is a HDMI update your screen will go black. But I must admit it did worry me a little at first.

Could you provide a link for the announcement in post#1. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me, and I thought the unit was frozen. Tried turning it off and that didn't work. It finally rebooted on its own and everything came up fine. Just give it time to finish it's update.
