Blu-Ray Disc Player BDP-S550 - Blu-ray Forum

gever570 · 05-08-2009, 06:22 AM

I've been messing with this for a short while and have also tried to find some information in google and such but still unsuccessfully.So I decided to try my luck her.

I own a SONY BDP-S550 player,I got it connected to the internet with sorta like a "wireless router" or wireless G gaming adapter.I also own a PS3 and I know that there are several ways to transfer files and media through the network with softwares like "PS3 Media Server" and even WMP11/12.

Neither the ps3 media server s/w that I use on my PC nor WMP11 didn't detect the BDP-S550 and I can't seem to get a way to tranfer files from my computer to the BDP-S550 player.

What s/w do I need to use or what settings do I need to configure in order to get this to work and to able to tranfer my HD movies/music/photos to this blu-ray player?

Thanks in advance

Edit:
Even when I tried to transfer some of my files with an external hard drive of 320 GB the player didn't detect it(need to be mentioned that was before I updated the player to it's latest version-if it makes a different at all)

As far as I know you can't download media to the 550. The ethernet jack is for updates and BD live.

What's BD live for?

Correct...that is not possible. The BDP-S550 doesn't work in that way. Your PS3 is more likely to do something of that nature, so I would stick with that.

Also, go ahead and check out some literature on BD-Live. I'm kind of surprised you bought the player you did without knowing what BD-Live is. It was one of the main reasons I bought the player myself.

Here's another good piece on BD-Live.

Good luck!

The PS3 is your only option here, the simple server, or WMP11
will work, I like the simple server software better, just use your PS3 to host your ripped movies and cd,s, the BDP-s550 will not, I tried to find in my network, never could.
The one thing I wish the PS3 did, when you copy your cd,s to it,
I wished it retained the album art for the cd,s instead of the generic
music art it displays.
