Oppos lets you skip the forced trailers?

NoirFan · 10-20-2017, 03:13 AM

No. Pressing top menu gives you the red circle with a line through it, and pop-up menu does nothing at all. I just double-checked on my 203.

Exact same experience here with my 203. At least there’s a “resume playback” option at absolute minimum, thank heavens.

The packaging is gorgeous, though.

Yeah, two thumbs up on the packaging.

Two thumbs down on dropping the first disc in our Blu-ray players and being forced for 5 minutes

to watch 2 trailers.

Shame on you Netflix. No class.

Nothing my friend BD Rebuilder (Mode->Movie & Menus) couldn't take care of though.

Ah, much better.

My Sony Blu-ray changer is slow with Java enabled discs.

Once the Java loads though it's straight to the Main Menu now if not prompted instead to resume where I left off.

Gotta love it!

( Any actual discussion of re-authoring should be taken elsewhere. After all, we must stay in compliance with the forum rules.)

I was wondering if the previews were unskippable or if I was just an idiot. I couldn't get past them, no matter what I did on my Panasonic Blu-ray player, no forward buttons or stopping the disc and resuming would work. In fact, stopping the disc or ejecting the tray simply made me sit through all of the previews again. LOL!

Netflix locked out all the remote functions. A real dick move.

Have to say, I have Netflix, but was really tempted to pick this up when I was at Target last night. Really well done.

I think about 90% of the people on this thread have Netflix but we just had to get them in physical copy and of course with that cool ass retro packaging

Mine arrived in a white bubble padded envelope. Luckily it arrived in perfect condition. No dents or creases.

I couldn't skip the previews on my Oppo 103D. Tried FF, chapter and Go to. Didn't work.

gerdsen · 10-20-2017, 06:12 AM

Wonder if they will keep this retro thing going for the future seasons on Blu-Ray

How did you manage to order it from Target? I'm in the UK too and if I try their international site, it just says "only in stores", no option to order it.

You have to search for 'Stranger Things Blu-ray' and then click on 'add to cart'.

I just noticed that they would charge EUR 23.76 ($28.09) for shipping to Germany...expensive.

Yeah Even if you add to cart you can’t order it. It says it does not ship international even tried T-Shirts too and its not possible.have no clue how he ordered from int.Target

TheHutt · 10-20-2017, 09:00 AM

How interesting! This way, it actually seems to work.

Right now, I am served with a HDN group buy. However, next time (Season 2) this will come in handy.

Yeah, that's actually more than the cost of the article.

AndyB1973 · 10-20-2017, 09:16 AM

I'm in the UK and got it to add to my cart.

Comes to over £41 though delivered. Far too expensive for just 8 episodes (as much as I love the show and the packaging).

Hopefully we will get a release over here.

Going by the post I saw about the 5 minutes of unskippable ads, I'm guessing that's the culprit.

Did a google search about similar issues and someone suggested turning off all network connections (again, for different discs). Something else I'm not going to try tonight.

It doesn't appear to be the ads. My Xbox One loaded the first disc without any issues, and it wouldn't load disc two that doesn't have any ads. Maybe these discs are lesser quality than most pressed blu-rays and the Xbox One is more sensitive to that. Back in the early days of DVD, I owned a DVD player that wouldn't load certain discs that other DVD players had no issues with.

Contacted the support already?

Underworld54 · 10-20-2017, 11:28 AM

I have an idea for you XBOX owners. Why don't you put in disc one and choose an episode from disc two. It'll prompt you to insert disc 2. There was once an issue with a Game of Thrones disc where the only way you could play it is by doing a similar workaround.
