PM'd back to you. The short answer is that Panasonic UB820 and the UB9000 will not play ripped MKV audio files.

What's the Panasonic UB320EBK model in the US, and what are the differences between them? It's down to £99 from £199 in most places, so I'm very tempted to get one, lol.

320 has no HDR10+ and no HDR Optimiser. The 420 is worth the extra outlay, got one for £120 from Currys.

That's a reasonable price in the UK. Here in North America we have to pay for a wall.

My TV doesn't support HDR 10+, it supports DV and HLG though

Would the 420 do DV?

sapiendut · 02-15-2019, 09:00 PM

I think so. Just no streaming capability.

That's fine then! Unfortunately my TV has some weird auto-backlighting problem when streaming DV content on Netflix (and I have no idea how to fix it) but DV discs are fine.

AKORIS · 02-15-2019, 09:13 PM

there's been way too much technical talk here for the past month...

can I just simply say that I've had my new Panasonic 820 for a month or so and it's hands down the best player I've ever owned.

I play everything on it (2k and 4k discs) and the color, the sound, the clarity are terrific!

Only if you pay for a firmware update (I think you get that and the extended info data), out of the box it's just HDR and HDR10+. Streaming is just HDR.

Anyone has problems with the Amazon Prim app on the 9004. I tried to watch ' the Grand Tour' but it is unwatchable. The picture is stuttering shaking etc and sometimes it even freezes. Anyone has the solution?

sapiendut · 02-17-2019, 04:58 PM

Have you updated to the last firmware update released last week? If yes you may need to do a factory reset on the player.

Bigbro · 02-19-2019, 08:58 AM

Yes I have updated it, I believe it was 1.51. No changes on the Amazon Prime app though

DJR662 · 02-20-2019, 07:47 AM

My 820 has been acting up lately.

Sometimes when I turn it on, it gets stuck while there's the "welcome!" message on the front display but nothing happens after that. All I hear is a loud spinning noise from the fan. Have to disconnect the power in order to get it working properly again.

Anyone else had this problem?

Edit: downloading new firmware as I type this, hopefully that'll resolve the issue.

Once or twice I've had to unplug it because it froze.

Bigbro · 02-20-2019, 09:47 AM

@DJR662

Yes I have experienced the same problem with my 9004. I own it now for about 4 months and had to unplug 4 times.

Bigbro · 02-20-2019, 09:59 AM

I'm sorry if this question was here before but the number of pages is now to big. Can anyone tell me if I can play MKV files from my NAS via the Panasonic UB9004? Most of the time I do get Video but the audio remains mute. Anyone?

So strange. I've had mine since early spring last year, but this issue only arose last week. I've now updated it to the latest firmware, will see if that has any effect on the issue at hand.

The mkv itself isn't the problem. The Panasonic players will NOT play lossless/high-rez audio that's in a video file. It is not a hardware limitation but is a deliberate decision by Panasonic to restrict such playback...and that info should really be a sticky somewhere as it literally comes up every few weeks when another user discovers this.
