SONY BDP-S370 not playing BD copy

[Vanbursta]

I can confirm that the BDP-370 does NOT play some backed up Blu- Rays, one of them is Bad Teacher and there are several others too. All that happens is the display shows 00:00:00 and the TV output is completely blank. The Blu Ray plays fine in my older BDP-350.

What firmware versions are you running in the BDP-350 and the BDP-370?

I believe someone stated that the source disk Bad Teacher has the Cinavia infection on it. And, building a back-up disk with the protections removed, on a source disk which has the Cinavia infection will not play on a factory BDP-370 hardware player with Cinavia built-in. Your older BDP-350 does not have the Cinavia infection.

I think I would try building your back-up as BDMV-REC disk and see if it will play on the most likely Cinavia infected BDP-370.

Sometimes things move quickly and this is one of those times.
It is beginning to look more and more like this S370 device is just another poorly designed player.

If one reads some of the "negative" consumer feedback here:

you'll see this player is simply hit and miss with playing some copies.

Nothing evil or magical at all.

I'll eventually close this thread and we can list this drive as another questionable player. My thanks to all who provided info on this matter.

That may be the official line but I don't buy that for a minute. Sony has a long history of intentionally crippling their own products.

Then maybe you'll believe the DLNA themselves?

@Frank: thx for quoting my link lol. Google ring a bell? all i did was enter that exact string "bdp-s370 cannot correctly identify disc. cannot use network function of disc" http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=bdp-s370+ca...nction+of+disc

Please stop this. It just causes more misinformation.

Cinavia does not cause a disc to not start playing with a blank screen and 00:00:00 on the LED display. It sounds like you still don't even understand what Cinavia is or how it works, I suggest you read (or re-read) the Wikipedia article on it again.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with Cinavia.

I have the Sony BDP-S770 with the latest firmware (M04R787) and have no problems playing my back-up of Bad Teachers or any back-ups of any of the other "Cinavia infected" blu-ray titles.

nobody's taking about the S770 here. Its the S370 we're talking about.

Thanks for that. This is why we have an eye on this to see if other experiences lead in another direction. It seems to be hit/miss and title dependent which makes little sense but seems to be so nevertheless.
