I was looking for a machine that would play media over ethernet, and play DVDs I have backed up to hard disk -- and this is not it. I don't know what I'll do with it now, but it definitely does not perform as advertised vis a vis DLNA media servers which it is supposed to be able to access.
So far, it is the single crashiest piece of electronics I have ever seen; it crashes -every- time I attempt to access any of the media servers on our home network. So far, extremely disappointing performance in this area, regardless of other nice features.
I have tested every major DLNA media server available for OS X, Nero (included), and a variety of other windows Media Servers attempting to play standard video_ts folders. This machine doesn't work with -any- of them. It also cannot see shares from OS X, samba or not. When it will play a vob file, such as a menu, the remote cannot navigate in any useful way, including selecting 'play'.
The remote, in general, is... substandard.
UPDATE: 11.13.09: Post software update today
This player cannot even properly recognize a std. VIDEO_TS folder (something nearly any reasonable player must do). When faced with the terrifying prospect of playing the MENU VOB of a DVD, this player fails utterly: the user cannot control standard features of the menu (movement, selection, etc).
I am reducing my two-star review to one star. This thing is junk.Get more detail about LG BD 390 Network Blu-ray Disc Player.
