Blu-Ray DLNA compatibility in Lion?

Hi,
I have an LG BD570 Blu Ray player that is connected to an LG 55LH40 tv.  The blu ray player has a "home link" feature that allows media from my Mac to be accessed and played on the player.  This worked amazingly well on Snow Leopard, but since upgrading to Lion I haven't been able to get it to work.  I have checked avsforum for help on their end and they pinpoint Lion as the culprit. They say that "Apple didn't include some SMB feature in Lion that Snow Leopard had which permitted the BD570 to stream from the Mac." I was wondering if there is anything I can do on my end to get this feature working again, or if Apple had any plans to rectify this missing component in Lion.  Thanks for the help.

I can confirm Playback works with the LG BD570. Just installed Lion over the weekend and it was KILLING me I couldn't connect to my mac anymore from Home Link. ARG. Hoping that Apple is able to resolve why Lion is not allowig this connection on the LG players? So dissapointed by this OS upgrade so far
In the meantime, totally worth the $15 for Playback so I can stream my media again..

  • Blue Ray Disk drive compatibility with DVD S Pro, Mac Pro

    Ok, I'll make this an official question, where might I find info on BDR drive compatibility with DVD S Pro, Mac Pro, etc? I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be much info available.
    I can always use my Pioneer BDR-202 with a windows box, I have several, but I'm trying to get AWAY from them.
    Any thoughts, links, etc. welcome, thanks

    Blu-ray offers a level of interacivity that is not possible with DVDs, so it isn't just an different drive that you are getting with Blu-ray. Seeing how Apple didn't upgrade DVD SP with the new FCP Suite 2, it is reasonable to assume they are working on a separate Blu-Ray Studio Pro, that is going to be completely different than DVD SP. Adobe Encore's support for Blu-Ray is extremely buggy, so obviously moving from DVD programming to Blu-Ray programming isn't just a simple tweak to the code.
    Apple doesn't pre-announce software they are working on so this is all guess work, but it is reasonable to assume that they are working on a Blu-Ray programming application. Be patient. Do you really have the money to burn on the bleeding edge of new technology? A single Blu-Ray burnable disc sells for $20. Two months ago the exact same disc sold for $45. Prices will continue to fall as things stablize.

  • FCP X fails to share to blu-ray or DVD, no chance to trash com.app...plsit from lion, what to do?

    I burned some Blu-Ray before with my new FCPX, now I get a "Failed" message when I try to share both Blu-Ray and DVD to hard drive for an image or actually burn a disc. I saw one answer was to trash the com.apple.final...plist files but I do not know how to do it from the new Lion OS, any help?

    Tom,
    Thank you so much. It trashed the files and now FCPX is burning my Blu-Ray :-)

  • Is there any Blu-ray Player Software compatible with my iMac OS X Mountain Lion?

    I want to watch a Blu-ray Movie on my iMac(OS X Mountain Lion), so I need a best Blu-ray Player Software.

    You need third party software, Macgo Blu-ray Player can deal with the work you mentioned. As for the Mac Moutain Lion(10.8), I check their website and it is said that the Mac OS 10.8 are supported.
    Refers to their product page: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/features.htm

  • Are there any Installation instructions for adding an MCE internal Blu-Ray burner to a Mac Pro(2013) running OS X Montain Lion?

    Looking for any installation instructions or assistance in adding hardware (MCE internal blu-ray burner multi-drive14x) to my Mac Pro system running the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion.

    Ask the vendor if they provide installation instructions. Otherwise, do a Google search for links on installing optical devices in a Mac Pro.

  • My Blu Ray drive in the lower bay is sometimes not recognized since upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    I have a Mac Pro (2.6 GHz Quad Core Xeon, 6 Gb RAM) that I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday.  In the top optical drive bay I have the Apple super drive that came with the machine.  In the lower bay I added a Pioneer Blu Ray burner.  Since upgrading to 10.8, sometimes the Blu Ray drive is not recognized.  I discovered this morning that a restart doesn't solve the problem...I have to completely shut down, then restart, and then the drive will appear.

    You paid for a license to use Mountain Lion & that license is forever tied to YOUR Apple ID. You cannot distribute Mountain Lion in any way shape or form. If you were to sell your computer, with Mountain Lion installed, as I've already provided, the new owner will never be able to update or restore OS X, should the need arise. You will have sold the new owner a huge bag of hurt.
    Good luck.

  • Blu-ray can't communicate with DHCP server since I upgraded to Lion

    Hi gang, hope someone can help me out. I have a Sony Blu-Ray DVD BDP-N460 that I normally use to connect to the internet and watch streaming Netflix, etc. with no problems, until I upgraded to Lion. Now, for some reason, I get an error message: "Having trouble communicating with the DHCP server." I use a wired connection directly to my AirPort Extreme, and I also use a Motorola SBV5220 SURFboard Cable Modem. I haven't changed my internet servings on my Mac.
    Under system settings on my Blu-Ray on-screen display, it says "Physical connection OK, Local Settings OK, Internet Connection Failed." I've tried umpteen times going through the automated setup on my Blu-Ray, where the system automatically detects settings, etc...everything I did when I first set the system up. And I've tried countless manual setting combinations. No luck. This is really weird because I had no problems in the past...the culprit seems to be Lion because this glitch happened simultaneously with my upgrade.
    I am not a networking expert so any help will be greatly appreciated.
    I'm running Lion 10.7.1 on an iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    Thanks.

    Update: So here's what's happened. I figured I would ditch the Sony and get a $99 Apple TV. I still had the same connection issues.
    (FYI my network is now set up like this: Motorola Cable Modem via Ethernet to Time Capsule via Ethernet to Mac. In a separate studio, Airport Extreme wirelessly connects to Time Capsule; Airport Express connects to Extreme via Ethernet cable. For this discussion, only Time Capsule applies, not Extreme as mentioned above.)
    I called support, and they had me read my Time Capsule's IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS Server numbers to them. Then, they had me manually input those numbers into my Apple TV (via my TV screen), number-for-number, EXCEPT they had me increase the last digit of the IP Address by one (for example, my Time Capsule's IP was 10.0.1.2, and they had me make my Apple TV's IP Address 10.0.1.3).
    I assume these settings would work on the Sony DVD. I'm so happy with the Apple TV that I don't even want to go back and try.
    Sorry, Apple, for blaming the whole thing on Lion. Not really sure why all this happened out of the blue though.
    Hope this helps somebody. I'm a happy camper now. Apple TV rocks.

  • Mac OS X Lion & Blue-Ray

    Is there any information whether Blue-Ray movies will playback at the forthcoming Mac OS Lion?
    Because,  believe me,  I hate to find more reasons to turn my computer to Windows.

    Virtualization, such as VMware Fusion or Parallels, doesn't
    work because they do not support the "protected" video
    path that is required by the Bluray spec.  They employ
    a virtualization of the video card and not access it directly.
    You can however, install windows in a bootcamp partition
    and install the player programs there, but this will require
    leaving the MacOS.
    There are other methods to get playback of the movies
    themselves in OSX, but depending on country, the are
    technically illegal, and therefor can't be discussed here.

  • Help me watch HBO GO on my tv using iMac running Lion, wi-fi blu-ray, and/or Xbox for really cheap

    Here's my setup:
    iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I use my iMac as my wi-fi router
    Lion 10.7.4
    iPhone 4S
    LG LCD tv
    LG BD570 blu-ray w/ wi-fi
    XBOX 360 (I do *not* have the XBOX Gold membership)
    Comcast is my cable provider and I am an HBO subscriber
    I suspect I can just hook up the iMac to the tv...but the iMac and the tv are rooms apart, so that's not going to happen. I also know that if I had the XBOX gold membership I could use that, but that's $60 and I don't want to pay that much. I also know a Roku would work, but again, I'd prefer not to have to spend $$ if possible.
    I thought I had found a solution in PlayOn, but then realized it only works on Windows machines.
    Can anyone recommend a way for me to access HBO GO on my tv using any of the above components? Thanks!

    Use a dedicated device like a Roku, once you hook it up it's done.
    Cheapest way possible, all others is more money and time spend trying to get it to work and it won't 100%.

  • Blu-ray Compatibility Testing: Not Encouraging

    Today, I decided to try playing a disc that I created with Encore, a Blu-ray disc that my Sony BDP-S301 reads just fine, at a local Sears consumer electronics showroom.
    They had three Blu-ray disc players:
    Sony BDP-S300
    Samsung
    Sharp Aquos
    I tried the Aquos first, but was dismayed to see that it displayed "cannot play this disc" after a minute of waiting.
    The store salesman suggested I tried the Sony (which I thought was almost a wast of time because MY Sony plays this disc with no issues). To my utter shock, It produced the "cannot play this disc" after a minute of loading.
    Finally, I took it to a Samsung player on another Blu-ray display on the end of an isle. That player did not recognize the disc either.
    So thus far, 3 out of 4 Blu-ray players cannot play a disc authored in Encore. The ONLY player this disc works with is my Sony BDP-S301. Just one model higher than the one in Sears, and that makes the difference between play and no play.
    What this amounts to is that if you're planning to deliver weddings on Blu-ray, be prepared to be doing a lot of refunds and eating the cost of a lot of blank BD-R media.
    This is worse than I every imagined. I really had hoped the days of the Toshiba DVD player of 1998 were long gone. A 25% success rate means that recordable is NOT ready for prime time.

    You are most correct, a lot of consumers are going to take it out of the box and use it, and not know or care about firmware updates. Eventually the problem will be sorted out by manufacturers (indeed I think it mostly already has, most if not all of the new release blu-ray players now support BD-R), this is just the same case when DVD players started getting big, some did not support DVD-Rs or RWs, etc. but most do now. I suppose the solution now would be to set up an email address (thats included in the BD-R packaging) and if people have trouble address them individually by email and inform them of firmware updates.
    All blu-rays that we've released have a CYA statement about firmware updates and a link to the Sony site. If we have several major clients who can't seem to figure it out, have them email their model numbers and ship them a DVD with the update on it with instructions how to use it. I suppose a fee could/should be charged for that.
    Hopefully we'll be out of this awkward phase soon....but only time will tell.

  • Blu-ray compatibility with Panasonic DMP-BD60

    I made a blu-ray disk from Encore CS4 with my internal Pioneer blu-ray burner using Power DVD9 and it played back fine with this burner. But when played  through the Panasonic which is connect with HDMI to Denon receiver to HD TV it stops and starts intermittently throughout the sequence. What is really strange is before I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate had Vistainstalled and at that time tested a Blu-ray disk and it worked fine. Only diifferences between the two is a few page curls and audio fade in /out. I updated the firmware on Panasonic, but did not make a difference. I used Shintaro blu- ray REfor both. DVD disks work fine on both. Could it be if I did my transcoding before I made an Encore project. I used dynamic links this time without transcoding first.
    Any ideas Please

  • Blu Ray:Eventual File Format Compatibility for DVD Studio Pro?  Time Frame?

    Hello There,
    A couple of questions for those of you who might be in the loop regarding Blu Ray authoring development plans for DVDSP:
    1. A time frame?
    2. When Blu Ray authoring is possible with DVDSP, does anyone know what video file formats DVDSP will accept? Will it be MPEG HD? Will it be H.264? Or will it be both? Might it be neither?
    I'm trying to make some hardware decisions for encoding, so if anyone has the inside skinny on answers to these questions, fantastic.
    Thanks,
    sb

    Term of Use of the Boards
    When I said I'm evaluating equipment, I wasn't referring to a workstation, but a real time encoding card that I'm purchasing for additional reasons. If I knew which Blu-ray codec(s) Apple would commit to for DVDSP, (H.264 and/or HD MPEG-2), is would help to ease my decision.
    You should probably look more towards whether (a) the card will be Mac compatible in general (if you are looking for one for the Mac and (b) whether the card supports all the formats which are supported by blu-ray. The reason being, though one would assume that any software to make blu-ray discs would support all proper encodes, it may not be the case. Doubtful, but you never know.
    Adobe Encore and Avid have been supporting Blu-ray since last fall. It makes me think that Apple really isn't "in it to win it" insofar as professional DVD Authoring is concerned, which is too bad because I've made an initial commitment to DVDSP for a rather labor intensive workflow.
    No comment But the issue has been discussed before. Apple will do what Apple thinks is proper. If they do blu-ray (again not thoughts as to where they are now) I am sure it will be done right. blu-ray and HD are new still and you can see players are not even 100%. The Blue Planet, an HD DVD, had issues on players. And blu-ray has some of the same issues. In other words if people with alot of resource$ are having an issue because the area is still a bit of the wild west...

  • Can i upgrade to a blu ray drive

    I have a late 07 macbook 13" (white) and have been looking into upgrading the optic drive, since the one in it cant even write dvds. So i pondered why not go all the way and instead of getting an external drive get an internal drive. and on top of that make it blu ray r + rw ive found a couple af resonably priced drives, but now ive come to the Question ,  is it possible to do to my macbook being that it is so old. I am runing lion so im assuming it can read a blu ray disk and burn them but is my computer able to. What do i do i have the know how to install it on my on but i just need a link to an internal blu ray r + rw drive that is compatable with my computer and if there even is one.
    Mac Specs:
    Processor: 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    PLEASE HELP ME ALL I WANT IS TO PLAY AND WRITE BLU RAY DISKS ON MY MACBOOK, AND TO KNOW IF I'LL HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND BUY AN UGLY EXTERNAL BLU RAY DRIVE OR KEEP A NICE CLEAN SLEAK LAPTOP WITH INTERNAL BLU RAY DRIVE!!!

    I don't know if it will work with a 2007 but I do know that the optical drive in it has an IDE interface not a SATA. So any Blu-Ray drive would have to be IDE.
