Satellite P850 - Where to get Toshiba Blu-ray player?

Hi,
I recently reformatted my p850/049 for windows 7. I tried to install the Toshiba Blu-Ray Disc player V1.0.3.196A, the file didn't work at all and when I tried to install it manually "cannot find player in your system. Installation Aborted". On the download page it is listed as a patch, but where do I find the original file? I have SP1 Windows 7 pro 64 bit, all up do date as of 24th May 2013
I found V1.0.5.110 from the US version of the Toshiba support site and this installed and does play DVD's and it tries to open a Blu-Ray but it gets stuck on blank screen and doesn't play or allow me to do anything like skip scene or go to the menu. There's no error message complaining about region or corrupt files or anything it just goes to a blank screen, with the controls available but they don't do anything. As I said dvd's work perfectly, just not blu-rays.
The player itself seems to function normally on this screen and when you try to click buttons it comes up with a circle with a line through it when you try and click buttons like a normal dvd player if you tried to skip through the copyright warnings and the time index is always a small number ie 25 seconds or so. As if it were trying to play a small segment like the copyright section or something.
I've tried a number of different Blu-ray discs and none of them work. I downloaded a trial of another Blu-ray player program and it plays Blu-rays all the same ones that don't work on the Toshiba player (so the hardware works), so i'm looking for a free one that works without leaving a watermark on the screen. It seems silly as I expected my machine to PLAY BLU-RAYS without me having to buy software.
Any help would be appreciated

Yes, this is a patch file and you cannot install this without having installed an full version.
But I found on the Toshiba Australian driver page the Toshiba Video Player 5.0.0.16-A
Did you try to install this application?
At the other hand I could recommend the usage of freeware software like VLC Player.
This is really great and in my opinion the best player you can get for free.

  • Satellite Pro L870-149 - Toshiba Blu Ray Player query

    Good afternoon.
    I bought the above laptop about a month ago and have just tried playing a Bluray disc for the first time using it's built-in Bluray drive but nothing plays.
    By default the drive autoruns the built-in Toshiba Blu Ray Player which does load up successfully. However nothing happens when I hit play, I cannot see a list of chapters and I cannot load up any menus relating to the disc itself.
    The disc can be navigated in Windows Explorer and there are no marks on the disc itself (it is a brand new, shop-bought disc) but I do not have any other BluRay discs I can use to check whether it is the disc or the player.
    Does the built-in player or the drive itself have any restrictions on playing shop-bought BluRay discs?
    I should also note that I have ensured I have selected the correct region during the initial set-up of the player.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Simon

    > Does the built-in player or the drive itself have any restrictions on playing shop-bought BluRay discs?
    As far as I know there are no restrictions to play the original BR disks
    I would recommend checking the Toshiba EU driver page.
    There seems to be a new version of this software v1.0.3.63
    But if you have no problems using the Cyberlink PowerDVD so I would not be really worried about this tiny issue

  • Blu-Ray player installation issue: missing VBScript

    Hi folks!
    After downloading bluray driver as recommended by Toshiba notifier, i have trouble installing it.
    After I have run installation, I receive 2 windows with following notifications:
    1, First: Cant find script engine VBScript for script ..... TC3052100B.temp\preinstBDV.vbs
    (where TC3052100B.temp referds to the bluray driver itself if i undersand correctly)
    2. and after the above window is closed, the following appears:
    Cant find script engine VBScript for script ..... TC3052100B.temp\BDPlayerSetup_Patch.vbs
    I already deleted the old driver and don't have any restore point....
    All rest of the operations run smoothly...
    But how to handle this situation????
    And i want my disk drive to function...
    Thanks so much in advance,
    Kaspars

    > After downloading bluray driver as recommended by Toshiba notifier, i have trouble installing it.
    Toshiba notifier? You mean Toshiba Tempro software
    I have no idea what notebook model you have and if your notebook was equipped with an Toshiba Bluray drive but I guess you get this error appears because your notebook isnt blu-ray capable and the Toshiba Blu-ray player isnt preinstalled.
    The point why you got this notification is simple: there are different notebooks with different hardware configurations. But the Toshiba tempro does not recognize if your notebook needs this software. Tempro shows you the drivers/tools/utilities which were released for the whole notebook series and were uploaded to the Toshiba driver page.

  • Share files on Time Capsule with wireless Blu Ray player?

    We're looking at getting a Blu Ray player with built in wireless to take advantage of Amazon Prime streaming and Hulu Plus. Star Trek; TNG remastered on Bl Ray also promped me in this decision!
    We already have an AppleTV and tried jailbreaking to get access to Hulu and Amazon, but the hack caused numerous issues, so back to stock it went.
    I have also started ripping all of my DVDs and importing them into iTunes, but with a baby in the house it's REALLY an issue to always have a laptop open and running whenever we want to watch one of our movies. I've looked at a number of Blu Ray players that include DLNA capabilities, plus file sharing via SMBA and UPNP. My question is, will the Time Capsule serve up those files to the player? I tried DLNA shares directly through our Samsung HDTV before and it just did not work.
    Does anyone have experience with a make/model of Blu Ray player playing nicely with a Time Capsule and/or an additional storage device attached to a Time Capsule?
    I have also read that I absolutely, positively do NOT want to go wireless, but to use Ethernet instead. Our TV is clear on the other side of the house from the modem/Time Capsule so I'd have to pull at least 100 feet of cable to make that happen. I don't think there's any conduit into the attic at the front of the house either, since the cable box comes in in from the exterior wall, so it could be a real job. Any thoughts on that?

    There are no media players in the TC whatsoever.. it is completely dumb box.. and is unsuitable as a media centre.. it is not even a file store, as it has no way to back itself up.. it is a backup target for Time Machine.
    If you want DLNA you need to run a computer of some sort and use a player that can read the files and play them directly.. ie no streaming.
    On the wireless to other side of the house, I do think you will have issues. Ethernet is still far superior solution and if you own the house consider it an investment in future usage.
    But for now Ethernet Over Power adapters can offer superior performance to wireless and far better reliability. They are not without issues, so buy from store that offers no questions asked return.. and don't bother too much with super fast ones.. the 200mbit/s are already well above what is reality. You cannot use them on power boards generally so you also might need to think of ways around that.
    If you do get stuck with wireless the TC is slow.. 2.4ghz is only 130mbps.. and range is not great. I would recommend a different device like ubiquiti router that offers high power and long range.

  • Samsung Blu-Ray player, Airport Extreme network, and streaming Netflix

    I am very frustrated. Can you help? My husband just purchased a Samsung Blu-Ray BD-P3600 player and TV. I have read all of the forums on trying to connect this to an Airport Extreme network. After several days of trying different options, I still can not get the Blu-Ray player to connect to my network and be able to stream Netflix. The only way that I have gotten close is through the wireless connection devise and putting in the IP address etc. When doing a network test, if checks the MAC Address and the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS Server. It then pauses for a long time and tells me that the Gateway Ping won't work. It says, "Your network cannot operate properly." I have not had any trouble connecting any computers or printers to the network. Why can I not get this to work? Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I know just enough to be dangerous. Thank you!

    Hi - I found this on CNET but not a techie so not sure if this will work - I have Airport Extreme & just bought 2 Samsung Blu-Ray BD-P3600 players to use w/NetFlix and have called Samsung tech support 3 times w/no luck - the last time the technician said that Apple/Samsung WIFI not compatible - I have a 13 character pswd so that my roommate who has a PC can connect - we don't have any problems with any other connections to Airport Extreme -
    Post today from CNET discussion on same topic:

    found this about setting up a psp with airport should help:
    "Apple does not mandate that your WEP password is the correct length. In the real world of WEP (non Apple devices) they actually require that your WEP key is a specified length dependent on the bit level of encryption. If you are using HEX or ASCII encoding these passwords can get as high as 26 to 40 characters long. Yea, thats a long pass code! Your Mac sitting in your house doesn't care about all that mumbo jumbo. You can put any old password in the AirPort Admin utility and it will take it.
    I learned over at Gaming-Age that I could get away with a 13 character WEP Key. You should, however, stick with 128 bit WEP as this is better protection, and works well with the PSP (I run my AirPort Express in 802.11b/g Compatible Mode). Once you set your WEP key and update your AirPort you can setup your PSP. Now just setup your PSP for Wi-Fi Infrastructure mode"
    and this:
    The trick is that to use the hexadecimal key with an Apple AirPort Card, you must enter a dollar-sign before the hex number, like

  • Encoded video doesn't work on Toshiba Blu-ray disc player

    I have a problem that I am trying to encode a sequence of frames in a video container , but the encoded video doesn't work on toshiba blu ray disc player .. I am using the following ffmpeg command to encode frames and convert them to a video:
    ffmpeg -i "C:\ManVsWigan\Frames\%d.png" -vcodec libx264 "C:\ManVsWigan\encoded.mp4"
    I tried multiple video codecs but no luck yet
    "-vcodec mpeg4"
    "-vcodec mpeg2video"
    If you have any idea please help me

    The BluRay player leverages parts of Windows DirectShow but won't serve very well as a general player since Windows will load other players for the majority of media formats.
    You can get away with a limited amount of tampering of the BluRay's players tolerance of media files until you violate some far away written DRM safeguard and kneecapping the BluRay player from doing anything.
    If you're trying to validate your ffmpeg composed tests of your content as part of the editing process, you're better to avoid relying on the BluRay player that is purposed for narrow replay of licensed content and equipped with oversensitive safeguards susceptible to malfunctioning from the invasions of video pirates like you defined by studio executives.
    You and I understand you're not a pirate but chances aren't being taken.
    Whether you just dowloaded FFmep in the macho exe format or part of the millions of other packages that include it, you can tune your players to codecs pretty easily with the KLite Codec Manager or the Registry.
    Chances are you already know about KLite since editing video on Windows eventually requires it and its hard to walk down the street without eventually kiceking over a copy. But just in case you've been living on a Martian cave with your hands over your ears, snag a mirrored copy from: http://codecguide.com /download_kl.htm
    I like KLite more than others because it is fairly unobtrusive and avoids stomping over other media tools the way Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas enslaves Windows and can neuter BluRay codecs without always adequately replacing them. I can cite threads on the matter but just googling for anything such as "Adobe Premier killed my BluRay" or "Sony Vegas ruined Windows" will usually return desperate strings of posts long enough to wrap around Jupiters equator.
    For general maintenance of Windows poor codec management, grab this noninstalling executable http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html to determine if Windows believes it has the same codecs you thought it did and you'll likely be surprised by the fine tuning you'll need to perform.

  • TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player not compatible with USB speakers

    I have a P850, using Logitch Z305 USB speakers. The speakers work fine with all other multimedia software such as WMP, iTunes or MPC, but not with TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player. The Toshiba program either won't work or will crash if the speakers are plugged in. Is anyone aware of a way to fix this?
    Thanks

    This Logitech speakers are plug and play device that uses standard driver and are installed as any other plug and play device. I dont have it but I saw interesting movie on You Tube about it.
    To be honest I dont understand why it cannot works with TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player. I think you are the first one who has reported about this issue.
    Problem is that Toshiba doesnt support third part software or hardware so it is not easy to find solution for this.
    I really hope there are other users who have fixed it or can offer some useful tip for this pretty strange issue.

  • How do I program my remote to work for my satellite and Blu Ray player?

    I recently purchased the 55 in LED Toshiba tv model number 42SL417U and I am having trouble finding the instructions on how to program it to work with my Sony Blu Ray player and Satellite. I went to product support and could not find a topic on how to program the remote. 

    Information on how to program your remote is available on page 79 of your user's guide.
    The TV also has CEC functionality to control other CEC-enabled, HDMI-connected devices. More information about this is on page 19 of the user's guide.

  • Satellite L850 - need to change the ODD to Blu-Ray player

    Hi,
    My wife wants to use her laptop L850 to watch movies.
    But most of our videos at home are Blu-Ray format.
    Can I change the DVD player for a Blu-Ray player.
    If yes which model or specifications should I look for ?
    And will I need new drivers that may or not be easily available ?
    We are taking the train in two weeks, so if someone can help me,
    I would have time to do the change before we travel.

    No you cannot.
    You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer.  You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

  • What do I need besides my HD camcorder to get a Blu Ray disc

    I want a Sony HDR SR12.  If I buy this what else do I need to end up with a Blu-Ray disc of my movies?
    I guess my question is: Do I need a Blu-Ray burner to get a blu-ray disc or will my regular dVD burner give me the Blu Ray disc?
     Can I get Blu Ray burners that connect directly to my camcorder? I thought at the store they had one but cannot find it online.
    I know I need the software, an HDTV and a Blu Ray player.
    Help. I'm so frustrated.

    My previous reply got deleted for referencing a BB competitor (even though I was reccommending AGAINST going to said competitor as their Blu-Ray drive is more expensive than other vendors even after a 20% going-out-of-business sale).
    I don't know if there are BR burners that connect directly to your camera.  Most likely it will be rather expensive and less flexible than a PC-based solution.
    An internal SATA PC-based Blu-Ray drive (for desktops, not laptops) will run you $200-220 or so.  Don't pay more than this, at least not for the most common burners on the market at the moment such as the LG GGW-H20L.  If you have a laptop you'll need to find an external BR burner, or buy an internal burner and a separate 5.25" USB-to-SATA enclosure (to make it an external drive).
    You will get FAR more flexibility with a PC-based burner than with a camera-based unit.  That said, editing HD video on a slow PC can be an unpleasant task.  It's possible but it'll be a slow process.
    Also, in the interim, you can burn a Blu-Ray file structure to a DVD, and nearly all Blu-Ray players will treat it as if it were a Blu-Ray.  Since single-layer DVDs only hold 4.7GB and single-layer BR holds 25GB, you will be very limited as to how much video you can fit.  (15-20 minutes depending on quality most likely.  A bit more if you downscale to 720P.)

  • Can't connect wireless blu ray player

    I've been using verizon DSL for about 5 years now.  I have a Versalink 327W that was provided by Verizon.  I've been pretty happy with the service, experiencing only a few glitches that were easily fixed.  But I haven't been pushing it hard.  I have a couple of desktops both wired to the Versalink by ethernet.  The versalink provides internet access to the two computers, and file and printer sharing as well.
    Now I have a problem.  I recently bought a Sony Blu Ray player  (model BDP-BX57) with built in wireless.  No matter what I do, wireless connection fails.  I've ruled out SSID and WEP key problems.  The Blu Ray sees the Versalink with its SSID, and can't connect even if I set the Versalink to open.  For what it's worth, if I plug the blu ray into the versalink with ethernet, that works, and I can access the internet.
    That solution won't work for me in use.  I need wireless.
    Reading various entries in this forum and other places, I see that some people need to update the firmware in their Versalink.  Do I need to do this?  Is it going to help?  Am I just going to have to upgrade my router/modem or my DSL service later on?
    Also, looking at the steps needed to update the firmware, it looks error prone to me.  What's my fall back if things go wrong due to either my error or Verizon's?  I don't want to be without service for a long time while Verizon gets me a new router/modem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This problem has been solved.
    The solution turned out to be to upgrade the firmware inside the "Residential Gateway"  (aka router/modem)  provided by Verizon.  The gateway is a Westell 327W  of the A90 vintage.  The firmware it contained didn't work for wireless connections.
    After finding a Verizon site that provides firmware for downloading, and satisfying myself that this site was on the up and up, I finally ventured to download and install the new firmware.  if you are interested in downloads from Verizon, start at download.verizon.net and navigate your way to the download you are loking for.  There may be a link from My Verizon to this download area, but I sure couldn't find it. 
    The firmware is now at rev 4.04.03.00.  And the gateway now supports wireless connections.
    Thanks for all your responses, and a special thanks to some contributors to old discussions in dslreports where the solution was outlined.
    The next problem to deal with is going to be slow speed.  I'll start a new topic.
