Hacking a Bluray player - Off-topic

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows/has been able to load additional software onto Bluray players that come preloaded with just once program.
I got a player that has Vudu preinstalled on it, and was wondering if it is possible to somehow install Netflix on it.
Thanks

Does anybody has problems with WMP 10?

Hi, let me ask you guys a question. Does anybody of you guys that have upgraded it to Windows Media Player 10, have any problems running it?. I been having problems when I open certain files, specially WMV and MP3, I though it was maybe a corrupt codec or something, but I recently did a fresh install of the Windows Media Edition 2005 on my laptop, and its been doing the same thing. It sucks cause I can't use the media player as I would want too. the files even play on my MDAII but the player crashes on my PC when I play these files!. I tried to find the solution, but I don't really know what's doing that, I even tried to run the Kazaa lite Mega codec pack, to see if it was a missing codec or something, same thing. Anybody has the same problems?, and/or have any solutions?

No problems so far Bro as a matter of fact I use WMP for loads of medias even DivX for example without having to install any third party codecs.
My guess is as good as yours - reinstall WMP10.
wmp 10 seems to have just ****ed my comp over all together!
Yo Yorch,
did u manage to fix your problem with wmp10?? because i got the same thing happening to mine..
Sounds like you either have a corrupted module in your graphics card drivers, your DirectX installation is a little screwy (Windows Media Player will try and use both to hardware-accelerate video decoding), or your Windows Media installation has gone a little screwy.
Either or. Maybe all three. I hate WMP10, I've so far avoided using it on my PC and I'm sticking with WMP9 for the time being - I still use Media Player 6.4 for all my proper video watching though
If you're having problems with codecs, it sounds actually like there could be a problem with your codec store too. You shouldn't use those codec packs, they clutter up your PC with WAY too many useless codecs, they install so many different filters and third party decoders your machine WILL (and does) slow down from parsing them all, adding their entries into the registry, loading them, registering them... Zzz. Best to keep your installations to a minimum, and use something like VLC - which uses the opensource ffmpeg and other free, opensource decoding classes to decode pretty much anything that's thrown at it. http://videolan.org to download that (it's a totally brilliant piece of software if all else fails, at least as a temporary workaround until you get your WMP problem fixed).
Of course, you still have Media Player Classic as another option too, google for that one.

DVD Digital Copy on Wing

Has anyone attempted to copy over a digital copy of the movie that comes on the new DVDs onto their device? Windows Media Player/TCPMP will not play the DVDs. TCPMP makes loud chirping noises and then stops, and WMP just instantly skips the file.
I suspect is has something to do with the DRM. Is there a way that we can upgrade the DRM drivers for WMP mobile? Or does anyone know of any work arounds?
Am I the only one experiencing this problem, or has no one gotten one of these DVDs to try with? Are that many people just downloading their movies illegally, now?

Windows Media Player Problems

Ever since I upgraded(yeah right..) to Windows Mobile 6.1 I cant play videos through windows media player. On 6.0 I used to watch MPEG-4, and ASF videos all the time. Since I upgraded though WMP wont play MP4 videos, and ASF playback is so choppy its impossible to watch. What can I do to fix this without installing another media player application?
Custom rom or stock rom?
Carrier branded device, or unlocked htc device?
Edit:
Actually, how about you give us as much details as you can about your device and what you've tried so far
Im using the official Windows 6.1 rom on an ATT Tilt w/o any other apps running. The MPEG files I used to play on my phone before were no longer supported by WMP. I tried re-encoding the files and that didnt work. I tried lowering the quality and that hadnt worked. I searched google and saw that WMP only supported mp3 and ASF files so I encoded the video as an ASF and that worked but playback was extremely choppy. I cant really think of anything else to do so I came on here.

Ok OK....What I want to know is how the hell did you get WMP to play it before????????? WMP doesn't play MP4 never did. Anyway, If you can play the videos you have on the Desktop Windows Media Player, hook up your, open Desktop WMP, hit Sync Tab, Sync your phone(and/or Storage card), select the video to sync list, and sync. Desktop version will convert for mobile version. If you can't play the videos in Desktop Media Player then you'll have convert the video in something it can play. TCPMP and Coreplayer are way better, but I use Media from time to time.

Netflix

I did a search and can't find any threads on Netflix. I saw an ad on TV that they now offer on line streaming of movies...has anyone tried this on a tilt? For $4.99 that seems like a better deal than buying movies and downloading them on to the SD?
I watch streaming movies on my laptop using my Tilt as the modem, but I don't think there's a way to get it to work on a Windows Mobile device directly as you have to install a small activex app on your actual PC (it intregrates into windows media player) and then you watch streaming movies that way.
PS there is a way to download movies from your PC, remove the DRM from them, and then convert them to play on your Tilt. I won't go into that here, but if you google you will find info on how to do that.
That's too bad...I'm surprised somebody hasn't figured out a way to do it yet as that would be pretty popular.
Does anyone know if the WM Windows Media Player plays DRM encrytped files?

Sony Movies - any good?

Which file formats are supported by Sony Movies? It can not play popular movie file formats, it seems.
Any recommendations for a better alternative? I am not looking for one which has the most features or the fanciest, but easy of use, low resources usage, and popular file formats support.
All right, I found this somewhere: MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV player.
It does not play my *.wmv. My version is 5.0.A.08. I'll try another one.
I find movies plays all my files, however, you can try
MXPlayer
or
VLC player
I settled for the VLC player. Thanks! After I installed it, it recognized and played my video files instantly and before even rebooting,
VLC
So I found that VLC is called a beta but it works actually reliable. It plays not only videos but also music. It has a real interface which is similar to many other newer Android apps, and it has real settings, such as to define the media directories. I hope the release edition will not go the way of a heavy pig, as some other Android apps did.
Deleted Movies and Walkman from my phone.
Thanks again for the advice, Greg. Getting more familiar with things.
