The update process went ok, flashing finished with no (obvious) errors.<\/p>\n<p>Today my wife told me that the device suddenly doesn&#8217;t play any DVDs any longer. They screen just stayed white, without the DVD being played. Also, some videos from my NAS don&#8217;t play anymore via DLNA.<\/p>\n<p>I called LG support in Germany, but they&#8217;re not yet aware that the latest firmware seems to break things. They made me aware that on their website there&#8217;s still an old version available, but at the same time they said their technicians say you can&#8217;t downgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Before I would send back the player to Amazon (it&#8217;s only one month old), I tried whether you can downgrade the firmware anyway &#8212; and yes, you <em>can<\/em>. After I downgraded from the bad version <code>BD3.412.40122.C<\/code> to the older version available on LG&#8217;s site (<code>BD2.817.30806.C\/Date:2013.08.19<\/code>) all was fine again.<\/p>\n<p>So, beware before you upgrade to said version. I would definitely wait until a more recent version becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG BluRay player firmware upgrade broke things, downgraded to fix it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[106],"class_list":["post-548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-consumer-electronics","tag-bluray-players"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":550,"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548\/revisions\/550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bergs.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
