I have just got a synology ds411+ and having the same issue with this sony s570, i am very disappointed, the player will not stream avi or divx in any resolution that i have tried it just says corrupt or unsupportable file format. changing the file extension to .mpg didnt work either. sony have failed with this device i thought my extra pounds were getting me something special ie connectivity and the ability to stream content if i wanted. the fact that the files i have will play via the usb stick adds salt in the wound.

I simply renamed my xvid movie which usually has a .avi file extension to a .mpg file extension. Low and behold, the blu-ray player played it just fine with no conversion necessary. Surprise! (rolls eyes...)

This did not work for me using the Windows Media Center.Hope it works for others.

Very Very frustrating. I also upgraded to this unit based on the advice of the store salesperson because I wanted to be able to stream movies.

I am serving files via a Synology NAS, model # DS210J. I could not view or play .MKV or M4V video files on the BD player. My solution (after many hours of hair-pulling) was to change the video file name extension from .MKV to .MPG and the 720P video files would be recognized by the Sony and play correctly. I hope this helps.

I can't even get this thing to recognize basic .mp3 files. It gives me the "no playable files" from both the usb and cd. What a piece of crap when it won't perform basic functions like playing .mp3's.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I have this player, and yes, it does support DLNA.. I am able to stream videos from my computer to the unit over my home network easily. I also have a hdhomerun, but I have not tried linking to that device w/ the kdlinks, so can't help you there...

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

It plays on mine with no problem! What I suggest you to do is to try playing the same stick on some other equipment such as Car USB port or just a regular computer.If it does play then its a faulty player you got but if it does not play anywhere else then the problem is with the stick it self.Does the SD card with the same MP3'S playing on this unit?

It does have a USB port.... but all the AVI & mp3 & mp4 files that i compress plays on this Phillips DVP3880K All Region player. So far there is no problem with it...& i hope it stays that way. Im waiting for my SONY DVD Burner i purchased last week & hope it arrives tomorrow. But UPS says by weeks end at the 20th of Sept. As i mentioned this player has a USB port, but never tried to use it yet to play files from another USB drive & get it recognized. Cordially, Chas.DeQ.

I just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

I never have such a problem with my player. The Stephen`suggestion is one of the possible causes. Other alternatives are, update the firmware of the player by internet or if your player cannot access internet, download the update file to a pen drive in a computer connected to internet then update from the pen drive. Finally if the issue still persits, contact the Sony Support.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

Most likely because the Sony player is an older model that does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW disks. I have a Sony DVP-S7000 (first Sony DVD player) and it does not play DVD-R or DVD-RW, but my Sony Playstation 2 does. Check your manual if it says anything about it being able to play the writable formats. This information will also usually be indicated on the face plate of the unit, if it can play the additional formats in addition to the standard DVD format.

Im not happy at all with the sony bdp-s570 and my Sony BRAVIA KDL32EX720 32-Inch 1080p 3D LED HDTV; TRON 3d won't play despite the most recent M04firmware update for the bdp player and a highspeed 2.0 hdmi cable....i followed all the instructions here on amazaon and elsewhere. yup, i can see Sony 3dexperience content in 3d. The glasses are the Sony TDG-BR250/B rechargeables. I don't get it - why will the TRON 3d Blu-ray refuse to play, after displaying thedisney castle? ? ? Im not the 1st with this problem of course. And no, i don't have a receiver in between the blu-ray and tv that needs firmware updating.

The 3DPlayer currently supports the following file formats. Video: wmv, avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, mkv, rmvb, rm and flv. Photo: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, and bmp . Newest version of VMP supports MPO and a registered user can upgrade directly from VMP. Once VMP is launched go to "About" and tap on "update". Notes on SmartCard and USB In addition to SDHC cards (32GB max, 4GB max file size), it reads SDXC (&gt;32GB, no file size limit) and exFAT/NTFS formatted cards, e.g. with Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro-SD card (exFAT), and 2GB card formatted with NTFS. Works well for large videos from Bluray-3D. NOTE: Very large 3D movie files placed in the card root may cause a crash so place them in a folder. They will however work either way in 2D. The USB port reads 128GB USB Flash pen using an adapter. I don't know about avchd but the player is continually being updated.

I don't think there's a way to stream video from a computer; pretty sure I have heard that from several sources, including the manual. The player just doesn't have software to do that. It seems (for video playback) to require discs that are finalized in DVD, BD or 'avchd' video format; it won't even play videos off the USB drive, which I'm rather disappointed about.

I have tried to play all types of vides formats through my LG TVs and dvd player usb ports but they will cannot recognise any files on this drive. What am I doing wrong here? I have formatted the device, there is no software installed on it. Playback works fine on my laptop and galaxy tab. :-(

Skipping back and forth doesn't work well over DLNA. My Blu-ray player supports that, but it takes longer to figure out the skip location and advance the video stream than the time of the skip. I'm happier with my WD without DLNA. I do wish it could skip 30 seconds, and I'm going to explore if that is possible with wdlxtv firmware.

I just bought a 3D TV (Samsung PN59D550). I have the Sony bdp-s570 plugged directly into the TV via HDMI, and when I tried to play Bolt 3D, I get the black screen with the message that the set up is not 3D capable and that I should ensure that my blu ray player is hooked up to a 3D capable device via HDMI. I don't get it. Any one else have any suggestions on how to make this work? I don't want to go buy another Blu Ray player, but I am thinking of buying a Samsung BluRay player to ensure compatibility between the two. This is frustrating.
