Anybody here tried the Inception BD with the C5500 and experienced any audio drop-outs, audio sync, skipping and freezing issues?

Upgraded my firmware to version 1021 (I think) last nite. I didn't see any differences in terms of performance though. Looked pretty much the same for me.

I saw the next gen of Samsung BD Players in 1U earlier. Selling price of the basic 5300 model is 899. Didn't check out the specs, but I noticed its got built-in wifi already.

No issues with bluray or mkv files. No issues with subtitles also. My mkv's play normally similar to my media player. I dont have mp4 files.

Although I found a problem with the new firmware update, for some reason the Facebook app was deleted from in the Internet TV. I dont use it anyhow, so its not really an issue for me.

1. The same thing happens with my unit. There is a 1-2 sec pause before mkv playback (in fact the tv says 'no signal received' at this point of time), then the playback resumes. I'm not sure if its a problem or not, but I've lived with it.

2. That's strange, my unit came w/ a free HDMI cable. Did you get a brand new, sealed unit? Please check with the store you bought it from.

Agree, Samsung's Youtube app sucks. Its search is not as extensive and precise as doing it on a PC. It returns a very limited number of hits also. I hope there's an upgrade for it.

I own the older model (C5500). I dont think it plays mkv files flawlessly. I have some mkv files which doesnt play at all, but I can play them without any issues in my NMT. I guess the BD player cannot play mkv files with certain encoding or compressed headers, unlike the NMT which can handle everything. Maybe you can try to re-encode your mkv's, but you need to check with other forumers how to go about doing this. Or maybe a firmware upgrade can do.

I wish the latest firmware improved the playability of the player's supported video files (mkv's for instance).

I use a 3.5" external hdd. What is the file format of the movie size you are referring to? If its BD-ISO or BDMV, then its not supported.
