Technical Issues and Questions

I couldn’t care less about the ads—I accept they’re a necessary evil—but for the past few days the “checking you’re a human” infinite loop has reared its head again. I can access the board via Tapatalk (as I’m doing now), but I much prefer proper typing to doing it on a phone.

Are you using Safari?

Yes, and it's working now.

So I ended up getting the Panny UB820 and the first UHD I tried to watch, Kino‘s Nostalghia, which looked stunning, began to skip around an hour and a half in. It played fine on my UB420. Does this mean I received a bad player or can this be fixed?

EDIT: I thought it was a smudge on the disc, which I cleaned off (it was barely visible) and then the movie appeared to play fine. But tonight it happened again with another brand-new disc, no smudges. It was after about an hour and 15 minutes. Stopping the disc and restarting fixed it for like 10-15 minutes. Clearly this isn't a disc issue. The player seems to be overloading or something. Seriously frustrating.

My first UB820 was bought open box was Richer Sounds. It was a complete dud that wouldn't read any discs. They replaced it with a brand new one, as they had no others in a similar condition nationwide. Had zero player-specific problems with that one in a year since.

I'd probably want to test the discs in another drive though, as I have had consecutive brand new Blu-rays fresh out the shrinkwrap be faulty before.
