seems I've read conflicting reviews of Samsung's line; can anyone confirm that this player will support DivX (from USB)? ...Amazon content streamed?

Hello Alex, Even with slower class 4 SD card still generated fast enough transfer rate (read/write) to play back a HD video. The one I used is SanDisk ultra 64GB class 10 I bought it from amazon, it work just fine. I have noted that way back when I downloaded more than a dozen of free apps from google play store based on rating and testing them to see which one work best and found out that many media (video) player program are in premature development stage, their playback are sluggish and freezing all the time, few others are just ok because they are too simple and lacks of features, but the only one I am interested is the MX player, my search ended and this MX player is the only one I using today on my Samsung s3 cellphone and my new Samsung tab 3 I just bought from amazon. regardless HD or SD the playback is flawlessly with this MX player. I think before you spend more money for faster SD card may be you should download and try this MX player to see if the poor video playback problem solved if not then switch to faster class10 SD memory card. Remember after you download and open the player for the first time, it may prompt to download CODE for the MX player to work properly. Once the player open, select a file you want to play them then go-to setting by select tool/setting/decoder and place check marks on all those check box that uses H/W+ decoder, then you are done and all of your video now should playback smoothly. By the way I had been using this MX player for the past 2 plus years until today. I hope this help and good luck!

Would love for this to happen. Browsing through the "Ask & Answer" section on LG site (http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-47LM6700-led-tv), it looks like the app for Amazon VOD was excluded based on decision made by Amazon, not LG. That's really disappointing. I don't want to have to buy Roku to enjoy HD streaming for service I'm already paying... sigh...

I agree with Weld Tech on this.The BD65 is a nice, solid BluRay DISC player, but it has a serious omission with the lack of being able to play files such as DIVX - which is a basic staple in today's market!Since I have had 2 older DVD players which were capable of playing DIVX from disc and/or USB, I never imagined this updated player -- which boasts USB and SD inputs -- would lack basic DIVX capability.This might not be an issue for some, but it would have been a deal-breaker for me. It also greatly reduces the value of this player and makes me question Panasonic products, now.

Yes. But I have experienced some choppiness and stalling on Amazon Instant Video, so I opted for VUDU which works with no issues.

No. The Amazon spp from Samsung will not work as of 6 months ago. Go to Samsungs app site to see if they have reworked it to support this player. I know a lot of people want them to do it.

Joey -I went to the DivX website at http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx, and I don't think it is different than the paid for version, because the trial supposedly runs out after 15 days. Also, one of the early reviewers was upset because it was a crappy quality picture. There is also something called Xvid which is completely free, which I've read in one of the reviews also works on this unit, but I haven't tried it out yet. (I'm self-employed, and if I don't work I don't get paid, so I try not to spend my entire day playing with my toys!)Heidi

I had the same question about my BD-C6500. After scouring the web without finding anything, I e-mailed both Amazon (no info) and Samsung (no reply), then called Samsung, who said that for now only their TV's support Amazon's streaming, but suggested that I keep checking their site for updates; so maybe they have plans in the works to add Blu-rays so they stay competitive with Sony and Panasonic, some of who's models ARE supported? Wish I better better news!

No, it won't play amazon video. You're right, when I tried to download Adobe it says it's not supported on your device

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

You have to use a Sony Blu-ray player or any brand that has a deal with Amazon. Samsung and Amazon seem to NOT play nice together and will likely not come to an agreement anytime soon.

I have played MP4 files on it but not divix.The one I received was a return so I have had problems with it.... I personally do not recommend it unless you really need it for a specific reason. Your better off using a laptop or save up and get a cheap netbook with hdmi out

I had the same exact issue. Everything else with this player has worked flawlessly for me so far. I called Icom's customer service number regarding this. The woman who answered (operator/receptionist) and the man she put me through to (tech guy) were both impatient. They spoke very quickly and sounded frustrated, like they had better things to do. Or as if they thought I was mentally challenged; or speaking in a foreign language. I thought they were a little rude. Anyway, I mentioned as quickly as possible that the USB played Mp3's perfectly fine, but when I tried playing video Mp4 clips, video would show up but no audio. I tried every audio setting imaginable, but still no luck. The tech guy looked into it and after a brief moment came back and said that the mp4 playback doesn't include/allow audio. I told him I thought that was strange and thanked him for his time. So supposedly we cannot get audio with mp4 videos through the USB on this particular player. I tried Jodi Waxman's (other poster who left comment on OP's question) vague advice and came up with nothing. I looked over the manual several times and tried all the audio settings (on the player itself as well as my receiver)... nothing. If someone that reads this had the same issue and can say they get audio with their mp4 video files, I would love to know what they did to get it to work.

According to the Samsung website The Amazon app is not comparable with the BD-E5900 But it is compatible with the BD-E5900 /ZAThat sort of sucks big time. Whats the frigging problem that these two huge companies cant sort this out. My ten dollar used cell phone can run the app why cant a 180 dollar Bluray player...No sense in paying for Amazon prime any more and ...Well My Samsung BD-E5900 is going to Ebay now.

The manual says it will play back Xvid but it does not mention DivX. To be honest, I don't know anything about either of these formats. The manual has about two pages of qualifications as to what will play and what won't. The only sure way is to try it in the player.

There is more information in the owner's manual (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Unassigned-Content/Manuals/AVH-X2600BT+OWNERS+MANUAL), but in a nutshell, it will play DivX format (.avi or .divx), but NOT DivX Ultra, Plus or HD. It will play MPEG1/MPEG2 (.mpg or .mpeg), or MPEG4 (.avi), but will NOT play H.264 (MPEG4-AVC) files. Supported audio in DivX videos is MP2, MP3, AC3 (Dolby Digital), or LPCM. Audio in MPEG videos is MP2 in MPEG1/MPEG2 videos, and MP2, MP3, or AC3, but NOT LPCM in MPEG4 videos.
