Does this happen with just rental Blu-rays, or all of them?

It depends which Blu Ray player you have. My Pioneer is very sensitive to any marks on discs, so I can only play new, or as new discs, so no rental discs for me.

Only thing to do is update your firmware to the latest one, and only play scratch and finger print free discs.

So as yet we have no idea what discs you are having issues with.

 

So general fixes update your firmware. Make sure the disc is not damaged.

 

Or just provid more info on what the discs are that you are having isusses with then people can see if they are ones that are known to have problems or if they had the same problems how they fixed t.

 

All I can say is that I have not had anny issues with any discs.

You're very lucky, I had so many problems I've pretty much given up on Blu-ray.

Exactly the same issue reported above, random freezing, even on totally spotless, scratch free disks, on a Blu-ray player with the latest software. Not impressed.

It drove me so mad that on more than one occasion I've nearly ripped the BDP out of the rack and thrown it out of the window. It's fine with DVDs, so that's what I'm sticking with for now.

I'm another one of the lucky ones - never had any issues playing any Blu-rays (apart from a couple from Lovefilm which were covered in fingerprints!).

Am now desperately touching any wood I can find Laughing
