A new version of the software for LG’s BD370-P Networked BluRay player finally fixes the “There may be Network Congestion” error when trying to access YouTube.
Version 7.141.01.26 of the software is available to download from the Setup > Others > Software Update menu on your BD730-P as of tonight. Users can now access YouTube even behind a router, and can log in to access any YouTube favourites they have bookmarked. No new drivers have been released alongside this software update, but you should check for them anyway, especially if you have not updated for a while.
The only thing lacking now is the ability to play the HQ / HD versions of a video where present. Setting HD as the default in YouTube and even adding the video as a favorite while playing the HD version has no effect on the LG B370-P itself. If anyone finds a way to do this, please leave a comment.
hi my BD360 says ” there may be network congestion.” i was wondering how o get online with it? thanks.
Hi Eric, I was experiencing the same problem with my LG BD360 which I bought in Dec 2009. I followed the instructions for updating the software, as has been posted for the LG BD370-P. The software updated no problem, and resolved the ”There may be network congestion” error message issue. I can now view Youtube videos. I used a LAN cable from my router to my LG blue Ray Player. I already had a connection to by BT vision set top box, so it was a simple matter of disconnecting from this and connecting to the blueray player. I hope this helps. Regards. Mike
hi guys, I can’t get youtube working.
I’m getting ” there may be network congestion.” as well. I can’t download the software update though…it comes up with “retry after checking the network condition” As far as I can tell it’s all working?? If I unplug the lead it come up that the network is disconnected.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
darren
Try connecting directly to the Internet instead of through a router?
