Unable to play Ponyo Blu Ray on Vizio player
Got this one in early February ( model vbr100), never had a issue with any disc or dvd, until today, rented ponyo ( no scratches on disc), and it would play all trailers, up to the main menu, selected play movie and that's it, went to a black screen and no further. Updated the firmware, same thing. Its not a wait for it load issue as I let it sit 15 minutes and nothing.
Wondering if its just a disc, as I have not had any issues with any other blu rays we have rented or purchased.

Try selecting a Scene (like scene 1). I'm having the same issue with Ponyo on my Insignia.

I have the same problem. I just play it with the "Disc Introduction - Meet Ponyo" and skip to the next chapter. I've never had a problem with any other disc either. :/

There really should be a sticky thread for "Known Blu disc issues/glitches" like we have over at CAG. I'm sure Ponyo will play, but I ran into a similar situation with Pineapple Express on my PS3.

choosing the scene trick did work, but I think I may be taking this back and exchanging it for another brand, there are other things I have not been happy with, and I shouldn't have to fight with it. But we'll see.

Get a Sony, LG or Panasonic. Those three have been pretty good on playing titles.

The WiFi version (model is in my signature). A firmware update will come out eventually to fix it, since Disney and Fox are always mucking with things on the discs.

My DVD player is a Toshiba and it played everything I threw at it. My Panasonic BD player, so far, has been the same way. Even out of the box before the latest firmware update I didn't have any problems.

My Sylvania, which doesn't connect to the internet at all, thus making firmware updates impossible, has never had problems playing anything. *Shrug*
