I've had that problem with every **DVD player** I've had in the last 20 years.
Power cycling is the only fix.
Two very different things, odds are your DVD players code aren't even written
with a complete C compiler or libraries.
Doesn't matter. It's clear that DVD player software is written by cowboy
programmers who likely believe that it's fine to continue running a program
after it has entered an invalid state, presumably to avoid annoying customers.
Newer DVD/Bluray players have an ethernet port on the back. I'd never connect
such a P.O.S. malware incubator to my LAN.
