Samsung has released a firmware update for its BD-UP5000 player. The v1.5 update comes almost after one and a half year and promises to improve “playback compatibility in some movies”. Needless to say, it refers to the Avatar Blu-ray playback issue that was non-playable due to the new encryption scheme.

The update is just over 30MB and can be downloaded from the link below.
