I would imagine the number of users against the cost of maintaining the
code base and/or supporting the users has proven to be not sustainable
within the metrics that Netflix/Samsung wish to pay.

So, I can't imagine anything can be done.

Yeah, apart from buying a newer Blu-Ray player I wouldn't think
there's anything that could be done. Netflix would probably say
it's uneconomical to support every single device out there.
