This is an issue that has been widely reported on.
Samsung UBD-K8500 players are not reading certain new Discs, supposedly due to an AACS incompatibility, where SAMSUNG NEEDS TO UPDATE THE PLAYER.
"This Disc does not meet specification" - crazy
The most recent update is old now, it doesn't fix anything, we NEED A NEW ONE.
Here are multiple links to people having EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS - just google "ubd k8500 disc does not meet specifications" - it's all there
To be honest, this is really bad of Samsung to just ignore this issue, as we have spent lots of money on a player that literally doesn't play some discs anymore.
PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP

If I’ve recently played Ultra HD it won’t recognise any blu ray disc afterwards. I have to press the stop button on the player for longer than 5 secs to get it to reset to factory settings. I skip connecting to the internet and insert the blu ray and it plays fine.

I have the very same problem Beatles GetBack on Blu Ray won’t work. And it cost me €50.00 all the rest of my discs play.

After testing many discs (both 4K UHD and Blu-ray), I've discovered that newer Fox Blu-ray releases are the ones most likely to generate the "disc does not meet specifications" error. My new 'Avatar: The Way of Water' 4K UHD plays fine on this player, but the player rejects the Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D versions of the same title. It also rejected 'Mommie Dearest' Blu-ray and several other Fox titles. The player needs a firmware update, obviously, which Samsung seems unwilling to provide. I have tried doing a factory reset of the player, prohibited BD-Live, and even turned off wireless altogether -- I still get a "disc does not meet specifications" error on these newer Fox Blu-ray titles.
