Install wireshark, set your PC to a static IP address (192.168.1.111 for example), and connect just the m300 and your PC to a switch. The m300 should send out packets continuously looking for a k server and thus reveal its IP address in wireshark.
Once you figure out the IP address and sub-net that the m300 is on, plug everything back into your main switch and change your k server and PC to a static address on that same sub-net. Once everything resets, the m300 should register with the k server. At that point you should be able to re-configure it back to DHCP from the k server web interface (settings> components> settings> network). After you verify that the m300 is set back on DHCP, reset your k server and PC back to DHCP also.

I'm a mac user, found IP by from web interface using: http://(IP of server)/lskd.html
Got it changed to HDCP with web interface, thanks.

If you know the IP address of the player (which you found via the lskd.html page), you can also reset the network settings via a control protocol command by connecting to the player's IP on port 10000 via telnet or netcat (e.g. "nc 192.168.1.111 10000") and issuing the following command:
01/1/SET_NETWORK_SETTINGS:0::::::
This sets the network configuration back to DHCP. It must be all caps and the number of colons is important.
On a side note, there is definitely a network reset pinhole on the back of the M300 and always has been. Are you sure that you received an M300? It sounds more like you have a 1080p Mini Player (KPLAYER-300) rather than an M300 (KPLAYER-M300).
If you look at this page https://www.kaleidescape.com/m300-movie-player/) and scroll down to the picture of the back of the unit, you'll see the network pinhole between the composite video out and the analog audio ouput connectors. Notice also that the analog connections are all using RCA-type connectors.
On the other hand, if you look at the back of a 1080p Mini Player (https://www.kaleidescape.com/wp-content/uploads/Kaleidescape-1080p-Mini-Player.pdf - page 2), you'll see that there is no network pinhole. Notice that the analog connections are all using BNC-type connectors.

You are right it is a 1080P mini player-300, I did not know there was a mini player another than the M300 so I figured it was the M300. I was able to reset with web interface.It looks like the 1080P mini player plays only DVD's, no BLU-RAY movies show up on the onscreen interface.
That is correct. The 1080p Mini Player cannot play Blu-ray content. It can only play DVDs and DVD Quality downloads but it will upscale them to 1080p.

Yep, you need the M-series (M300, M500, M700) for BluRay. Non-M models are DVD only.
