But let's try the usual first. Put the device into the DMZ entry as well as turn off the router's firewall. I've discussed this before but have to keep this short as the goal of most folk is to get it working.
For example, you didn't reveal what didn't work. We know the Samsung servers go down (in spite of their claims they don't) so with only what you supplied I suggest you try the usual.
1. Put it into the router DMZ entry.
2. Turn off the router firewall.
3. Use the Google DNS entries.
4. If on WiFi drop the distances to 20 feet or get wired.
I have a lot more Samsung tips, even ones that the Ambassador has never heard of over in the CNET Networking forum.

I just want to get in depth on how forwarding a port on a specific device (Samsung Blu-ray Player) works? I am trying to connect my Blu-ray to the Internet and I just want to know if forwarding a port for my Blu-ray will make any difference.
