VLC won't play all encrypted blu-ray discs without some addons.
Does Windows Media Center have any known issues?
WMC does not support Blu-ray playback. You would have to get something like PowerDVD (as Janus suggested). PowerDVD does integrate in WMC though.
Thanks.
So nothing out there that's free...? What's the cheapest option out there for me? They have a few different packages.
Fixed!Hey Godm@n how come you don't have a decennial badge under your avatar? Seems to me you've been here more than 10 years and yet you don't have one! I'd complain to management.
It's pathetic really. I bought a Blu-Ray player earlier this year thinking there was something I could download. Nope, doesn't exist. Tis a bunch of poo.Also, as was mentioned, there is no free Bluray playback software. They've got it locked down. Most packaged Bluray drives come with a software player packaged with them but if you just bougtht a bare drive you're going to have to buy a player at Best Buy or something.
What Blu-Ray player did you purchase. If you buy a Blu-Ray player what do you look for so it can be updated?It's pathetic really. I bought a Blu-Ray player earlier this year thinking there was something I could download. Nope, doesn't exist. Tis a bunch of poo.
Bah, wouldn't want one. I have a sizable list of modern PC games I don't even have time to play. Why buy more games for a console I also won't have time to play?
BRD player with WiFi can be had on ebay for $70'ish. PS3s go for $175+ it seems.

Going to be hard finding one for free that can play BD, but Totalmedia Theater does the job too but not cheap, PowerDVD is the other option. Best just get a standalone DVD player for $50 than a $100 BD drive and a $80-100 BD software. lol my mother bought one for $56 and it can play Netflix.
Here's something I've been considering getting for my HTPC laptop but it doesn't say if it includes any software for playback.
