Blu Ray and CD discs won't play offline

I raised this in support but thought I'd make people aware of this here as well. Thanks to the current issue surrounding profiles I found Blu Ray and CDs are unplayable offline. Anyone else able to confirm this? Disconnect your Xbox One from any wired
and wireless networks, then try and play a disc. I tried two Rihanna CDs, a Moving Shadow CD, Avengers Assemble and Pandorum Blu Ray. It wouldn't allow me to play them when signed into my profile offline. Instead Xbox One tells me to insert the correct type
of disc. Always online for physical media? WTF?

:)

 

XBOX STATUS ALERT:UK xbox sign in problems,xbox1 doesnt work offline.

You need to disconnect wireless aswell to sign in offline. I found that I cannot play Blu Ray or CD discs without an Internet connection. Like, what?

 

Disc drive

Only with game Discs their is the Problem,with blue Ray and audio cd not.

 

Have you posted anything in the support forums regarding this? Wondering if it has already been addressed?

 

If true i have to say that's really ridiculous and still people defend the always online BS.

 

Yes I have. I added a note to the OP mentioning I have raised this with support.

I am raising this here as I'd like others to test and see if they have the same issue also. If they do then Microsoft are in for serious backlash.

[/quote]Whoops. Sorry about that. Don't know how I missed it on first viewing.

 

Had to check this out...I'd be tweaked if my internet went out and couldn't play my games or AT LEAST watch a movie.

First tried watching without signing in; no problem. Then disconnected the internet; no problem.

The only thing I can think of is your X1 is not setup as your "Home" console.

Peace, J.R.

 

i'll have to try it, its pretty stupid if OP is correct though. my X1 has never had a disc inserted yet lol

 

Try it out. I tried a BluRay, Killer Instinct, and Forza 5. Didn't have a C.D. handy or D.V.D..

Peace, J.R.

 

I'm going to try this out this evening as well. I will report my findings.

 

My Xbox One is my only console. I see absolutely no way how it couldn't be my home console.

 

And for the record games would play fine. I could play Killer Instinct, CoD: Ghosts, and Halo: SA without trouble offline. Blu Ray and CD wouldn't play though. With or without logging onto a profile.

 

Interesting....I tested mine today (earlier) after seeing this thread. Everything on my console worked fine offline....I did not test a DVD but BD worked and so did games (though a couple had screens come up saying comparative data not available off line),
which I was able to click out of and keep playing.

 

Did you guys also make sure your wireless was disconnected as well (Settings > Network > Disconnect Wireless Network) ? When we had the outage yesterday even though I disconnected my ethernet cable I found I had to manually disconnect from wireless also
to be able to sign in offline as it will automatically switch to wireless when you pull out the ethernet cable.

This is extremely odd if no one else is having the same problem. All my digital media plays fine when signed in offline. The Xbox One is from a UK store and the physical media was all UK region coded.

No reply to my support thread yet either.
