Blu Ray App & Playback

[quote user="A Virtual Duck"]

Well technically you don't need to download an "app" for Blu-ray players, because it is PREINSTALLED. That's the only difference, except that the Blu-ray player has only one app.

My point was and still is, that a PS3 or a computer with a Blu-Ray drive rely on software for playback so both can be affected by whatever software/OS is running in the background. A stand alone Blu-ray player does not have that problem.

I assume that it will be the same with the Xbox One as an app is needed for playback of BR's.

Hey, Delta. The Blu-ray app update is not a preview version. It is an update that was released to the general public. To enable 3D Blu-ray playback, you need this app update combined with the system update that is currently in Preview.

All Blu-ray players use software for playback. It is called firmware and generally is user updateable. The Xbox One is a proper Blu-ray player that has issues at the moment. Lip sync and no 3D playback among them.

I don't need to download an app to use my Blu-ray player and it updates its own firmware.

Not sure about the sync issue, but the Blu-ray app on my XB1 S keeps wanting to update every time I go to the update section in "my games & apps". And also 4k playback isn't working.

It seems the latest console update messed up the Blu-ray/video playback in many areas.

Hi Brad,

thanks for reply, the blu ray app is installed but no difference still no playback from any discs and no error messages, just that nothing happens when game disc or blu ray inserted
