Blu-ray player shouldn't require internet

I can't. I said in the op that the internet is down. I shouldn't have to have Internet to use the blu ray player.

Hello,

Blu-ray player probably needs an update if it requires an internet connection. Unfortunately, older versions and builds don't work offline sometimes

So I figured out the problem, and this is to help anybody else that runs into this issue.

I have my home Xbox set to another console, as many others do, I game share with a friend. But my console does not have a designated home Xbox.

So I figured you need that set up to use many things offline. So if your in the same situation, what you can do is use another account on your console, or create a 'dummy' account. Use that account to essentially 'purchase' the free app, and set that account
as your home Xbox, once an account that basically 'owns' the app is your home Xbox, you then can use the app offline, to watch DVDs and Blu-rays.

Hey there Yeti!

An internet connection is not required while watching a DVD. Can you describe what error you're seeing?

If this is the first DVD that you've tried to watch, then it's possible that you haven't downloaded the Blu-Ray Player app, which is required to watch Blu-Rays/DVDs. When you first put a Blu-Ray/DVD in the console, it will automatically prompt you to
download the app. If you didn't already have it installed and you weren't connected to Xbox Live, then it would give you an error.

Let us know what you're seeing and whether or not you're able to watch a DVD while offline after downloading the Blu-Ray Player app. We'll be standing by to hear back from you! ^_^

Unfortunately the movies are run through a blu-ray player app that needs to be connected to the internet.
