![]() ![]() For instance, when I inserted my Friday the 13th disc, which is from Paramount, it wouldn't play at all and the loading wheel just kept spinning. I also noticed that some discs don't play at all. There's no problem with my computer I think because I can listen to music and watch videos just fine. ![]() So it seems that my issue has nothing to do with watching the film by selecting the playlist option, but some other problem that's affecting every Blu-ray I try to play using it. I realized though that all these discs are giving me audio problems, whereas before I remember there wasn't an audio problem with the ones that I was able to play. I tried playing some of the Halloween movies from the Anchor Bay Collection, Alien 3 from the Anthology box set, which is 20th Century Fox, and the region free UK disc of Dances with Wolves, which is MGM. I just updated the player from 1.9.6 to 1.9.7 but I'm still having the audio issues.įor the audio settings it was set to analog and I was listening with my earphones. Some titles can act very strange with their audio tracks depending on a whole bunch of factors and the disc itself.Ĭould you elaborate on the titles in question and distributor/region? Leawo is very skitzy with 1080i content, but it's also problematic with older BD titles (mainly Universal and Fox titles with BD+ including some released before 2016) and a few region locked ones (example being German Concorde BDs like Austin Powers that can freeze at random parts) even after changing the players region setting. Have you updated to the latest version of the software? IDK if you've been using an older version for a few months, but if so it would be a good idea to update it anyway.ĭid the audio cut in/out when you play those discs before trying my method? In the players audio settings, are you outputting the audio through "Analog" (if using headphones) or "Coax" (usually routes audio through HDMI to enable multi channel). I had a GTX 680 but it died a few weeks ago after 6 years of use. Both are pretty old hardware, so I wonder if that has anything to do with the aforementioned issues. I'm using an LG BH12LS35 and GTX 560 Ti outputting video through DVI. On the other hand, VLC can play BDs with external subtitles, though like CyberLink PowerDVD 9, it has a hard time playing some BDs. Also, can't seem to be able to play a BD with external subtitles for some reason, the option is grayed out. Playback itself is a bit stuttery at first, but progressively gets better as you watch. Haven't tested it out with TOSLINK maybe that'll work better. All in all, pretty impressive for something that's free.Ĭons: However, audio ouput through 3.5mm jack is very stuttery and laggy. Also, thanks to the Playlist window, you can skip all the annoying piracy warnings and trailers at the start. Pros: I find that it's able to play newer BDs that my BDP-S1 and CyberLink PowerDVD 9 (which came free with my PC's BD drive) cannot. I highly doubt that it's a firmware issue since it's either down to the software not having the most current protection coding (if that is what it's called) which would stop certain releases from running, or it could be that even though it states that it's region free the disc might contain geo locking data which restricts the disc from running but that would show a message when it is started so I'm going to put it down to the software not having the coding required to make the disc run.Īlso drivers won't affect if a disc runs or not since as I stated, it's normally down to the playback software.I just discovered it today and tested it out a bit. ![]() Why would a newer version have lower number? Or are they really different? There are so many Blu-ray player software tools that can play Blu-ray discs on Windows 7, like Leawo Blu-ray Player, 5KPlayer, Aun Player, etc. Googling a bit, there was another 6.3.XXXX also from 2006.īut what confuses me, is when searching for SATA-drivers, is that the release date is in 2014, but version number is 4.3.XXXX. If so, are there different drivers for an ODD if they are hooked up via USB or via SATA? My USB drivers are now 6.1.XXXX and released in 2006(!!!!). Do you guys think this might be the case? I read somewhere now, that the coding of the blu-rays constantly change, and so firmware updates are also required to keep the blu-ray drive functioning. This reminds me of my friends old laptop, that presumably had a Blu-Ray drive, but he could never get it to work. "Hacksaw Ridge" and "The Nice guys" gets into the Disc-menu, but after that it jams. I now start to think that the issue is not with the region lock, but with the firmware I noticed on my copy of "Logan: The wolverine (2017)" that it is region-free (all three regions marked on the disk), but yet no software manage to open it (btw, Kodi at least looked fantastic). What software are you using for playback? Well its a last resort option, you probably should of thought about that before ordering a drive from HK ![]()
