Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

Why is your Blu-ray player connected to the internet?

VLC on a Linux laptop. You think my Blu-ray player has the ability to take screenshots?

I am sometimes surprised to find new things VLC can do, it's awesome.

But for real, does it play blu rays? I was under the impression it did not and you had to get that $100 program.

It does. Last time I did it, though, it required a couple of files to get going. Have a look here for info: http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/

It does but I use makemkv for the Blu-ray decryption

Not UHD discs. Those don't play on windows.

Not out of the box, AFAIK, but there is a plugin. I never got it to work though, because you also need some up-to-date certification file.
