I just unplug it, and when I want to listen to music plug it in, problem solved!

- WalterBright 9y agoPutting it on a bus strip with a power switch is definitely Plan B, but it's inconvenient. My bluray player spends a lot of time fruitlessly searching for an internet connection when I put a bluray in it, and eventually it gives up and just plays the disk. I see no reason to connect it to the internet so it can spy on me.
- ygra 9y agoDon't Blu-ray players have to get updates sometimes or certain discs won't play?

- DiabloD3 9y agoTechnically yes, but due to how first generation Bluray players will never have updates to their DRM keysets, there have been extremely few discs that chose to employ new keys. This may become a thing for 4k Blurays (since all 4k Bluray players are long since compliant with the over-the-internet key updating mechanism), but unlikely because most manufacturers still refuse to update anything after warranty ends. Ergo, the Bluray industry doesn't want to tie themselves to a model where people have to buy new players every 3 years: people will just stop buying discs instead. The other OTHER side of this is: the disc is dead. Most people own very few discs, only of their absolute favorite movies they want in a high quality copy or for the few people who are bothering with 4k content (since most people still do not have enough internet to stream it); so why rock the boat, just let the format play itself out.
- WalterBright 9y agoThe disc may be dead, but most of the movies I want to watch are available from Netflix only with their disc service. I also borrow discs from the library. But you're right that I'll only buy a disc for a special movie.
- meowface 9y agoIts long boot-time makes this inconvenient, unfortunately.
