My Blu-ray player, plays video games. I'm good.

There is only a small percentage of people that care about image quality, so this was inevitable. Hopefully there will be companies offering full uncompressed video downloads. Then you won't need Blu-ray players.

Sony

It is what it is.

Damn.. I still use mine for 3D movies..

 

[Dirtylakerie]

You know what, I think I'ma get one from Walmart. Their cheap so it's affordable. Gotta make sure I can play burned disc on it though.

I hope the streaming industry improves the audio quality with streaming if that becomes the standard for watching movies.

On the other hand, keep in mind that CDs replaced vinyl for a moment. Now, vinyl is back in on a large scale.

I'll keep my physical media. Someone will be able to repair my units when they need to be serviced.

The Commander of the Reliant is signaling, he wishes to discuss terms of our surrender....

I create lossless rips of my physical media and play them using Plex or Emby

Their players are trash
Sony and Panasonic are still making good ones

Can either of these apps/programs be downloaded onto a Sony A90-J Tv?

Honestly, I'm clearly out of my wheelhouse trying to configure something like this. However, I would like to setup my system to be able to watch movies from my server. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The sony oleds have googleTV so you can install either plex or emby.

You just need to setup a Plex server and point it to where you have saved your video files.

The majority of my videos are 1080; I have a few that are 2160.

 

[christop]

I have a PS5 and I can't remember the last time I played a blu-ray lmao.

I collect physical media , but there are many options besides LG.

 

[Database Error]

I've never owned a Blu-ray

 

[nativeneworleanian06]

I've got both physical and digital. Once I can get the digital setup to stream, I'll be complete, at least until something else comes to market.

Yeah I’ve never seen anything in true 4k

 

[mariano42]

Remember when blue Ray's were $800-1K. PS3 was the affordable blu ray player back in the mid to late 2000s

There are lots of places that stream in 4k. The problem is the compression.

I have a digital stream for my physical media. It’s connected through my net gear router and I use Plex.
