BD Movie Playing on JRiver & VLC (1 Viewer)

[cineescape]

Hi Guys,

I’ve used VLC player for years to play DVDs but now I want to use it and JRiver to play, but not rip, BDs. I’ve tried and failed more than once to correctly install these things https://www.lifewire.com/play-blu-rays-on-windows-10-4582918 And these presumably more exacting steps are even way more confusing.

Again, I have no need or interest in ripping BDs. And I have no problem with propriety software, but with Redfox gone can anyone say how reliable this or another solution is for 1080p BD movie playback on VLC and JRiver? https://www.dvdfab.cn/passkey-for-blu-ray.htm

If you just want to put a disc in a disc drive on a PC and use the PC as a dvd player, maybe buy PowerDVD? Spend some money. But no searching forums for answers to fussy and quirky HTPC software.

But, I have been aware of DVD Fab for years. I've never used it. But I've not heard of it being malware. My impression is it's legit.

Yes, I have an older version of PowerDVD which I just used last night to play the DVD version of
