[Libs-Or] Blu-ray playing software on public computers

[Buzzy Nielsen]

You could try downloading VLC<https://www.videolan.org/> (which is free and open source) and downloading their blu-ray add-on<https://www.videolan.org/developers/libbluray.html>. The add-on does not circumvent DRM and therefore is legal. There are instructions here:
http://www.ufusoft.com/free-way-to-play-blu-ray-disc-movie-with-vlc-in-windows-10-64-bit32-bit/

It might be worth trying that first before going to paid, proprietary software.

Cheers!
Buzzy

Subject: [Libs-Or] Blu-ray playing software on public computers

We recently purchased a portable DVD/Blu-ray drive for patrons to use on our public computers. Additional software is required in order for patrons to be able to watch blu-rays on our computers. I was wondering if anyone has purchased this type of software for their public computers. What software was it? Do you have it on all the computers or just one or two?

Thanks.
