The DRM on Blu-Ray was too harsh so I skipped the format entirely. If I couldn’t put a disc into my HTPC (Linux) and press “play”, I wasn’t interested.
Funny that the DRM didn’t even really prevent ripping the disks… A few different players were hacked to leak decryption keys and mess with the firmware to allow backing up to a PC (or piracy if that’s your thing).
I have all my media stored locally because I can’t stand having shows being removed from streaming services.
You can now, if you have the right drive (some don’t even need to be libredrive flashed), a few libraries and a keylist in .config. At least with VLC, mpv, mplayer.
Yeah, it sucks. But good enough to convert the video to a run-of-the-mill format.

In a different, better universe HD-DVD won.

Lol, i kept foolishly building HTPCs with bluray drives hoping that someday i could actually play my bluray disks…

I’ve only ever bought one single blue ray disk, and that was the final venture brothers movie, in support of Jackson & Doc
