How can I play Blu-Ray movies via Windows Media Centre on Windows 8? If I choose the "play dvd" option, I get an error:
Cannot Play Disc
To play this DVD, you must first install a playback application that supports Blu-ray Disc.
[ OK ]
However, I have got the HP MediaSmart application installed, which does work (although it's "less than awesome"), so I'm confused why I get this warning?
1I think it is extremely strange that Microsoft doesn't prioritise Windows Media Centre (my personal favourite application, which I use daily to watch movies from DVB-T and DVD) as a platform for home cinema. The WMC interface is superior to any third-party application. I don't want to use any other application to watch movies. – Andreas Rejbrand – 2012-11-25T23:08:17.797
