[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1237109, member: 109222"] Hi. I really can't see the benefit in playing optical disks on a (HT)PC. You still need to go to the disk storage shelf, search for the disk you want to play and insert it into the ODD of the HTPC before you can play it. Very old fashioned and very nasty... And what's the advantage inserting the disk into a stand alone player that always will be much easier to get up and running compared to BD playback on a HTPC??? Not even the costs, as stand alone players are less expensive than a BD drive plus commercial software player and/or illegal cracking tools... Aside this a ODD needs big cases for the HTPC. Things like NUC (or smaller) can not hold any ODD at all... Afaik it also is not integrated in the "official" release of MP1. Any clue why? ;) Integration of MadVR only is half the way for integrated BD playback. You still need an (at least in most countries) illegal tool to crack the copy protection of the BD on the fly... I really would love to have MadVR integrated in MP2. Not for playing optical disks (this is something from the last century and nothing I would spent a single thought about) with the BDJ nonsense but for better up-scaling (= picture quality) for SD (I know, also something from last century... ;) ) content. For HD and UHD there is not much difference between EVR and MadVR so here it isn't worth the effort. But SD material really is looking better when using MadVR compared to EVR. Sadly MadVR is very unflexible related to the functionality of the main app. This makes integration into MP2 nearly impossible. Too much work and too big compromises needed for too little advantage.
