[SOLVED] Blu Ray discs do not play

[lmannyr]

Hello,

After upgrading to the latest 10.11.4 from 10.11.1 blue ray discs get rejected (disc automatically ejects on its own after a minute or so. This did not happen with 10.11.1. Below is what System info shows for "Disc Burning"
No problem playing DVDs

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Yes, you need to buy Blu-Ray software. OS X does not have Blu-Ray support built-in.

Still not working.... I installed Free Mac Blu-ray Player as recommended by tonymac here. The blu ray disc get spit back out automatically of the drive. DVD plays just fine. Blu ray though, doesn't get recognized at all. Ideas? thanks

I didn't do have any special software with 10.11.1. And it worked fine then. Copied a ton over to the HTC. With the .4 upgrade and even now .6 OS upgrades, I can't play blue ray. The drive spits out the disc after about 30 seconds. I tired "Free Mac Blu-ray Player" and the disc still spits the disc back out. Again, didn't have this issue with 10.11.1.

UPDATE

The drive was bad. Drive was replaced under warranty by LG which was a very hassle free exchange after they verified over the phone it was not working. All is well now.
