Post Hosting a USB blu-ray drive
I am planning to buy one of those $99 external blu-ray drives which work on USB power. If I connect it to POHD using USB port, can I use it to play a blu-ray movie and route it to the TV using HDMI output? Will the copy-protection/DRM be a problem? Has anyone tried it? I want to make sure before I buy an external blu-ray drive. Otherwise I'd just buy an internal one. Thanks!!

Hello,

I have not tried it. But I'm quite sure it will not work unfortunately. Like you mention it will not be able to pass the copy-protection.

I haven't bought it yet ;)

But do you think it will work if the Blu-ray disk does not have copy protection? Or if I am playing a home-made DVD, will it work?
