    Playing DVD films

    Do data CDs/DVDs work or is it just video DVDs that won't play? If it is just video DVDs that won't play, but data DVDs do work, then it is the media player software and the DVD drive that are not compatible. I like the KODI software from kodi.tv.

    If neither data DVDs nor video DVDs will work or if you don't have a data DVD to check it with then:
    With a known good DVD in the drive, open device manager. Right click on the DVD drive, select properties. Click on the volumes tab. Then click the populate button. A volume with a capacity should show up. If it shows up as 0MB or none at all, then the drive itself is bad - or possibly needs a different driver. If the volume does show up with a capacity listed, then you are back to it being the DVD player software again. I've had laptops before where the DVD drive just would not work with Windows 10, luckily replacement drives are cheap and easy to swap on most laptops. One screw is usually holding them in - remove the screw, pull the drive out, swap the faceplate which just snaps on/off. I recommend having the drive open when you remove it to facilitate removing the face plate from the front of the disk tray.

    yea there are discs that VLC cant play. The other suggestion might be better for physical DVDs.

    Microsoft Films & TV Not Playing Purchased Content

    I've started using Microsoft Films & TV, but I'm not having much luck - When I try to play a purchased movie, the player starts up, but just buffers with the title of the movie in the bottom left corner. After a few minutes of loading, the buffer symbol
    stops and the app freezes. It worked fine for the first 24 hours or so.

    I've tried multiple suggested solutions already:

    • Resetting the app in Settings.
    • Uninstalling the app using Windows Powershell.
    • Restarting the computer.
    • Wifi off and on (both PC side and at the router).
    Purchases play fine on my Xbox One S, so I can assume the problem is a local one.

    Does anyone know what might be wrong? Any help greatly appreciated!
