Z170 and Z270 are almost the same as far as I understand. I think Z270 has some re-arranged/re-configured PCI lanes, Optane support, and maybe some other minor features + newer BIOS. But the rest should be very similar. When I got my UHD drive some Z270 boards had been presented but they were...

Yes, theoretically a later 6700K could work but I do not think anyone has got it fully working. I sold my 6700K just before I got a UHD drive so never got to try it. Z170 motherboard is confirmed as working though I have that running with a 7700K (although HDR seems to only semi-working on...

PowerDVD Live is now sending out updates to version 17. Can report it plays UHD Blu-ray fine.

Just tried to install PowerDVD Live version but the Cyberlink Application Manager downloads version 16 so UHD Blu-ray does not work. Either they have not managed to update Live version/servers yet or they will release live version 17 later. So it seems it's back to the bundled japanese version...

Yes

Also tried running Fiddler while playing a UHD blu-ray in PowerDVD 14. That did not work at all. Got a bunch of error messages in PowerDVD in Japanese and it would not play the disc. As soon as I closed Fiddler and restarted PowerDVD it would play fine again. I did not have the time to look into...

I also have problems with audio. At first I could not get lossless DTS MA and DolbyTrueHD to bitstream at all. But lossy Dolby Digital and DTS worked fine to bitstream. This was true for any program like Kodi, not just PowerDVD. Lossless would simply not work and pre-amp displayed PCM-zero or...

Interesting stuff here... This would possibly explain why its a pain to get this working through my pre-amp: [Display Cable] (Required) HDMI 2.0a/DisplayPort 1.3 or above version cable without applying any adapters/splitters/repeaters. Not only is a cable required ;-) but...

I'm happy to test things to help out the community as long as it is within reason and does not break my now working UHD playback. As I wrote I'll trace the network next time I re-install. If you need anything else feel free to ask. I have not used anyDVD software but have been using MakeMKV in...

I'll try that next time I re-install PowerDVD. It only does this once (first time you play a UHD disc) and if it succeeds it will not do it again. So I would need to re-install version 17...

Thanks! Have very old BR reader in another PC. I think it's a Samsung drive. I did test a UHD Blu-ray in it a last year sometime and it could not read the files (unlike some LG drives). So I don't think it worth messing with that one...

Hi, guys. I'm the guy from blu-ray.com that have been messing with getting the Pioneer UHD drive working. Just though I'd register and say hi since I found the links to PowerDVD 17 in this thread (someone linked to it from blu-ray.com). I can confirm that PowerDVD 17 does not play UHD Blu-ray...
