AnyDVD HD 8.1.9.2 using external drive issues with Blu-Ray

Hi,

I have an external Samsung Blu-Ray Writer that I sometimes attach to my Yoga 2 Pro to watch movies using VLC (3 Nightly) on Windows 10. In the past, this setup has worked quite well, but things have changed. When I insert a Blu-Ray it gets checked and made available to the system just fine, but when I try to play it in VLC, it starts spinning the disk, but all I get back is some thumbnail of the inserted disk's movie.

However, when I have the Blu-Ray inserted into the drive, reboot Windows 10, log in, start VLC and play the movie, it comes out fine, although I have the issue that for any chapter of the selected title, it will revert back to the original / root language of the title, but that might be related to VLC 3 Nightly.

Anything I could do in AnyDVD or VLC to try track down the issue?

Side note: AnyDVD 8.1.9.0 using VLC 2.2.6 on my desktop (Win10) with a built in Blu-Ray Writer works like a charm.

Thanks very much in advance

That right there confirms it's not an anydvd problem. Your problem is very likely VLC, it's not a real / licensed blu-ray player. At best it guesses the proper playlist, just plays back the largest m2ts and can't decode HD audio usually.

Not an anydvd problem

Does it happen with other media player ? Potplayer / Kmplayer / MPC-HC / BE ?
 
Just tried PotPlayer and it also fails. Strangely everything works just fine on my Desktop and also it worked last year....With AnyDVD and VLC, that I am 100% certain
