Maybe more good news?
Cyberlink will be releasing the first software UHD Blu Ray player early next year.

I presume that by 4k you actually mean protected BD UHD disks.You will need a kaby lake Intel cpu and windows 10 to allow pc playback of 4k as Microsoft has an update to protect hdmi 2.0 and any os program from capturing the 4k with its drm features. I'm sure kaby lake cpu keeps it's data encrypted during calulations in the cpu registers so no debugger can spy on its assembly commands to isolate the key crypto to reverse enginner drm protection. This is what I've read so far on 4k coming to a pc soon. I'm sure someone will find a way using a virtual machine to break thru.
