Stream Blu-ray movies to PS4 with Plex Media Server
Like PS3, PS4 system software supports Blu-ray playback. However, if you are planning to play your favorite Blu-ray movies on PS4, you may encounter many problems. First, you will need to spend much money to buy a Blu-ray drive for your PS4. In addition, PS4 has its own supported disc formats, some types of Blu-ray disc such as BD-RE ver.10 and BD-R/RE XL can not play on PS4 successfully.
Why not hook your PS4 to the Internet with some Media Server tools such as Plex Media Server, so that you can directly watch Blu-ray movies with PS4‘s web browser. However, since you can not directly stream Blu-ray disc, you will first need to use some Blu-ray Ripper tools such as aPubsoft Blu-ray Ripper to convert Blu-ray to PS4 playable formats like H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, which is also an idea streaming format.
