After flashing my BD-RE BU4 with 1.03, I can play regular Blu-rays.But playing 4K Blu-rays still doesn’t work.

Post by medusa2025 »

Hello everyone,
I’m new here and have already gone through many posts in the forum,
but unfortunately, I couldn’t find a solution to my problem.
I flashed my Tech Pulse 120 drive with the BD-RE BU40N from firmware version 1.01 to 1.03.
Previously, I couldn’t play either 4K Blu-rays or regular Blu-rays.
After flashing, I can now at least watch regular Blu-rays.
However, playing 4K Blu-rays still doesn’t work. PowerDVD or VLC continue to require the SGX Runtime.
I was hoping that with firmware 1.03, I’d be able to play all Blu-rays, including 4Ks.
Did I make a mistake during the flashing process? Thanks in advance for your help!

Don't post the same thing in multiple threads!!!

You can't use PowerDVD as it is an official player. You must use a non-official player such as VLC, MPC-HC etc and integrate it with MakeMKV in preferences.
Cheers :D
