Imported Blu ray not playing

Hi all,

I’m hoping someone can advise about a strange issue I’m having.

I’ve had series 6 of the old British Avengers TV series on Blu-ray imported onto my system for a couple of years now, which has always played without problems.

Recently when I’ve tried to play any of the 9 imported discs (no bookmarks), the screen just goes black and the content doesn’t appear. No “Difficulty reading movie” message appears and the only way to get back to the system is to press the menu button.

I deleted the content from my 1U and ejected the discs from my M700. Then I reimported without issue.

However, I’m still seeing the same behaviour.

I’ve recently had a failed drive and subsequent rebuild. Could it be related to this? Or perhaps an issue with the vault? Even though it says the discs are in the vault, perhaps it’s getting stuck at a final validation stage?

Any advice greatly appreciated!
 
Your M500 is connected to your display device via HDMI, yes? I'm just wanting to ensure that you aren't getting caught by the analog video sunset.

If you PM me your server serial number and a rough date for when you last attempted to play one of the titles, I can take a look at the logs to see what is going on.
 
Any change in your TV? I’ve seen similar behavior when playing a PAL disc on a display that doesn’t support it. Not sure if your Blu-rays are US or UK.
