Just bought a PS4 and am overall happy with my experience. Unfortunately one issue has emerged.
When I insert a DVD or Blu-Ray movie the console recognizes it correctly, however, when I try to play it, the screen changes and displays the stand-by "spinning circle of light". I have left it like that for as long as ten minutes with no change.
It reads my game discs fine.
Based on my research into similar problems, here is what I have attempted:
I have tried multiple Blu-Rays and DVDs.
I have tired changing the hdmi input on my television and changing it back.
I have switched on and off the option to have my discs connect to the internet.
I have made sure to unplug all USB ports.
I have tried restarting the system.
I have restored the console to the system defaults.
I have initialized the console.
I'm out of ideas.
I have system update 3.50
Thank you for your time.
