Using a dongle often yields better results than a direct connection. +- Insert a DVD (not a Blu-ray) into the drive and open the DVD Player. +- If prompted, select a region code for the DVD. +- Eject the DVD and insert a Blu-ray disc. Your Mac should now recognize the Blu-ray discs. + +This method has been effective in resolving compatibility issues. + ## Contribution Contribute to the project by submitting pull requests or opening issues for bugs and feature requests.
