Windows Store support for DVD and Bluray

[j4j]

Hi, just noticed this limitation in the Windows Store listing:

Beware! This VLC does not feature all the features of the classic VLC! It does not support DVD or Blurays! Use the desktop version instead!

It would be really great to have feature parity with the Desktop version, what seems to be the hold up? Is it UWP limitation? Developer hasn't got around to it yet? Licensing?

Is it UWP limitation? Developer hasn't got around to it yet?

Bit of both probably.

Any chance to know if something can be done? I want to keep my machine I'm s-mode

I don't really maintain the UWP version anymore and this would be quite some work, if even possible.

Can Kodi or other non-MSFT app do it?

I have to look a bit, just used to VLC just works kinda thinking

Not sure I wanna try some of the apps in the store. Will probably end up buying the Microsoft version.

I really like the idea of s mode for a common family computer. Less to worry about

@mfkl Regarding VLC in the Windows Store not supporting DVD and Blu-ray, is there a legal concern of your knowledge or just development resource/cost?

Just development resource/cost.
