Hello guys.
I’m having trouble with playing my uhd discs with JRiver 32 and 33. it took extremely long to load the discs. Blu-ray works without any trouble. I’m using makemkv to decrypt the discs. Does anyone have the same problem or maybe an solution?

Does no one else have the same problem??

When you say UHD disc, I guess you mean 4K BluRay discs.
And when you say BluRay discs, I guess you mean 1080p (aka 2K) BluRay discs?
In any case, they both are BluRay discs. :)
It does take long as MC seems to scan all the playlist files first when you press "Play" and maybe does some other things like looking at the existing m2ts or whatever. It's taking less when trying to play a disc whose contents is stored on the hard drive, as access is faster than to an optical drive, but it still takes about 10-15 seconds or so (or even more).
I don't think this is unusual, it always did so.

Thanks for your reply. So
I have to learn to have more patience 😜

Is this when trying to play the menu, or just the main movie?

In my case, I have MC configured to always ask me what I want when I press Play: to play with menus or just the main title.
And you have to wait for MC to parse the playlist files (I assume), and only then you get the popup dialog which lets you chose what to do: play with menus (I almost always pick this) or just the main title.
(having the BluRay disc contents stored on a network drive might be responsible for some of the delay in my case as well)

Menu and main movie. It doesn't matter.

Media Center will scan all the metadata files to read the contents of the Blu-ray and identify the titles on it, to pick the main title, and all those features. However, I do not see why that would be slower on UHD then it would be on a normal Blu-ray.
I looked into loading less files, moving some to on-demand, but it really needs the full stack to combine the information about title length and stream information.
