Digital streaming is displacing the last remnants of physical media.

In a disappointing turn of events, FlatpanelsHD reports that LG has ended production of its Blu-ray player series, which includes the UBK80 and UBK90 models. With limited stock available, prospective buyers should act quickly to secure the last remaining units before they are sold out.

After Samsung and Sony's departure from physical media, LG was one of the last major manufacturers of Blu-ray players

There's still no streaming for 3D movies yet tho :,( i still need to rip the 3D blue rays to my PC if i want to watch them in VR... fandangonow had a quest app to stream 3D movies but it doesn't work anymore and it was a US only option. Hopefully the apple vision pro stuff makes it happen faster globally!

Have you tried Kodi? Maybe their Android app works.

I'll look into it. Not sure what kodi does exactly based on their website.

It's a media center app. To organize and play videos, TV, music and photos. With a nice interface for TVs.

It has settings for 3D content. I have no idea if works in VR but maybe you're lucky.
