[SymbioticFunction]

I have roughly 150 4K UHD discs.

A dozen of those I've had to give a thorough wiping down to play properly (and it has always fixed it to date). They had issues at exactly the same place, it wasn't random, usually I suspect at layer changes. From what I've read elsewhere, that's really nothing unusual, 4K threads more often than not have posts about playback issues for at least some forum members. It's just unlucky that it's happened three times in a row, genuinely puts me off the format.

There's so much data packed onto the discs that it's probably not very surprising. Like I said, it's a major pain to sometimes have to clean discs thoroughly and check them again. I feel safe to post my complaint here but wouldn't dare to also do so at blu-raydotcom (where I also sometimes post) where a large amount of folks would kick off if you dared to say anything remotely negative about this more recent format. Edit: I currently have 3 4K UHD players: Sony UBP X700, Microsoft Series X console and a Sony PlayStation 5 console.
