Alien Anthology on PS5

[Mike’s Monsters]

Has anyone else ran into an issue where the discs won't play from the 2010 Alien Anthology blu ray on PS5? If so, have you found a fix?

It seems I can see the 20th Century logo before the menu and then it just stays on a black screen. I can't get a menu to come up with any controls no matter what I try.

I'll give it a test on mine shortly.

I have always had the issue of having to restart my player with the Anthology discs when I eject them, because it stays on that "Weyland-Yutani Sea of Tranquility etc" image permanently afterwards regardless of device. Xbox (Series X) actually turned out to be the best place to watch them all consecutively, because I can force close the Blu-ray application,  this sounds like a variation on that to me then?

So perhaps try updating or force restarting the Blu-ray application.

I just learned about this and I found someone on a forum who'd discovered a trick...

Put the first film in, let it get to the main menu, then eject the disc and put one of the sequels in. Then the sequel will play.

Annoying.

Huh ?

When playing the Anthology blu-rays on PS5, lots of people are reporting that the first film plays fine, but the sequels get stuck on black after the 20th Century Fox logo.

I just ran into this issue while trying to compare the Aliens blu-ray to the new 4K. But I was able to wiggle around the issue with the above trick.
