@fastjack25 @NoRestfortheWicked @thomas I agree and it looks like they're quite affordable nowdays. I've got one for my PS3 and it was somewhat expensive (I think) back then.
Here's some for PS5 https://www.playstation.com/en-us/accessories/media-remote/
I'm sure local shops have them for older versions too. Or buy used.
@NoRestfortheWicked sorry I don't speak German. If you get a dedicated media player, get one that supports UHD as well (aka Ultra-HD 4K Blu-ray, usually in black cases), possibly also digital media like MKV (matryoshka).
Mine is Reavon UBR-X100, very happy with it.
I also have BD drives for PC use, but the copyright protection is a nightmare with them. Watching your owned discs is a big hassle, wouldn't recommend.
Can't talk about consoles for this use, I only have an old PS3 slim and only used it for BD's once or twice.
EDIT: replied with the wrong account, but shouldn't matter 😅
