playing blu rays on ps5/xbox series x, can skip trailers?

[oali24]

I have noticed that on ps4 when you play a dvd you can fast forward or skip trailers and ads, has anyone checked if this can be done with blu rays on the ps5 since the ps5 is a 4k blu ray player, just wondering.

Thanks,

It's more dependent on the coding, if the trailers are their own section/chapter(s), etc. Actually on Blu-rays I've seen an increase where they're coding it where you can't jump to menu, fast-forward or chapter skip.

 

Ah, for the days of analog media without an over-arching software ecosystem running everything...

but like has anyone just tried to play a non 4k hd blu ray on a ps5 and tried to skip any sections that on a ps4 or non 4k blu ray player would not be skippable?

Apologies, I don't have a PS5 to test on; I invite others to reply.  I can only say on my PS4 Pro and on my Sony Bluray player that it's completely dependent on the Bluray in my observation...but I also don't know if the Bluray player software is using a similar codebase between console/dedicated bluray player.

Can't do a test since I have neither, but having authored discs yes that behavior is defined by the particular disc/title, not the player.

With blu-ray the player essentially executes a program from the disc that implements all the navigation, it doesn't even really need to know what's happening.

I have an Xbox One X, but since that's also a 4K Bluray player I actually had the opportunity to test the Xbox behaviour (since the player is exactly the same on Series X). It depends on the Bluray itself. If the publisher made it possible to skip the trailers, you can, if they didn't enable it, you can't. Tested with both normal Bluray and 4K Bluray.
