    Downloaded BluRay player on new XBox 1 S. The movie just keeps going in and out.
    Community Answer
    First, restart the Xbox. Then, try to put the disk back in. If that doesn't work, uninstall the BlueRay app and install back on again. Then, try putting the disk in.

  • Question
    Can you just put in the disc?
    Community Answer
    Yes. I'm not sure about regular DVD but, I know that you can do Blu Ray. If you have installed the Blu Ray app on the Xbox, it should immediately show the menu of the movie, when put in.

    No, it does not charge you money when you click "Store." When you click on it, it will take you to the store, and you are able to browse games/apps.
