I mostly watch movies with a mac mini hooked up to my TV. When I want to watch a blu-ray I own I've switched over to my PS4 that I only really use for this purpose. Recently, the battery in my PS4 controller died so I can only use it while the controller is plugged in. It already has been annoying to switch inputs. I know VLC needs some additional plug-ins to play blu-rays but I don't have a good feeling for how much of a pain this actually is to get set up and working. Am I going to be miserable if I buy an external blu-ray drive? Should I just buy an inexpensive blu-ray player or fix my controller
