So we are here at the end of this post. I wanted to get my SGX Extensions going so I can watch 4k movies on my computer. I finally got that, and it was more error's after more errors. I am here to say that I finally got it to work and I can play my movies now. 

One thing was the optical drive which needs to be UHD-BD. I also had a switch on my big tv and had to get it off of that. Once I did all of this stuff it actually worked.  Came with the optical UHD-BD drive was Powerdvd 14 UHD. I don't know whether this has anything to do with it, but the software after I loaded it, it then worked.
DUBBCD had it correct. It was my optical drive.

Thanks to all who helped. If this can help someone else then so be it!



Thanks....

Ok, So I contacted  ASRock and they sent me a (ME) file to try use with powerdvd v1619. Their test works with this version. 

I installed the ME drivers then installed powerdvd 16.  Then ran the blu-ray advisor and it came up with the SGX wasn't installed, but let me install them.  It pass all the test except 2.  It goes and loads what it needs and  SGX is working now. It almost goes into the movie then another error comes up saying:  Catastrophic failure    code:8000FFFF   Does anyone know what this means?

Now I have to try and find what that means.

I am closer than I was at start of this forum.

Thanks....

Maybe not, it does read the disc and at one time it did play one out of six disc. If it is not I will cross that bridge when it gets here. I am just trying to get the SGX to work. One hurdle at a time.

Thanks...

Your BD ROM, probably not 4K UHD.

I have an i7-6700k Sky Lake processor and an ASRock Extreme 7+ motherboard on another computer with an R9-290X Sapphire Video card. According to ASRock which I contacted  before I bought the Z270 and Kaby Lake, he stated only the 250 and above boards can play Ultra. The Z270 would be better and only Kaby Lake processor. No other processor could handle it.

He stated that Sky Lake could not.
He also stated my Extreme 7+ could not.

This is why I bought the Kaby Lake and the Z270 because I have it hooked to my 65" TV which I stream off of my  computer.



Thanks....Big smile

I could not get the SGX PSW to installed because it need C Runtime which was not running because it is not supported.

My Motherboard according to the specs,  Due to chipset limitation, the Blu-ray playback of Intel® HD Graphics is only supported under Windows® 8 / 8 64-bit / 7 / 7 64-bit.
Intel® InTru??3D is only supported under Windows® 8 / 8 64-bit / 7 / 7 64-bit.

So the Motherboard can play The dvd's only if you have Windows 7 or 8, but the processor will not work with these Windows.

Now, Kaby Lake is the only one that will play Ultra dvd's as long I guess as you have a motherboard that will support it in Windows 10.

Time to buy A Ultra Blu-ray standalone player and hook it to my TV.

Bought both because I thought they supported it, guess I was wrong again.

If anyone one else has any other insight on this let me know.

Your statement that I highlighted above, while in a sense is true, is a contradiction in terms. Or as we used to call it, a Catch22 situation. Not your fault, but caused by the as far as I know, arbitrary non-support of Ultra-HD playback on the system.

You probably know this is caused by DRM, Digital Rights Management. The movie/TV studios fighting piracy of their products on PC platforms where it was possible to make copies, that is not possible or as easily possible on a DVD player designed to work with TVs.

Windows 10 as far as I know itself has locked out Ultra HD playback, that is a major factor here. The earlier versions of Windows (7, 8.1) don't have that restriction. Given Kaby Lake is only supported by Windows 10, you hit a wall right there.

Regarding the board supporting Ultra HD playback, the only boards that can support a Kaby Lake processor must have an Intel 200 or 100 series chipset, like a Z270, Z170, etc. Then we encounter the "chipset" restriction, but is that simply the Kaby Lake processor, Windows 10 only limitation, or more DRM built into the chipset?

The only thought I had was going one step backwards to a Skylake processors, i7-6700K for example. But we then have these specifications for Kaby Lake and Skylake graphics:

HWA Encode/Decode: VP8, HEVC 8b, VP9, HEVC 10b (For 7th Gen Intel® CPU) Kaby Lake

HWA Encode/Decode: VP8, HEVC 8b; GPU/SWEncode/Decode: VP9, HEVC 10b (For 6th Gen Intel® CPU) Skylake

You tell me if this means a Skylake processor with appropriate graphics will support Ultra HD playback, since Skylake processors are supported by Windows 7 and 8.1. You can see that spec in your board specification page. You might need a Z170 board, or will a Skylake processor on your board work for Ultra HD playback?

I will say it does since it reads the title. I have one movie that actually played out of about 6.
It is a BDXL Blu-ray drive. It's about a couple of months old. All the installing and uninstalling I have done I need to see if it still plays.

The BD Rom I had before this one did not do anything and says there is no disc in the drive.

What do you think?

Thanks....Tongue

Does your BDROM support 4KUHD BD disk?

Yes  the SGX is enabled and I upped the shared memory to 1gb. 

I did on Intel's forum, but put in under graphics. No replies yet on it.

Thanks....
