DVD Playback support for SongShow Plus

Applicable SongShow Plus Versions: 
This article applies to SongShow Plus Version 8.x and later using DVD playback.

DVD Playback is a feature that allows the user to link to a physical DVD media from within a SongShow Plus program.  Support for this feature requires that the system/operating system supports DVD Playback as well.  

For SongShow Plus version 8 and later this has been simplified from previous versions in that SongShow Plus will use the operating system's included playback mechanism to do this.

SongShow Plus  DVD playback no longer supports any 3rd party DVD solutions. 

The table below indicates the components required for DVD Playback to work with SongShow Plus 8 and later:

Operating System	Required Windows Versions	Additional Components Needed
Windows 7	Home Premium; Ultimate	None (Windows Media Center is included)
Windows 8.1	Home; Pro	Windows Media Center
Windows 10	Home; Pro	Windows DVD Player (Add-on available in Windows Store)

Depending on the type of DVD you are trying to play, you may also need to install AC3 support.  See KB TS278 for more information.
