“I haven't always had this issue, and I'm not sure when it started so I can't say what firmware update screwed me. If I start up my PS4 and eject whatever disc is in there, and put in a DVD nothing happens. I don't get the DVD to select on the main screen. It just sits there. Then when I go to power options and hit restart, it takes a good 5 minutes to restart because whatever my PS4 was doing with the DVD it locked it up and it usually says my PS4 shut down incorrectly. Only after its fully restarted will I see the option to play the DVD. I don't have any issues with games though. Does anyone have any clues to fix this?” if you have the same problem or other problem about playing DVD on PS4, then this article can definitely solve your problem.
