Any idea why 5 Armies Bluray would play on PS3 but not on XB1 ?

I tried watching the extended edition of the Battle of the 5 Armies bluray.  I tried to watch the non-3D disc in my XboxOne.  It wouldn't play.  It gave some sort of error like "Sorry, can't play this disc".  The XB1 is completely up-to-date, including latest version of BR app.  I ejected the disc, and tried it in my old PS3.  It worked without any difficulty.  Watched the whole movie on the PS3.

Any idea why the XB1 wouldn't play it?  The console came out 7 years after the PS3, it seems odd that the newer one could not play the film.

Mine played fine on my Xbox One.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Hi, I'm back!

Sorry about the long delay, my video card died and it took me a while to figure out what was wrong.  The computer would boot, get to the BIOS screen, flash the Win10 logo, and show 2 rounds of spinning dots before it would reboot itself and start all over.  By the time I had figured out it was the video card (I had originally eliminated it as a contender because the BIOS screen was displayed without any difficulty), I had completely and utterly messed up my boot partition by playing around with MBR commands.

At any rate, it's all working again, with a brand new vid card.  The Bluray I was using was this one :
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Hobbit-The-Battle-of-the-Five-Armies-3D-Blu-ray/123354/

I borrowed it from my neighbour.  He has a big old 3D TV, I do not.  So I tried to watch the 2D Bluray from that collection on the XB1.  It would not play, even after a reboot.  I've just ordered my own copy from Amazon, when it gets here, I'll try it out in the XB1 again.
