I have had Windows Home Sever for a while for personal backups and media streaming. Except uploading some downloaded TV shows or movies to Windows Home Sever, I mainly use Windows Home Sever to store my Blu-ray backups for stream to my iPhone 6S, iPad Mini, PS4, and my Samsung TV etc. I found many people cannot play their Blu-ray backups on other media players from Windows Home Sever successfully, so here is a guide on syncing Blu-ray backups to devices using Windows Home Sever.
The key point of playing Blu-ray backups from Windows Home Sever on media players is ripping Blu-ray to a compatible device format for all devices, like MP4 before backing up Blu-ray to Windows Home Sever. Here, I suggest you to use Pavtube BDMagic after comparing with many Blu-ray rippers > Review: Top 5 Blu-ray Ripper.

Steps to Rip Blu-ray to Windows Home Sever for Devices
Step 1. Load Blu-ray movies
Insert your Blu-ray disc into an external Blu-ray drive, run the program on your computer, on the main interface click "File" > "Load from disc" to import the Blu-ray disc to the program.
Step 2: Set output format
Considering the final devices you will use will not be limited, so I suggest you here to select “HD” > ”H.264 HD Video(*MP4)” format as the best output profile for all devices from the ”Format” drop-down option.
Tips:
1. Click “Settings” on the interface and you can adjust the parameters including size, bitrate, frame rate, etc. to get a high quality of output files or a smaller files size.
Keep in mind the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa. You can preview the size at the below chart.
2. Click the "Subtitle" tab in "Video Editor" window, check "Enable", then you will be able to add external SRT/ASS/SSA subtitle files to the video as hard subtitles.(Difference between soft subtitles and hard subtitles)
Step 3: Start to convert
Click the big button "Convert" on bottom-right corner to start conversion. When the process is over, you can find the converted files by clicking the "Open output folder".
Now, backup the converted Blu-ray movies to Windows Home Sever and be free to sync your Blu-ray backups to your devices for watching using Windows Home Sever.
