How can I play original Bluray discs from XBMC in Linux?

[Tassadar]

Hi all,

I've a HTPC with kubuntu and XBMC and I play with no problems MKVs and ISOs from my own blurays (created with Windows in other computer)

Now I have install a Bluray reader with the aim of playing my blurays directly, and I've found it doesn't work (The ISO file works, but original disc doesn't).

¿Hoy can I enable the play of those original optical disks? I've try installing an addon called "makeMKV" but when I try to use it gives a message saying something like "MakeMKV doesn't work, it is installed?"

¿Can someone lend me a hand? I would like to play original BDs in the easyest possible way, as I play ISOS now.

Many thanks in advance

Download VLC and use it. It plays most blu rays. Unfortunately, it won't play all of them. Linux will catch up with the rest of the world on blu ray playback here shortly. So just be patient.

I also found this: http://blog.coolaj86.com/articles/pl...-blu-play.html

and this: http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ (I'm not sure these files are safe so check them out beforehand)

These might work on all your disks, but I'm not sure since I haven't tested it out myself.

Good luck.

Many thanks for the answer,

I Finally get was I was looking for using makeMKV, the issue was that when I installed prior day it was on the night after 14 hours working and my mind shouldn't be lucid, I had installed XBMC add-on but not the makeMKV itself.

I tested a pair of original blurays I own and seem't to work

After that, download xbmc add-on and install as usual (install from zip):

Many thanks again
