Having migrated to a HTPC from Xbox (Via Popvorn A100).
Have most of library running well,
Just some of the newer downloads are in a Blueray ISO format, I have tried demuxing to TS and M2TS, but both still loose audio sync
PC can cope with anything else thrown at it
Intel Quad Core - 3GB NVidia 9500GS Video
Any advice on the best way to deal with thse ISOs as more and more HS material is appearing this way (As its compatible with PS3)
Advice appreciated.
XBMC does not support any handling of Blue-ray ISO images, please submit a new feature request ticket on trac
http://trac.xbmc.org
Preferably with as much details and technical-specifications about the format as possible.
I have a mixture of Blueray and DVD isos and was wondering if theres a way (plugin or integrated) for XBMC to know what type of image it is. As an example, Meedio had a plugin that would check the directory structure to determined whether to launch zoomplayer (DVD) or powerdvd (Blueray).
Is there such a functionality?
search a while
"external player"
I mean hell its only on the front page.
I understand the external player concept.
What I am specifically referring to is a way for XBMC to tell which player to use based on a specific variable. IE only launching powerdvd when the specified drive contains a folder named "BDMV" .
Hi!
I would appreciate the ability in XBMC to mount ISO-Images of Blu-Ray-Discs, read the structures of it, like mountng DVD-ISOs.
Is this a big problem to code?
Thanks,
Patrick

I was also wondering if this was possible. Is there ANY way to mount and play bluray images in linux? I use XBMC almost exclusively, but was told that I was out of luck trying to play bluray images at ALL unless I wanted to switch to Windows. Is this accurate?

I was under the impression that XBMC will play M2TS files, regardless of platform. As for mounting images, I wouldn't expect that anytime soon. But you should be able to play the main feature if the blu-ray is ripped to the HDD in it's BDMV folders, is mounted by another app, or you have AnyDVD HD running (in which case you can read the M2TS straight from the disc.

Yeah XBMC plays MT2S files as you said, and I agree mounting Blu Ray images is a long way off... there aren't even any playback programs for regular discs on the Mac or Linux to my knowledge.
The mounting is done by the OS, the problem would be that the mounted disc won't do any good as long as it is still encrypted.
You could try aacskeys and dumphd from the doom9 forums though.
Hm, maybe AnyDVD HD and DAEMON Tools?
The other thing is, Blu Ray images are so big that you need a lot of TB.
XBMC should "just" be able to read the folder structure (BDMV) and play the main movie file. - The latest VLC 1.0.0rc4 can do this.
This, until we, one day, get the ability to navigate Blu-ray menus.
It would be a nice little feature
of course it should be able to do this inside stored rar archives...
llink uses libdvdnav which has been patched to read blu-ray iso files (UDF 2.5+).
c++ source can be obtained from here

I know it works as I have written code which extracted files from blu-ray iso's to be used as a base for GetDiscId (win32)

You have to remember that XBMC is a multi-platform software so as much code, features, and functions as possible should aim to be platform agnostic. That is, it should preferably work on Linux, Mac, and Windows, (so XBMC should never be dependent on a third-party software like AnyDVD or DAEMON Tools).
Understand that there are unencrypted Blu-ray ISO images (and Blu-ray Discs) out there, and XBMC should at this point only have to deal with those

Shouldn't any Blu-ray ISO/IMG parser code go into libcdio instead of libdvdnav?

I read about this too though on MPlayer's dvdnav development mailing-list, see:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4991
Patch(es) for XBMC to support this would of course be very welcomed
