Thanks but no thanks. Your help was not welcomed. :mad:

I'm trying to help, but it's almost as if you're trying to be obtuse. You still haven't answered whether you even have MakeMKV installed.
Edit:
And when I said "See above" I literally meant for you to look at the post above yours where I pointed out that BluRay Player with MakeMKV is, in fact, the plugin.

I'm a noob and I asked for help. I was getting somewhere and then you shined in and judged that perhaps I'm trying to be obtuse. No sir I'm not and you made a very poor judgment call. I don't think I need help like that.
I've already answered that I installed MakeMKV. I did it first via it's executable. Then I thought perhaps it should be done within XBMC and went ahead and did that. But I figured out it was already there so that was redundant. Double checked and yes it is installed.
Let's just leave it at that. I'd prefer help from someone else.

I just downloaded the plugin from the first page, fired up XBMC under Windows 7, went to Settings->Add Ons->Install from zip file and installed the plugin. From there I went to Videos->Video Add-ons->BluRay Player with MakeMKV, it really is that simple. Now I also downloaded and installed MakeMKV from the author's website. Before firing up the plugin itself, I right clicked on it and chose "Add-On settings" and told it where to find the MakeMKV executable. After that, you just use it. Pretty much what the thread explains in the beginning. It's actually more difficult in Linux if using Ubuntu, because you have to compile the application before you can use it. This is all within the last 10 minutes since your last post.
^^ This.
For someone looking for help, you're not helping us much.. Good luck.

A Little Help Please - LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25 09:14
I followed all directions. I have XBMC and MakeMKV installed. I installed the plugin. I went into the plugin's settings and pointed to the makemkvcon executable. When I choose play, it freezes and then a dialogue box pops up a little while later saying that "MakeMKV console application has stopped working." Help would be greatly appreciated. For what it's worth, I got streaming to work through MakeMKV and VLC player.

I forgot to include this, but I'm running 64-bit Windows 7

Playing a disc or a file? What does the logfile say?
- LonghornDude08 - 2011-12-25 10:30
Blu Ray disk. I'm not sure which log file you are talking about or how to look at it. XMBC just freezes and MakeMKV goes through the whole "____ has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution" and then you choose whether to Debug or close the program.
