I have recently been playing around with some Bluray content.
I authored a Bluray disk and created an .ISO out of it. When I mount this ISO using Virtual Clone Drive, XBMC has an option labeled "Play Disc" that appears in the main menu (this is Confluence skin on Eden).
However, when I burn this ISO to a BD-R disc and put this BD-R disc in the drive, no "Play Disc" option appears.
I can browse under Video > Files and start this disc up under the BDMV folder and the content plays....but I don't understand why the .ISO (which should be a replica of the the burned disc) adds the Play Menu option, but the BD-R doesn't.
My suspicion is that somehow the virtual drive still appears to be a standard DVD, and not a Bluray drive and since XBMC normally doesn't play Bluray, it doesn't add the Play Disc option.
However, since this is an unencrypted bluray, XBMC can play it...it just seems that it doesn't know to create the Play Disc menu option.
Does anyone know if this is configurable...and how I can make the Play Disc option show with BD-R or at least always stay up in the menu?
thanks
