Linux HOW-TO playback Blu-ray Disc in XBMC for Linux with MakeMKV (Plugin Addon)

Hello,

I've ported the Plugin to the new XBMC Addon System. Credit goes to original Author. I've tested it successfully with avatar and ACDC Live at Donington.

UPDATED
Here is a download link:http://www.multiupload.com/UHRWRGTKVR

extract to ~/.xbmc/addons

hi djselbeck!
thx for the addon!
just played some minutes of one of the very few blurays I have - and it worked fine

for a future version of the addon I'd like to suggest that the "0" in default.py line 92 can be configured
(my blueray rom is 2 here).
thanks a lot!

Hello,

like you wished i made the drive number selectable via settings. And also i corrected some wrong setting-types.

This shell scripts comes in the next days to my ripper

Testers are welcome ...

With the addon it is possible to watch
with my script to transcode and save to disk

PS : If you are searching for debian files for makemkv they are packed inside the blueray-functions-shell functions.

For some reason I can not get the plugin v1a play disc working. The script version works great. I can use the browse files on disc using the plugin version, but when I click on play nothing happens and no errors in log. Is the plugin version looking for a valid makemkvcon key?

I have downloaded and installed the plugin again and still no joy. I also checked persmissions. Just do not know why nothing happens when I select play.

<BUMP>

Update: With the plugin script the browse feature works on all three menu items. The Play does not work on any. I can browse the titles on the disk but can not play them. Checked permissions, been looking at the default pthon script but I see nothing out of the ordinary.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Although the script version works, it starts at title0 and only plays the trailer which on some disks is title0 while the real movie is title 1 or 20, etc..

At a guess I'd say that your XBMC version isn't compatible with the plugin. What version of XBMC are you using and what version of the plugin?

I think you are on a the Last stable version. You need to use the version of the first post not the new modified one.
