As per my thread here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1080488

A mounted ISO file of self-authored, unencrypted bluray triggers the System.HasMediaDVD to make the "Play Disc" visible, and the onclick event for XBMC.PlayDVD() works to play the Bluray content/structure on this mounted ISO.

However that same ISO file burned to a BD-R does not trigger the System.HasMediaDVD. If the menu option is configured to always show the "Play Disc" the XBMC.PlayDVD() event will not trigger playback on the BD-R.

Why can a mounted ISO with the exact same structure as what is on the BD-R work? What is stopping XBMC from being able to implement this for the structure off a BD-R?

Thanks for your time and feedback.

.peace out.

I have updated my thread above with some new finding and it turns out that the above request is only party necessary.

The XBMC.PlayDVD() event will indeed play back the BD-R....my issue was that another drive with a letter assignment higher in the alphabet existed with no media in it.

Therefore, the request would simply be that the System.HasMediaDVD detects BD-R as a valid type to display the menu.

A poster in the other thread suggested that the method "System.HasMedia" should work....but this did not appear to be valid for detecting the disc either.

.peace out.
