Without quoting who you're replying to we have no idea what you are talking about.

Which is someone agreeing with the desire for XBMC to play Blu-Ray discs automatically upon insertion and/or making the "Play Disc" option work for Blu-Ray, are you saying that it does? I'm not aware of it ever working for Blu-Ray.

I don't want you to think I'm trying to piss you off, I just would like clarification.

yes, you can assign an external player to the bd:// protocol, as explained in the sticky i pointed to. with autoplay on, we will then play those discs on insertion using the configured player.

Is there anyway to configure it to play within XBMC? I think what we'd like to see is upon the insertion of a Blu-Ray disc, XBMC detects it and starts playing the main movie right away. Just like it does for DVDs now (Except without menus obviously).

any news on bluray support?
I bought a bluray burner the other day not being sure if it would be supported by my hackintosh...well it is... but i cant really use it, there is just no software for playblack! I really hope there will be a solution for xbmc soon!

is it not possible due to the copy protection?

Playback with Menus isn't possible, because there is no open-source implementation with everything needed to play any Blu-ray out there.
There are implementations of the copy-protection algorithms, but I don't know if they are complete. To use them you need keys from your Blu-rays and your drive.

And play BD without menus with XBMC internal player is possible? Because pre 11 works perfectly with BD ISO's (without menus).

Regards.
