Linux HOW-TO playback Blu-ray Disc in XBMC for Linux with MakeMKV (Plugin Addon)
The creator of this script was doing that but life caught up (again).. Anyway, there was a test version a couple of pages back that is eden compatible and the source is on github, pull-requests welcome.

I just tryed "Now also available as an addon

http://www.bultsblog.com/plugin.makemkvbluray.zip

Install from zip. Follow all other steps to get makemkv etc..."
that one but it only makes whole Ubuntu/xbmc to hang/crash :| will try to find that other zip file copuple of pages back as u said becuase the MakeMKV is working good out in main screen =)


Just saw it wa son page 39 and it was the same file it seems ( plugin.makemkvbluray.zip ) from http://www.bultsblog.com.

Ubuntu 11.10 x64, with XBMC 11 eden.
MakeMKV is working out in ubuntu to rip disc.
In xbmc I hear the disc spin up for about a minute, then it slows down and when i try to go back or do anything in XBMC nothing is happening (hangs).

I will see if I find a way to start the debug log so I maby can post if for you. Or have you got it working with the latest version of 11 eden so maby it is something else on my side that is wrong you think?

Hi again magnetism.
First of all I wanna highlight that I this time tryed to change the plugin starter from "makemkvcon" to "bin/makemkvcon" just for a try ( I know it should be makemkvcon! But U know u just gotta try something else if it wont play with the standard or how to say that in english ;|

Anyway! I posted the startpart of blu-ray plugin on pastebin. I see no errors myself, but maby you do cuz the movie wont start at all and my HTPC have freezed again.

http://pastebin.com/phA0esXX

Expiredate on the pastebin is one day so I hope you have time to atleast save the info for a look later on if you dont have time right away OoNod


----UPDATE----

When i set the buffer in MakeMKV to auto instead of 1024 and edited the buffer size inside the plugin to 240 sec instead it work to browse the Blu-Ray film and then to start the correct file from the browse section. It was not working to press "Play disc". I had to go through "browse disc"

What version of xbmc? What version of the plugin?

Try
"/usr/bin/makemkvcon" stream disc:0

from the command line and see what it says.

It should be a different file (version 1.1). Are you sure you selected the right one?

It was proberbly not the 1.1v i instelled yesterday. Anyway I just tryed the 1.1 as you pointed to and that one didnt even wanna install. -> "add-on does not have the correct structure." I get when I choose "install from zip-file" on the plugin.makemkvbluray-1.1.zip.

Thanks for the quick answers magnetism =)

Hello,
At first I installed the plugin on the Top of the first Post.

I had the same problem with xbmc while playing a blu ray disk. XBMC just freeze's.
Check your Bluray ID. with "makemkvcon info disc:0" Otherwise 1, 2,.... etc.
Then look in your default.py in .xbmc/addons/plugin-bluray in your home folder. Look for a Line with disc:0 or what ever and change it to your ID. Also you need to deaktivate the 30 day trail thing. Create a settings.conf in
/home/xbmc/.MakeMKV

My includes: #
# MakeMKV settings file, written by MakeMKV v1.5.5 beta linux(x64-release)
#

aacs_KeyFilesDir = ""
app_DestinationDir = ""
app_Key = "actual Beta key ...... "
app_ShowDebug = "1"
bdplus_DumpDir = ""


After this two steps. Playing a bluray works fine.

thx turboloader I will check that file and try that command. btw U mean to write that command straight into terminal right?

I managed to get the one located at http://www.bultsblog.com/plugin.makemkvbluray.zip (mentioned in optiix's original post) working out of the box.

There appear to be two others:
http://www.bultsblog.com/plugin.makemkvbluray-1.1.zip

and

http://www.bultsblog.com/BluRay-plugin-v01a.zip (listed in the OP of this thread)

Both of which gave me the "add-on does not have the correct structure" error.

Did check Disc:0 -> makemkvcon info disc:0 works fine but xbmc hangs / freezes.

Also did the settings,conf - ideas?

Edit:

i renamed the .xbmc folder, instaleld the plugin once again, checked location but any how it still totally freezes while the makemkvcon info command works fine. Think the problem must be located in the Addon for XBMC

Hello everyone.

Recent plugin zip works great with Eden 11 from Stable with 11.10 OO, 12.04 PP and a KDE 4.8. Applied as an add-on using the "...install from a zip file". The issues many have reported similar to "freeze" and others may be relative to procedure used, XBMC and system version and settings, GPU and drivers, the computer, componets, hardware and yes again...procedure or human error. If all is compatible and placed on an already stable system, then all should be good. Keep trying and I wish you all success.

Hoping all the features that are being tested in XBMC 12 Alpha nightlies are a go along with this plugin, then everyone will be very close experiencing all that is Bluray.Big Grin

I'm using two systems as listed before that are having two different issues.

Desktop:
i7 920 with 6GB RAM and Win 7 x64 trying to play a blu-ray off of an internal player.
The issue is that it will start the process and displays "Opening stream", then it shows the next screen with "XBMC 2%" at the top before ending with "Running MakeMKV ended abnormally. Is it installed?"
It definitely is installed, and when opened, MakeMKV shows
"Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:INVALID COMMAND OPERATION CODE' occurred while issuing SCSI command 46020..00140 to device 'SPTI:\Device\CdRom5'
DEBUG: Code 0 at u;:/02IfFy#P#"$e:213137183
Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:INVALID COMMAND OPERATION CODE' occurred while issuing SCSI command 46020..00140 to device 'SPTI:\Device\CdRom5'
DEBUG: Code 0 at u;:/02IfFy#P#"$e:213137183"

MakeMKV seems to work still since I can play it via VLC.


TVPC:
E-450 Foxconn with 4GB RAM and Win 7 x64 trying to play a blu-ray off of an external usb drive
MakeMKV doesn't seem to have any issues with the disc, but XBMC simply freezes when I click on "Play disc"

If anyone could give a bit of help with how this has been solved in the past, I would be very appreciative.
