Hi
Thanks for the update appears to be working fine here ..but Smile
Im wondering if this is an issue?
Code:
ERROR: /home/wozza/.xbmc/addons/abultman-plugin.makemkvbluray-dab2624/resources/lib/makemkv.py:103: DeprecationWarning: os.popen4 is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
                                              (fin, fout) = os.popen4('%s -r' %(self.settings.mkvLocation))
Im using the git ver (prob stating the obvious due to the path in the above Smile ) Eden beta2 on top of a live install..
Thanks
Wozza

Your question may be better answered on the Openelec boards.

Thumbs Up  2012-02-14 09:48 Bluray language default .. Post: #414
Hi,

I discovered that my posted problems are related to a special Bluray [that couldn't be played even with PowerDVD] .. other blurays work well. Great Job !

Unfortunately there are some problems with choosing the "right" audio stream. Sometimes a bluray is played with german [for me okay ;-] audio sometimes with english audio.

.. do you think that it is possible it enhance the plugin with some language default choices ? Makemkv seems to offer different streams that the plugin chooses by size to identificate the main movie; is there any chance to choose it by some sort of language default ??

Btw. the progressbar doesn't work with eden beta 2 [opdenkamp builds] ..

hi, thanks for this plugin which I had a quick go at trying to get to work last night. Do I need a particular version of MakeMKV? I installed the latest from here http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 as per the instructions and then installed the addon at the beginning of this thread. Should that be all I need to do? It is was just freezing on me last night.

I am on the latest ver of XBMCbuntu, changed the path to point to mkvcon in setttings. Bluray loads up in the mkv application.

I get lots of disc activity but nothing happens on screen.

Cheers

when I run the mkvcon from the command line i get the evaluation message, could this be screwing the script upConfused

Edit yes.... needed to put key in. Jaysus.

Hi guys,

I have a problem using the makemkv script on my xbmc 10.1 machine (on Arch Linux, 3.2.7-1-ARCH x86_64).

When I start makemkvcon myself on the console and choose play/browse remote, everything works perfectly fine. But when choosing play/browse disk, xbmc hangs immediately (and won't even return after the 120s timeout).

After having a look into the log and default.py, there seems to be a problem with the subprocess.call() / subprocess.Popen() calls:
Code:

When calling the corresponding functions in a seperate python2 shell, everything works fine:
Code:
[xbmc./home/xbmc/.xbmc]python2
Python 2.7.2 (default, Nov 21 2011, 17:25:27)
[GCC 4.6.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.Popen("/usr/bin/makemkvcon stream disc:0", shell=True)
<subprocess.Popen object at 0x7f7a47dc0510>
>>> MakeMKV v1.7.1 linux(x64-release) started
Profile parsing error: default profile missing, using builtin default
[...]
KeyboardInterrupt
>>> subprocess.call('killall -9 makemkvcon', shell=True)
0

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?
Thanks, Chris

Ignore this post. I was just downloading the wrong file. Atleast I got the BluRay plugin installed into XBMC now.
Should see if it can run Robin Hood BD now!
