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

batrad Wrote:success..

I followed the instructions on the makemv site to downgrade the package down to 1.4.11 and now I'm able to stream from Disc...

cryptic, but a little search helped...

Unfortunately, I'm still unable to stream via a share..

Did see some threads about spaces in the script.. appreciate if someone can share the updated script that may help

Thanks

Whe you say 'share' what do you mean exactly? makemkv needs filesystemlevel access so if you're using xbmc in build options for smb or ftp etc. That won't work now (and possibly not ever)

My machine keeps crashing, I can see something is wrong in the log file but I'm not sure what it means.

By share I mean one of my WHS Drives that are mapped to XBMC for video stream

I can browse the share (opens a list of my mapped locations, I select the location with the ISO), select the ISO, it goes to 100% and then nothing..

let me know if you would like me to capture another debug log..

Thanks

You're still not being totally clearing. However, going with what you're saying you've done this by adding an smb source in xbmc. As such it's not available to the makemkv program. It needs to be part of the os level filesystem for makemkv to start using it. Makemkv doesn't support smb natively.

Just to be clear: The script invokes an external program to start the stream which has no relation whatsoever with xbmc itself. I'm afraid that you're out of luck for now, sorry.

I guess you could get it to work by installing smb support locally and mounting your WHS shares straight on the filesystem.

magnetism,

Sorry for the confusion. I did add the shares via XBMC SMB..

My need for BluRay is to play Discs (rentals via NetFlix) and not burns for now..

The current setup works for me

Now to find a way to stream Netfix in XBMC Live (know its far far away...)
Thanks

No worries. I'd like that scenario to work as well but currently i just see no way.

Im still having the issue of Loading up a Blu-Ray in the internal player of the Asrock. Start script -> 100% complete -> Script just close without any action.

Is there anything im missing the set-up?

Running v10 of Erhnams disc (Makemkv 1.4.11)

TIA, M

what is your setup? I see you have makemkv, did you also install the commandline version? Does makemkvcon work from the commandline? Try and see if you can stream a bluray disc without the script. If all that fails let me know.

As I know nothing of linux.. With command line would that be terminal via SSH or brining up some commandline in XBMC Live?

terminal via ssh (or from gui if you have a full installation of ubuntu)

you need to do this:

makemkvcon stream disc:0
