Will this work for any commercial disc?

Most, especially if you buy the full MakeMKV keep getting the updates. I've tested it with multiple commercial Blu-Rays, including one's that were released in the last 6 months and it works fine.

cant get it to work on my openelec box too..
i have used the libaacs method before fine (with the keydbblabliblub in the right location) and could play my blurays fine. without menu of course but enough to live with it. Now i got game of thrones bd for my birthday and they wont work with the built in method... guess it needs a newer master key. as far as i understand the whole key thing i cant play any other new blurays anymore that i havent played before too. Until i get a new key but the newest i could find is from april last yar.

Now i tried makemkv but i cant get it to work. Installed the plugin and makemkv addon but after getting the disc "raped" by the drive for 3 Minutes it just stops and wont continue, i was hearing the HBO intro sound once but wasnt seeing anything and xbmc crashed right after it too.

i would even love to pay for a working solution but i guess i have to get a standalone player now Sad

I can get the plugin to play the Bluray but there is no sound.
I have sound everywhere else in xbmc except for Blurays.

Any advice on what to do?

Hi

I just installed the Blu-ray add-on but am not sure what to do with it?

How do I install MakeMKV ?

"A working install of MakeMKV. If you're installing under Linux, make sure you install both the source and the binary package, otherwise the commandline tool won't be there."

Also I can only see a Play Disc menu item when in the Confluence skin, how would I also get this menu item in Aeon MQ4?

I assume the Play Disc menu item is part of XBMC that appears when a optical disc is inserted and not something the Blu-ray add-on adds to the system?

Thanks

Is there any instructions to get this to work for Frodo running on OS X 10.8?
