Now that this is working in development builds, I figured we should have a thread outside the dev forum to discuss issues and submit bug reports and feature requests.
Just to be clear, this is the parsing of Blu-Ray ISO files directly within XBMC, these are full decrypted backup images of the retail movie. Menus are not supported and they will probably never be. This simply loads a Blu-Ray ISO and plays the main movie, that's it.
What works:
Windows and Linux builds, have not tested it on Mac/AppleTV platforms.
Movie chapters from the Blu-Ray disc seems to work just fine
Audio stream switches
Only subtitles included on the disc and those downloaded from the subtitles addon seems to show. A subtitle with the same name as the ISO file is not automatically loaded. (Thanks ashlar!)
What doesn't work:
Menus! DO NOT ASK WHEN THIS WILL CHANGE.
It's finicky with some movies, for instance American Gangster only plays a menu still for about half a second before quitting.
