Blu-ray ISO image (UDF 2.5/2.6) playback support in XBMC - help discussion thread

Yay BD iso playback is what I have been waiting for . I tried out a bunch of blu-ray isos, and most play without problems. However I have noticed that discs that have a lot of extra content, XBMC plays the extras rather than the main feature. So I guess it just selects the longest feature to playback?

I loaded the 3/7/2011 build last night and my bluray ISOs mostly play fine with the exception of Iron Man 2. That movie gets constant audio and video buffer underruns. This is across a gigabit network. Movie plays fine in TMT5 and also on the Boxee Box I have. Though on Boxee it plays with the extras turned on.

But it's an awsome feature, one step away from dumping TMT, only need it for bluray disc in tray playback now.

^ Yea it's a big step for XBMC in the right direction, it would be able to replace my needs for any other software on my HTPC if it had:

- External subtitle support with ISO's
- Feature selection
- Media info scanning support on ISO's

Is the Mario Sitz ppa still the best place to get the ISO support (for Live) or is there someplace better? I upgraded to 10.1 and lost this feature

I should also probably add that I had to turn of Microsoft's stupid multimedia throttling to get bluray streaming to work across my network. It would only stream 1.5Mbps in TMT5, XBMC, and PowerDVD until I turned it off, causing unbearable stuttering....

Has anyone tested this on ATV v1, iOS or OS X builds? It *should* work, but I'd like to confirm it before revising my initial post.

To the devs, is there any room for improvement here? Will we be able to eventually select from a list of titles so we can pick a theatrical or extended cut of a movie? It appears it automatically picks the longest title and plays that, which isn't always the movie.

Wow this actually works.

Ps.. External subs are working for me.
Only I could use the feature to reposition the subs out of the black bars..

Next HD audio and I won't need an external player anymore.

Is there any way to get the a 3D iso to play in 3D, works fine if mounted and played via PowerDVD. I can only get them to play in normal 2D. Sorry if I am missing something obvious or if 3D playback is not supported.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I don't get it to work. Compiled opdenkamps xbmc-git with libbluray enabled. When I mount the bluray-iso manual than I can see the main feature. I have got the following problems.

• bluray-iso-automount doesn't work (dvd-iso-automount is ok)
• when I mount an iso manual I can see subtitles, but not synchron. I think, they are shown very fast or only sometimes.
• can't fastforward/rewind to chapters

I compiled libbluray before xbmc from videolan-git with the following options enabled: "./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-bdjava"

Where is the problem? Do I need some special package to automount bluray-iso?

Is it possible to use iso-automount with the git from opdenkamp or only with the ppa from mario sitz? I use the following system:

ubuntu 11.04 x86_64,
xbmc pre11.0 opdenkamp-git:20110728,
etobis vdr-1.7.18-2, vnsi 0.9.0

Greetings

I used AnyDVD HD to rip MY Dark Knight BR disc to an ISO. XBMC Finds it, and puts it in the movie list. But when i try to play it, nothing happens. At all. I hit Play, and the menu image doesn't budge, as if no button was pressed.

I was hoping that at least THAT movie would play, as evidenced in the first post of this thread. Using MPC-HC externally does nothing, either I guess I'm stuck with ripping my BRs to .mkv, for now.

Win 7 x464, XBMC 10.1.
