I cannot get bluray disc playback to work in pre-eden. I do not want to use a external player either. Any help would be great.

XBMC can't play BluRay disks, and it won't be able to play BluRay disks until someone writes public domain code to do it. At the moment an external player is the only way to play BluRay disks.
The only alternative is to rip the disks to mkv files. XBMC can play those.

Pre Eden can play Bluray ISO. I know that for a fact because I just watched one last night.
The poster bluray on the boards even has instructions to get it to play with DTS-HD MA, which I can also confirm works.

Apparently OpenElec can play a commerical (ie encrypted) Bluray straight from the disc using a MakeMKV plugin.
I don't have a BD player on my OpenElec box to test.

oh, i forgot mention one important thing earlier. it still can playback bd movie directly from bd-rom, but you have to navigate a couple steps to get to index.bdmv to playback the movie. it's still almost as good as autoplay but with a couple more clicks!
you can find the guide in my signature below.
