While this is Windows-only and proprietary, doesn't DVDFab PassKey allow Bluray to be played within XBMC? I don't have a Bluray drive to test this out with, but it's supposed to be a driver that decrypts discs on the fly, so that any program that can read unencrypted Bluray rips should be able to play them off the disc using PassKey.

That's a good point. AnyDVD HD has a similar feature for on-the-fly decryption. Might have to try that out.

I recon it would be awesome to have a bit of (non xbmc) software to do the decryption, and share the device on a network, this would mean not having to get a blu ray drive for each client, you just point xbmc at the network shared device.

on windows you can easily use players like PowerDVD or Arcsoft Total Media Theatre as external players for full BluRay/HD-DVD support. It's working like a charm here, having "index.bdmv" files mapped to TMT player and added .bdmv files to the video-formats in XBMC. But sure, it'll be nicer to be able to play blurays (without the JAVA stuff) directly in XBMC.

Hello!
If you could ask for anything better that would make XBMC, you have full support for Blu-Ray I need the HDD for playback. Not only play the m2ts, but full support for Blu-Ray HDD for playback (menus, extras etc).
Ways may also ask for
1; Dharma beta 4 ISO DVD -> Blu-Ray ISO playback, complete with menu.
2; BDMV folder to the Media Library, the film starts (Media Library) in the M2TS not start, but the entire BD menu.
I think that many therefore choose instead to Dune HTPC or other media players instead of there because they have the support and services to the BD not only enjoy half off.
Thank you very much for XBMC developers of this program is brilliant, I hope what you manage to buy my first HTPC, maybe you've had in my Blu-Ray Disc Also I can play its full extent.
A grateful user of Hungary.
I used google translate to translate.

Total Media Theater 5 or Power DVD 10 and previous versions, both of them have full BD support and can be used/launched from XBMC. They also have 7MC interfaces and integration.
