Full Version: Does Kodi Support Blu-Ray Playback?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
So, I recently bought a LG Blu-Ray/DVD External Drive.
I can watch DVD's directly from the menu when I place the disc in the drive.
If i do this with the Blu-Ray disc I get 3 options:
Play Title/See titles/Blu-Ray Menu
All of these options are unresponsive.
I have PowerDVD downloaded on my computer also and it works with that.
However, I need Blu-Ray Playback on the Kodi Menu for easy access.
Are there any plugins for PowerDVD on Kodi or any easy way to do this?
Thanks!

Edit: I need encrypted Blu-ray playback. Kodi already supports Unencrypted Blu-ray Playback.

3. There are a few options for Windows out there that are capable of encrypting BDs on the fly so that Kodi would be able to play them, but those tools might not be allowed in your region, so I's suggest going for 2.
How do I get it to be as flawless as seen here?

I get the menu options like seen in the video. But, it wont play.
Okay. After doing some searching and Googling. (I just made that a verb.)
It seems Kodi (Isengard v15) has "Unencrypted Blu-Ray Playback" already integrated.
Anyone know of a basic tutorial to play "Encrypted Blu-Ray Playback?"
I would like to be able to pop ANY Blu-Ray disc or Dvd into my External Disc Drive and play it directly off the Kodi interface.

I can play encrypted Blu-ray on PowerDVD. Looking for something like a theoretical PowerDVD Plugin for Kodi.

Tutorials? Suggestions? Plugins?
Use dvdfab passkey or anydvd hd software for get original bd running in kodi, don´t need nothing extra.

Check if is fine run this softwares in your country.

Use Kodi Jarvis, have libbluray 0.8.1 (don´t have bd java active in Kodi yet)
don´t work disc 3D (FFmpeg don´t have support mvc yet) will run 2D fine.
