Only i get stucked on step 8. I use Xbmc live so i don't have a GUI.
It say that the beta key is valid until January 2011

You don't need a gui to put in the serial .... You need only a terminal and a editor of your choice ,-)

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=650284&postcount=484

All you need is a valid beta key (I guess this will com son).
The current BETA-key from the makemkv url was expired on 01/01/11

BTW The evaluation modes is allways 30 days after the installation.

If you install the software along the debian way .....

* You can remove makemkv with the command dpkg -r name-of-deb.deb
* To see what command you need to remove makemkv with dpkg is
easy as well.

Code:
dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep makemkv 

will produce the following output :

user@xbmcdev:~$ dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep makemkv 

ii  makemkv-v1.6.3-bin                    20101219-1                                      Package created with checkinstall 1.6.1

ii  makemkv-v1.6.3-oss                    20101219-1                                      Package created with checkinstall 1.6.1

user@xbmcdev:~$ 

to remove this 2 packages we would need the command 

dpkg -r makemkv-v1.6.3-bin

dpkg -r makemkv-v1.6.3-oss

* You can easy install makemkv with the command dpkg -i name-of-deb.deb

* This is the way software should installed or removed on Debian based system.

Thx for your perfect clear help. When the new key is available i will add it as you explained.

Hey guys,

In theory, will this work on an ASRock ION 333 system? I followed the instructions (actually found out about this on lifehacker.com) and when I try to play a blu-ray disc, it doesn't even get to the "preparing blu-ray" window. It seems to spin up the disc, think a bit, and just hang.

Any suggestions? How do I enable xbmc / plugin logs?

Thanks,
Kablooie

Have you installed the plugin.makemkvbluray.zip from a few posts above (install add-on from zip file)?

I saw on the following url that there is a new beta Key (valid until 02.01.2011)

After Upgrade to new XMBC blu ray plugin dissapeared - Rafal - 2011-01-04

Dear all,

After I upgraded to the new XMBC the bluray add-on plugin disappeared from the add-on menu and I cannot put it there anymore... Consequently I cannot run bluray discs anymore. Is there any solutions to that?

Than U in advance

Hi everybody,

I just tried the makemkv plugin on my xbmc 10.0.

I then browsed for a index.bdmv on a test bluray I have stored on my nas. It then starts counting up the % to 100% while waiting for a stream. And than the message "Playback failed" comes up...

Here is my log file from the playback:

You can't stream from an SMB share like that. MakeMKV needs access on the filesystem level, it cannot use the XBMC reference smb://

So if I would move the Folder from the NAS to the local harddrive it would work? Or over USB?

Yes, or you could mount the smb share on the local file system, that would work too. However, since XBMC 10 has libbluray support, you should be able to play that blu ray rip straight from XBMC. No need for makemkv.

I had the xbmcfreak maverik 10 v2 installed. Installed xbmc live 10.0 now and tried it again. Worked out pretty well, took about 10 seconds to initialize but than it runs smooth and works.

But the bluray I have still does not work... I tried the addon you created... It freezes. I cant control it anymore thru the keyboard. I created a putty session to the xbmc and checked the log.

Here you go:

Ok, so when you type makemkvcon in the commandline it works. Hmmm, strange. I don't see anything wrong in the logs. It creates the right command to start stream an inserted blu ray disc.

How long did you wait before killing XBMC?
