This is so frustrating. I can't get this to work either. I have tried multiple different versions of OpenELEC/xbmc, and 2 different versions of the plugin. I have makemkv installed, from the OpenELEC add-ons, and installed the plugin from here (as well as another version listed in the thread), and no luck with any combination tried so far. With everything installed, when I click on the plugin it pops up a window saying it is preparing the file, my bluray drive activity light comes on, but only for about 10-20 seconds, and the progress bar moves, but then when it finishes it just gives an error. With one of the plugins I tried it brings up the xbmc progress window but it never actually moves, but after 2 minutes it gives the same error. OpenELEC/xbmc knows there is a disc in the drive, because without a disc in the drive there is no play disc or browse disc option in the plugin, but with the disc in the drive those options show up, and in some cases xbmc shows the "play disc" option in the home window. ONE of the plugins would actually show the disc title (movie title), while the other would only display disc volume information without a title. Everything else with this setup works flawlessly, I just can't get the stinkin' bluray working.
Why can't this just be simple and WORK?! Lol.
I appreciate everyone's effort on this project, I just wish I was one of the lucky ones that is able to make it work. I'd really like to do away with my HD-DVR through my cable provider, AND my separate bluray player, and replace it all with an all-in-one solution.
By the way, the system is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000 with 1gb ram, an Nvidia GT610 pci-e card with 1gb ram, and a Buffalo external (usb) bluray super-multi drive (which is apparently actually an LG SATA bluray super-multi drive in a buffalo external usb housing. I have actually tried it via both USB externally, as well as removing the drive from the usb housing and installing it internally on the SATA connection, with the same results each time).
Any suggestions, ideas, help, MAGIC, is greatly appreciated.
