Please find the dvdfab code and backport it to the current Kodi code. Then make it work for all platforms. Report back when complete

I knew I would get those kind of reply. If if been somewhat ungrateful I'm sorry.

Also I'm not talking about decrypting the disks. I'm talking about playing already decrypted content.

I believe that nickr is actually talking about DVDFab player code which includes the BD menu support code. So not specifically the decryption code.

Fact is that DVDFab is not sharing the full source code for its internal player code from its Kodi / XBMC fork which they have to according to the GPL.

Anyway, it is the code from DVDFab's Kodi / XBMC fork internal player code that you need to get at to get the same BD menu support in Kodi as DVDFab has.

So i'd say DVDFab wouldn't give too hoots about releasing any source code changes as required by the GPL licence. I also doubt Kodi has the legal budget of MPAA to fight DVDFab should their product be a fork of XBMC/Kodi where such source code changes should be made available but have not (remebering MPAA is spending $$$$$ on whack a mole). Mind you, it could be that DVDFab provides all their BD/UHD code as a binary addon within their Kodi fork which may not require they release anything associated with this feature of interest. But who knows how the feature has been added, i don't.

The way that DVDFab made their binaries all their media player and dependencies code should covered by GPL and as such requires them to release it.

And as I understand XBMC Foundation / Team Kodi has the backing of Software Freedom Law Center as legal representation.

So, the XBMC Foundation / Team Kodi should just really get SFLC to sue DVDFab (and VidOn) in order to get all the code.

DVDFab have now had several years to release the fully source code of its forks and dependecy libs as per the GPL.
