I have several Blu-ray movies, which I own, that I have ripped to a NAS drive with 4 2TB hard drives. I ripped the Blu-rays using DVDFab, so they are in separate folders, with the name of the folder being the name of the movie. I also have several DVD movies ripped in the same way on the NAS drive. I am running XBMC Eden 11.0 on a high-powered Windows 7 machine, hooked up to a wide-screen plasma TV. I have the XBMC library set up with all the Blu-ray and regular DVD movie plots listed and so forth, so I can pick a movie from the list and watch it. All that is well and good.
The problem seems to be the Blu-ray movie player in XBMC Eden 11.0. If I watch a regular DVD movie from XBMC, it is fine and works great. However, if I watch a Blu-ray movie with XBMC, it is a bit "jerky" at times, where the picture stops, then skips forward, etc. I have determined that it is the XBMC Blu-ray player that is the culprit. If I watch the exact same Blu-ray movie from the exact same hard drive folder on the NAS using TotalMedia Theatre 5, there is no jerkiness at all. However, I can't access my XBMC library (at least I know of no way) from within TMT5, so I have to start a movie "manually" by navigating to the NAS folder from within TMT5, and then watching it. I would like to do this automatically from within XBMC, and start the movie from the library. But instead of using the XBMC Blu-ray player, I would like to use TMT5. Like I said, regular DVD movies play fine with the XBMC player, so I only need to do this for Blu-rays.
Is there a way to make XBMC use TMT5 for Blu-rays and the internal player for regular DVD's, when playing movies that are saved in folders on a NAS drive? It would also be fine to just use TMT5 for all movies, both Blu-rays and regular DVD's. Any ideas?
