I have updated Rodney the Server (please read the entire thread to find out why he is called that) so that it has a Blu Ray drive. As I have to Raspberry Pi's, one connected to the projector and one to my TV with no Blu Ray player in site - and that I have been caught out TWICE with digital download services, I needed a way to have HD physical copies to be able to be ripped and played.
I was going to go down the Full On HTPC route, but this was cheaper. Bit of jiggery pockery with Libreelec and learning quickly how to do it, I am most impressed with the Blu ray Library!
My Blu ray collection at present is small, only because I used Sky Store Buy and Keep (which the time I used didn't offer Blu Ray) which once you leave Sky - no access to your digital copies, and Amazon, again lost my account - ergo lost digital downloads, as this was the way I bought movies for a few years.
The aim was to not get caught out again - and it has worked!
What I have done is created a 'Favourites' item that goes straight to the ripped folder, and this has worked! (YAY)
