I assume you mean me ACE, here's a link to The Avengers menu, I found with this rip that after selecting the language it takes a few seconds for the menu to load in TMT5, don't know why.

EDIT: oookkeeyy that's weird, I just converted the full ISO of The Avengers to BR folders again and now the menus are working?? still a bit buggy, but they work, weird, all I got the last time was "working" spinning endlessly. Don't know what went wrong the last time.....

Nevertheless, it's a helpful sample, because the "courser" overlay is not rendered correctly. Thx!

New win32 build: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/win32...4f-bdj.exe
You need to extract the attached zip into the folder "system/players/dvdplayer"

As said before bdj menus don't work for isos. You need to mount them.

Confirmed working on Windows 8.1 x64 with this build.

Test Bluray: Disney World of Wonder Calibration Disc.
This Disc works if I copy the files to my local machine's hard drive and launch the index.bdmv file. Launching these files over an SMB share does not work. Let me know if you need me to post any additional info. I would love to help test this. Ultimately, I would love to use this inside of xbmcbuntu since that's what my main media centers run.

I still haven't gotten around to recompiling everything with the latest libbluray, but was wondering, what is the technical issue preventing playing iso's? I was wondering if I could help debug or do some testing or research to get it working?

[Ace]

The java part of libbluray does not use our read functions (or vfs) and it simply can't read isos. My guess is that it needs quite some time till this is possible.

[dcsmith]

So I'm just trying to figure this out then. I'm not 100% clear how blu ray playing works yet, but from what you're saying there is a vfs layer in kodi that can read media files off of an iso, but if bdj menus are used then that java needs to be able to read and write to the directories using an regular old fileinputstream. Your initial idea is to have the java code read an iso, and you can tell me if i'm completely off base with this idea, and i'll obviously investigate more, but what if the kodi vfs were exposed to the java layer through jni? In looking over the java bluray classes there are a few occurences of a file or fileinputstream but they could maybe do a detect for a kodivfsfile or kodivfsinputstream? Does that proposal sound at all reasonable?

hpi, the maintainer of libbluray is working on a general solution. You can chat with him on the irc channel #libbluray. Java developers are always welcome

I'm trying to use the Aeon MQ5 "mod" skin with ACE''s build from post 200 but I am constantly getting "dependences not met" error when I try to install the skin, I assume this is because the skin is designed for the latest stable release of KODI which it does install on without problems, Any chance of a libbluray compile with the latest version of KODI??

EDIT: ok I found a temporary solution if I install the latest stable release of KODI, install the skin and then reinstall ACE's build over it (including the attached files), the skin stays working with Ace's build, so far so good....

I´m on kodibuntu 64 Bit and have libbluray-bdj installed.

Do i still have to compile my own build of kodi?

[Rob55Levo]

I've been testing this build a lot now on my windows 8.1 machine, I converted all of my 350 Blu-ray ISO's to folders (that took a while!) just to do so. I have set KODI to "always play Blu-ray menus" in settings with TMT6 as a back up player.
I'd say just over half of my collection is playable, there are a lot of bugs though, but most of them do not cause the Blu-ray not to play, examples are menus popping up before they should as the disk is playing the movie intro, this happens a lot but the disk still plays, also when selecting a special feature it can take a few seconds before the selection plays, this often happens with the main movie too.
A big problem I think though is that some movies wont skip chapters and also wont let me access KODI's OSD menu when I press enter or OK on my MCE remote (it will show the OSD if I press "M" on the Keyboard though, but still cant skip chapters) "Apocalypse Now Original Version and Redux" Blu-ray is an example of this.
Another really big problem I have come across is that KODI will never play the Blu-ray from the point it was last played, no matter what you select the movie will always start from the beginning. (having "play Blu-ray menu" in settings may be affecting this, but it is still a bug)
Anyway this is just a big FYI for anyone else interested in testing this.
If anyone wants me to help test anything just ask

So I've copied a bdmv from the iso to a folder and am playing movieobject.bdmv through the file interface. It's then pulling up the short menu and I'm selecting play blu ray menu. It then spins forever

Its INDEX.BDMV you want to play

[dcsmith]

Index.bdmv pulls up the short menu as well, and then spins forever as well

This is a kodi compiled from ace's git, but still using a .6.2 libbluray, though I don't see any changes in there that would effect just getting the working. Playing the title directly works fine. openjdk 1.7 xbmcbuntu as a baseline.

thx @Rob55Levo for the report! I've made some progress in the timing issues and will provide a new test buils soon.
