Doesn't just reading an encrypted DVD (nevermind blu-ray) require a license? Yet xbmc does that just fine (well, minus "Toy Story 3" anyway).

I'm running XBMC 10.0 Live and am very happy with it.
I read that xbmc now supports blu ray, so I replaced my internal DVD-writer
with an internal blu ray (LG CH10).
It's playing DVD's and CD's but no blu ray.
Can anyone please advise? I've read that there are some tweaks needed, but couldn't find a tutorial for XBMC Live.
Or should I return the BD player?
Thx!
Thomas.

i use dvdfab passkey -> http://www.dvdfab.com/passkey-for-blu-ray.htm
but not working...
Thomas VDB Wrote:Hi Wes,It's not that the devs don't want to, but Bluray playback in general on Linux is very much a big technical problem (licensing and programs that are able to decrypt Blurays).
thanx for the clear answer !
I really want to keep using xbmc : I have my movies and photos all stored on a FreeNAS, and like that my htpc doesn't need a hard disk (noise), as it boots from usb.
Is there any development going on for the support of blu ray on Live? I can't imagine that the developers of such a great media center solution don't care about blu ray ?
For the moment I'll use the internal bd-rom in my desktop to rip the BD discs.
But I hope to be able to use it as soon as possible in my htpc.
Thanx anyway!
Thomas.

If it works fine on Wine it would be a VERY good thing for Linux user once we would have blurays being played using DVDFab Passkey + XBMC 10...If the problem is that the drive won't show: You can use the command "winecfg" to configure which Linux mounts appear under which drive letter in wine.
Anxious to heard about it!
