I believe makemkv transcodes videos, so will need to decode and encode the video stream.
It won't make use of hardware acceleration (on embedded platforms).
It will take a long long time on anything less powerful than a desktop class PC (and will still be slow on a fast PC).

Use MakeMKV to make a MKV file of your BluRay and then media centres will play this file.

MakeMKV is for making a 1:1 video file of the Bluray disc. For playback on devices. It basically dumps the video and audio into h264 and whatever the source audio stream that you select is.

so all threads about playing bluray are about playing rippd BD not direct from the disc?
or is there any chance e.g. an addon that runs powerdvd or somting in the backround from within kodi userinterface?
