Isn't it sufficient to have:

It doesn't depend on what file format you have on that offline media. So it doesn't matter if it's a bluray, dvd or a mkv on that disc, although it might get a bit more complicated if the media doesn't have a standard type (like bluray, DVD) to start autoplay on those discs. I'm not sure how to handle situations with multiple video files on one disc. I'm not even sure how to index that. I think you would need a offline file for each movie and the name of the offline file would have to match the filename on the disk.
For offline music it might become much more complicated. Just imagine a real audio CD - XBMC would have to look up CDDB or something to find out what's on that CD. While this might be possible, it's impossible for XBMC to guess which songs would be on a custom MP3 disc - so I think there is no way to support those via fake-offline-files. For those you'd need real offline support like for exchangeable USB harddisks - but this is out of the scope of the fake-file-offline-concept - but there should be a pending patch/ticket for this already.
