Hi i'm sure some are probably aware of this already - well i know of at least one xbmc dev is.
Anyway following an article I read on phoronix regarding mplayer now supporting most bluray codecs just the other day.

After following the link trail - It is finally looking as if there is a small growing team creating a lib for native bluray support for linux libbluray2.0, which is still active.

I had been keeping half an eye out for progress on bluray for linux but never come across this thread until now. it sounds quite promising.
It terms of XBMC they have details of their libbluray api:

From what i've read it is quite early days and they still seem to be seeking developers. Would be nice to get the word around I suppose so more people with a bit of knowledge could also maybe help contribute to the development.
