I'm trying to get Kodi to play bluray discs and have been banging my head against the wall for weeks trying to find a way. One forum said you need to install a plugin called HEVC and having spent the best part of a day searching for it (and the repo's it was allegedly contained within), I can tell say with confidence that it no longer exists anywhere. There's a good chance it never existed in the first place as I've found that most 3rd-party sites that claim to offer expert advice on Kodi tend to be written by self-appointed experts who don't actually have a clue (I've lost count of the times I've seen the pairing / captcha pop-up described as a "streaming error" with the "fix" being to switch off hosts with captchas!).
Anyway, I'd pretty much given up trying until today, when I decided to have one last bash at it - that's when I found the wiki page explaining about external players. This made my day as I thought I'd finally get this sorted - I have PowerDVD 16 installed so I just need these three files and it's sorted...
but that would have been too easy!
I got the Playercorefactory.xml file no problem, but the links to the Playdisc.bat and PlayISO.bat files lead to dead pages on a file hosting site that says these files are no longer available! I'm so close now, I can almost taste success! Can anyone please share a working link for these files, or just post the code and I'll copy / paste it into files myself.
In case it matters, I'm Using Leia 18.4 (the non Windows store version) on W10 Pro 64 Bit.
