+--- Thread: Linux HOW-TO playback Blu-ray Disc in XBMC for Linux with MakeMKV (Plugin Addon) (/showthread.php?tid=67420)

linuxluemmel Wrote:Yes ... as long you have NVIDIA chipset for the graphics ,-)
I made new packages for makemkv release 1.6.14
i understand that to play full hd media, one need to have graphics card like nvidia. but what about the bluray decrypting/copying process?

magnetism Wrote:Just to be clear: The script invokes an external program to start the stream which has no relation whatsoever with xbmc itself. I'm afraid that you're out of luck for now, sorry.
I guess you could get it to work by installing smb support locally and mounting your WHS shares straight on the filesystem.
Just a noob question. I am quite new to linux and still lack a lot of experience and knowledge, so bear with me.
Regarding the "file location" option, are you saying that I could install the smb server on my ubuntu 9.10 (with xbmc on top), mount my share and then possibly make it work with the "file location" option?? Is it even necessary to install the smb server??
Is it possible at all to make this plugin work with network shares??
What about the "REMOTE" option? How does that option work? Can someone please explain this option?
Thanks!

What can be wrong? Thanks.

When you execute
Code:
"makemkvcon" stream file:/media/windowsmachine/moviefolder/- magnetism - 2011-09-28
Actually, why are you streaming a folder? There should be something else in there, no?
- tenzion - 2011-09-28
Later today I will try to execute the makemkvcon command directly on the command line.
I will get back with the result.
It was just code-wise that I wrote the code like that. There is of course a .mkv file inside the folder. At the moment there's just the one .mkv file though.
- magnetism - 2011-09-28
You don't need this plugin to play mkv files, xbmc plays them by itself just fine..
This is mainly meant to stream blu-ray discs that have been encrypted, since xbmc cannot deal with that.
- tenzion - 2011-09-28
Doh... sorry! :-)
What I meant to write was that inside the folder there is a blu ray structure with an index.bdmv file!
- magnetism - 2011-09-28
And you did select that file to streaming right?
If you're on a more recent pre-Eden release with libbluray support you don't need this plugin
- tenzion - 2011-09-28
Yes, I use the plugin inside XBMC and choose "play file location" and navigate directly to the index.bdmv file.
I get the same result if I use "browse file location" and navigate to the index.bdmv file.
I'm still on Dharma 10.1 on a Ubuntu 9.10 pc. I am hesitating to install Eden nightlies, as I use XBMC Commander on my iPad as a remote for XBMC and I know the developer is working on an update to accomodate for the recent changes in JSON...
- tenzion - 2011-09-28
I don't know - is it possible to install libbluray on Dharma 10.1?
- magnetism - 2011-09-28
Yep, 10.1 can have it too. I think it's missing on the live install though.
- tenzion - 2011-09-28
Great! It works now!
The "makemkvcon" command directly at the command line gave a good hint as to what happened!
I have the following folder structure on my NAS:
/video/hd/folder name (year)
and when using the makemkvcon stream file:/media/NAS/folder name, i got the following error:
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
When I removed the "(year)" from my folder name, it worked instantly!!
- magnetism - 2011-09-28
Ahh, yes. There is a long standing issue with whitespaces and, apparently, special chars in the script which I've been too lazy to fix.

I am encountering an error:
makemkvcon[1358]: segfault at 0 ip 080669ff sp 95e33770 error 4 in makemkvcon[8048000+3c6000]
Does anyone know what this is?
