Can mplayer playback blu-ray ?

[invisible]

For mplayer, I use vdpau to playback HD video so right now mplayer is all I can use for it. I'm thinking about a BDR drive to playback blu-ray, but can mplayer playback blu-ray like it does dvd? I hear stuff about ripping to a decrypted image, but this is no good. So mplayer can't use the decrypt library and playback blu-ray directly? I'll have to forget about getting a drive if so.

[microchip8]

no, but today a guy came on mplayer-dev mailing list and he's currently working on a patch for it to add native BD support to mplayer so it'll be able (hopefully - somewhere in the future) to play BD discs just like it does now for DVDs. He's also working on AACS and in the future BD+ decryption. There's on going discussion on how to add this patch - built-in into mplayer or a separate library. There is libbluray project but it's been abandoned (though the guy on the mplayer list said someone picked it up) and is also coded in C++ (lolwut?) which could be problematic for mplayer as generally the devs are not very fond of C++ code in mplayer, though it does link to some

i have a method for read bluray
i use svn version of mplayer compil with vdpau
and i install dumphd
and i use this command :

./dumphd.sh --infile:BDMV/STREAM/000054.m2ts /media/cdrom | mplayer -cache 8192 -lavdopts threads=4 -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau -

(change 000054.m2ts by the right file)

it's work perfectly for me (for mkbv1->v10)

That's very interesting. Does anyone else have experiences with that technique? I'm wondering if there's any caveats. Subs, audio, cpu use, smoothness? And what's BD+ and does dumphd handle it? btw, thanks for posting that.

Native BluRay Support in MPlayer would be sooo nice

[Tariella]

I wrote a little guide on bluray playback using dumphd and mplayer.
It is written to work for my linux distro (gentoo) but it should work for all others too. You can find it here.

Please notice that depending on your country it might not be legal to bypass the copy protection.

[cRTrn13]

I'm that guy working on native support for bluray in mplayer. A patch has already been submitted. It works (for AACS only) - just pull it off the net if you want to try it out. But it's v early days so expect issues.

We're currently discussing if there are better ways to go about the whole bluray (aacs/bd+) thing and there is something in the works by some other people so stay tuned...

[XYZ123]

I'm using mplayer with a little patch and a library for bluray playback on my HTPC.

You just nedd to install the library and apply the patch to latest mplayer source.


Then you can playback blurays with
mplayer bluray://playlist:chapter//mountPath
playlist ans chapters are optional parameters.

e.g.: mplayer bluray:///media/cdrom0

more informations are in the readme file.

Supports AACS until mkb 10, (backwards and forwards) seeking and movies, which are splitted over more than one file.

Needs openssl 0.9.8 to be installed!

If you have any questions just ask.

[microchip8]

@ XYZ123

why don't you post your patch to mplayer-dev mailing list?

[XYZ123]

It is not just a patch, but also a library and before I make it more public and post source code it needs to be tested a little bit more.
(it is only tested with 2 blurays, I do not have more)

[microchip8]

Well, you can post it on the list and get together with the other guys who are working on native BD support for MPlayer. He still has questions and I'm sure both of you can benefit from this collaboration and in the end all will benefit too when finally BD support is added to MPlayer

Further, devs on the list will also comment on your code and test it, as they have done so with the code of the dev working on BD support for MPlayer

[cRTrn13]

I'm that other dev and i'm definately interested in your patch (and more so in your library...). There are a number of library projects going on (some behind the scenes) - maybe all could benefit from your code (you should definately release as soon as possible). There is no point in having different ppl working on the same thing in different directions...

[teox99]

i'm interested in your project too.
i can make some tests and reports for a lot of BD
please let me know if you need help on devel or others.

[XYZ123]

@teox99

Would be nice, if you test it on some blurays and report errors and bugs.

[teox99]

i followed the instruction in Readme file to build libbluray
i patched svn mplayer

but this is the output while i try to open a BD

user[~]$ mplayer bluray:///media/43501845_VOLUME_ID

Exiting... (End of file)

[XYZ123]

Are you sure the patch is applied correctly to mplayer?
Can you look in mplayers configure.log, if libbluray is enabled.

Openssl needs to be linked in with -lcrypto

[TomZ]

It doesn't compile. I think (but am not sure) it's because my distro is x86_64.

@TomZ

Library only works on x86_32, but i will post sourcecode soon.(try to get it ready over weekend)
Then you can compile your libbrary for x86_64.
