MPlayer Bluray?

[Selur]

did anyone work out how to make mplayer playback a BD (unencrypted in a folder on a hdd) with the newest build from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/ ?

I tried a bunch of combinations with bd://, -dvd-device, -bd-device, -bluray-device but didn't get it to work. :(

Never tried on Windows, but in principle:
mplayer -bluray-device <path to folder that contains BDMV> bd://<title number>
To figure out the title number, look for the largest file in BDMV/STREAM
Of course you need a KEYDB.cfg in the appropriate place, the error message will tell you where it looks for it.

mplayer -bluray-device "d:\TESTBD\BDMV" bd://1
results in:
Playing bd://1.
File not found: 'd:\TESTBD\BDMV/AACS/Unit_Key_RO.inf'
Failed to open d:\TESTBD\BDMV/AACS/Unit_Key_RO.inf.
Cannot open file d:\TESTBD\BDMV/AACS/Unit_Key_RO.inf to get UK and DiscID
Failed to open bd://1.
No message about a KEYDB.cfg. :((+ I got no AACS folder; I thought both would only be there if the BD was encrypted)

Uh, unencrypted BDs officially do not exist.
Also, you can just play the appropriate .m2ts file in BDMV/STREAM, the only thing you miss compared to bd:// is the language names for subtitles and audio tracks.
Otherwise you might get additional features with a MPlayer version compiled with libbluray support and using bluray:// to play. That currently only supports unencrypted data. I never tried it myself so no idea about how it works.

the x264 Demo BD doesn't exist? one can't author a bd and save the structur?

which is a pain if the .mpls stretches over multiple files,..

afaik the latest build from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/ was compiled with libbluray,...

That totally explains why your post doesn't help in regard to my problem.

Sure you can, but by my knowledge of the specification it's not a Blu-ray then...

Ok, never had that case, but bd:// can't handle that either. You want br:// or bluray:// then. You should be able to see from the error message if libbluray support was compiled in.

That totally explains why your post doesn't help in regard to my problem.

No, it just means I can't help you much getting bluray:// to work, but now that you said what you actually want, I can tell you that Blu-ray support via bd:// is completely irrelevant to _you_ and trying to get it to work is a waste of time.

Okay, than I totally don't get the point on the mplayer homepage that states: "Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray."

[Reimar]

ARGH! Yes, that's why I am trying to tell you to use the libbluray support by using br:// or bluray:// (which is the part I have never tested). But you have been using bd:// which does _not_ use libbluray and which does _not_ have the features _you_ want (but which I _have_ used)!

[Selur]

Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

Small question: Is there a way to play a specific .mpls Playlistfile with MPlayer aside from first figuring out which title matches to which mpls?

[DMD]

Sorry EDIT.......

[foxyshadis]

I think you wanted either the MPC-HC or MPC-BE thread, not MPlayer, which is a completely unrelated player.

[DMD]

APOLOGIZE! :o

I am confused with MPHC.

Tried a match mpls to mplayer title, by first creating a mplayerTitle<>length mapping (using mplayer output) and a mpls<>length mapping (using mediaInfo) and then matching one against the other, problem is that often multiple title have the same length (chapter, subtitle audio count).

-> Does anyone know if mplayer can tell me which mpls belongs to which title?
