I know that Media Portal doesn't play BD without external player. But I installed Arcsoft TMT plugin and I can play Bluray only from BD-Rom (but ia have nor BR-rom) or from Virtual Rom (using Daemon Tools, Alcohol etc.). How to play BD from my HDD with Media Portal using TotalMedia Theatre like external software BD-player.
P.S. My English is bad, :sorry: I am russian.

You don't need arcsoft player if you want to play the files directly. TMT plugin is only required to play BR discs or images and get full support for menus etc.

If the disc is not copyprotected, you can copy the content to a HD-folder an play streams via internal MP player. If you're talking about playing from disk directly, this ahould also work. If I remember right, you need an additional driver for a bluray drive to make its content available as filesystem ...

I have many folders with bluray without ANY protection in my HDD (I haven't blu-ray drive and so sorry...). I shared its in MP's settings, but MP doesn't wont to see its! In russian MP's forum said that MP couldn't playback BD from HDD. I won't belive!

... you have to add the extension (.m2ts) to the supported video files in the configuration. THen you should be able to play it with internal MP player (if you have apropriate splitter/codecs installed).
