Having problem when trying to scan in bluray movies into video database from my hard drive. When it scans it scans every file within the bluray movie folder and tries to find a match on movie database so it can give it a name, genre, thumbnail, etc. Problem is a bluray movie that has been ripped to my harddrive has many many many files in it, unlike a regular dvd file just has the VIDEO_TS file. How do I tell the database scanner to not scan all those files? But maybe just one of them? Just like it does for DVD's. Or is there a system in place already for this that I'm missing. Thanks. (using v 1.2.1)

    Try adding 'index.bdmv' to the extensionlist.

    The upcoming 1.3Alpha release will have native Blu-ray support.

    Ok, thanks.
    I tried your idea but didn't work. It still wants to find and link every .m2ts file within the bluray folder to an IMDB profile. I just want it to find, link, and use the index.bdvm file which will then launch my external video player of zoomplayer to watch the movie. I try to force it to use the index.bdvm by going into the database editor and deleting/adding file to play and set it to the index.bdvm, but then a warning comes up saying this file is not compatible with windows media player and won't play, which is weird as I have my video player set to use external video player "zoomplayer" not windows media player.

    Do you know when the 1.3 alpha release will be out? Thanks
