Native Blu-ray support (2 Viewers)

I don't think so. If I remember correctly the milestone was MP 1.3.0, but it all depends on the testing. User have been testing various BD films and reporting it, but time will tell. But many are waiting for this, very exciting thing.

Is there a shedule when the plugin will become beta or final?

There is no separate plugin (all changes are done to MediaPortal itself - the required changes are too deep to be handled in a plugin only).

When it it will ready? Depends on many things like:

1) how much devs have free time
2) how the testing goes
3) how much test results we are getting

...there is no point in adding half baked support for BDs - it would look only bad from the user perspective. Unfortunately it is impossible to give any release targets. It will be added to closes MP release after the BD compatibility level is good enough.

Thanks for good amount of test results. If possible please upload samples for these BDs that are causing trouble.

Seems like the BD of Tiesto in PDVD11 also starts with the concert right away (instead of the Menu), so let's forget that 1.
I'll try to upload samples of the rest, but i can't seem to upload with my normal client (FTPRush).

** EDIT **

FileZilla seems to work, uploading samples.

Question/Suggestion: Would it be possible to check the number of files in the STREAM or PLAYLIST folder, and if only 1 exists, start in Title Mode directly? (Since all my movies are BDRemuxes)

** EDIT 2 **

B.B. King Live (2011) -> MENU working & added to Wiki
Britney Spears Live: The Femme Fatale Tour (2011) -> MENU working & added to Wiki

Thread moved to "Area 51 - Testing Area" sub forum. Hopefully we will see more keen people poking around and exposing the bugs

Thanks - started to download those.

I'm not 100% sure if it is safe. There could probably be some BD-J (or even HDMV?) based disks that have only one title .m2ts file that is providing menu and use seeking inside the file to play some user selectable content - who knows what the "creative" people do when mastering / authoring the disks... there is already few disks where the imagination hos gone thru the sky line.

For example:

Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring BD has menu background that is over minute long, contains only single video frame which is muxed at the end of the clip (so whole clip needs to be read to be able to start the clip). There is no benefit from such authoring, it just causes slow startup on ALL BD players. I bet it is a broken authoring tool...

Andrea Bocelli Vivere BD has a clip that's duration is around 8 seconds, but there is empty audio for around three minutes...

Alchemy Live (1984) -> Menu visible, but navigation pointer not showing

Reproduced - probably a libbluray issue.

Andrea Bocelli - Concerto One Night in Central Park (2011) -> Menu OK, Popup Menu error: BDPlayer: CurrentSubtitleStream failed - TODO: add stream cache on .ax side

That error can be ignored for now. Need to check if it is valid issue anymore. Manfred, what do you think?

Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour (2010) -> Menu visible, but navigation pointer disappears (Popup Menu works 50%, doesn't always close after song selection)

Missing focus is probably libbluray issue.

Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad Live (2008) -> Menu showing, but song selection freezes MP

Starting concert works ok with the development version. To be re-tested with new version since the BD sample probably has missing data:

17-12-2011 15:39:33.224 [ 16f0]Read failed...EOF

No hang is happening when selecting a song, just exit to my videos as there is no data to be read.

The Tribute to Pavarotti (2009) -> Menu shows for 1 second, then jumpst back to MP menu

Runs here with the development version for quite long (30 seconds maybe) and then it sees a read error from the libbluray side

17-12-2011 15:24:27.400 [ bf8]Read failed...EOF

might be a cut .m2ts file that causes it. To be re-tested by HomeY with the next public test build.

Within Temptation & The Metropole Orchestra - Black Symphony (2008) -> Menu OK (Popup Menu doesn't close after selecting a song)

Not reproduced with the development version - To be re-tested by HomeY with the next public test build.
