[QUOTE="glenb83, post: 1063726, member: 91087"] Hey everyone, I'm currently running a Gigabyte Brix as my HTPC with MP happily, and the only thing it's missing is a bluray player for the VERY occasional time we want to play a bluray disc. I have another PC which is on basically 24x7 and has a bluray drive installed, currently we have it hooked up to the TV with a different HDMI cable but I'm wondering if there is a way I can utilise the Bluray drive in that machine on my HTPC MP setup instead of buying a USB bluray drive? So far I have tried sharing the drive on the PC, then configuring a source in MP videos to the drive path on the network. When I try to access it in MP I see the drive spin up on the PC and MP hangs for about 30 seconds or so then gives an error "unable to play: Index". Perhaps I just need to configure it a different way? Was wondering if there was a way I could set it up similar to a 'virtual' drive? Any other ideas how I might be able to play bluray discs through mediaportal on my htpc or is it a lost cause?! [/QUOTE]
