    I was read one of the new features if 1.0.1 is that autoplay was extended to bluray. I purchased a bluray ROM in hopes to play some bluray titles. However when i insert a disc nothing happens, and when i go to my videos i see the disc in the drive but still unable to get it to play. I am using pdvd8 HW decoder, and i have powerdvd COMPLETELY DISABLED FOR AUTOPLAY. I am on vista64 with mediaportal 1.0.1. bluray plays fine in pdvd with hw decoding enabled.

    what am i missing?

    MediaPortal does not natively plays bluray. That enhancement is merely for MP to send an autoplay notification for 3rd party plugins to use.

    I think there are 2 bluray plugins discussed in the forums if you want to search and try them.

    Currently MediaPortal doesn't provide a way for plugins to be able to detect if HD DVD or Blu-Ray disk was inserted.

    AutoPlay.cs should send a global message that tells when Blu-ray / HD DVD disk is inserted. Then its possible to write 3rd party plugins that can react to the disk insertion.

    Will MP ever nativley play bluray? Is it a licensing issue or something? I noticed XBMC doesnt do it either. Honestly this is the only feature missing from an otherwise perfect product =\.

    oh well, guess i will fiddle with that plug-in and hope its compatable with 1.0.1

    Thanks for the support guys.
