BluRay support in Mediaportal

... too bad, that there'll be no native BluRay support in Mediaportal. Wouldn't it at least be possible to integrate p.e. PowerDVD functionality without all that manual config, maybe as an option during deployment? Or even, are there maybe BluRay Players that can be programmatically integrated in an open source app? Just dreaming ...

By the way, I tried the PowerDVD workaround - it didn't work out for me smoothly on a second display (projector). Any comments/hints concerning this setting would be desperately appreciated

uiiiihh thats bad - couse i wanna have that blueray also working for me with my projector (720p)
AND my 6.3" front-display in my HTPC-enclosure (Dual-view)

is that a HDCP / HDMI problem ?
couse i am using "only" VGA for the 720p ...

or are there also no sources for playing a BlueRay with less than FullHD - over VGA with no HDCP?

i am a newbee with all that HD-stuff in "what, needs what" to make it run under MePo ...

i am more a hardware-smith then a software developer

I've got the same problem - I'm cloning my HTPCs output to both video-ports of my graphics card to be able to use MP on TV and on a projector. But as far as I found out, the Blu-Ray specification only allows to be shown on 1 device at a time - regardless if digital or analog.
But as the BD encryption has now been "hacked" by a DOOM9 member, I'm looking forward to see native BD support in MP.

well i don't think that a "hack" will make native BR support in MePo come true
