Besides that, I don't see a specific way to turn things on and off, so you might try installing that package and seeing if it works, and if not the best bet might be to just follow the ArchWiki article linked by Nayr438īy the way, how exactly do you select it? Going to Media -> Open Disc -> Blu-ray, with /dev/sr0 selected and hitting Play works for me. I can see it working in VLC by going to Tools -> Preferences -> Show All Settings -> Input/Codecs -> Access modules - Blu-ray (it says 'libbluray' at the top). It turns out that my distro (Mint) ships with a package called libbluray (or libbluray2) by default. On my Linux, Blu-Rays actually play straight away. I only ever did that on Windows, and there it basically did the configuration by itself. What do I do in VLC so it will play then? I tried enabled the setting you showed in makemkv, and then I went into vlc and selected my blu ray disc and it wouldn't play.

My recommendation would be to invest in cheap hardware to setup a Jellyfin or Plex instance to store your media on. MakeMKV with Handbrake is our best solution for this. Your best option however is to just dump the Movie off the disc, which still often requires manual intervention. If you want the limited functionality Linux has to offer you can check out this Arch Wiiki Entry and adapt it to your Distro, Linux doesn't have a good open-source solution because it just means that companies would introduce a new protection and it would be a never ending battle, so the result is that development is slow and laggs behind.īecause of the limited support and the grey area that surrounds BluRay, most distros don't ship BluRay Support out of the box. A lot of this software gets away with it because it's proprietary and attempts to block users from dumping the data, which also means protecting the software against virtualization or translation layers such as WINE. The same is mostly true for Windows actually, the only main difference is that more effort has been placed on reverse engineering these protections in proprietary Third Party Windows software.

The BlueRay Format is supported in Linux, the protections that companies place on there BluRay Discs is however mostly unsupported. Does anyone know a way as to how to get blu rays to play with menu availability.
