After playing with MakeMKV and VLC for awhile, I put together a little script that glues the two together allowing very easy playback of Blu-ray movies. It's free, I did it for myself, and I thought I'd share it. http://www.jaegertech.net/software/cros ... y-playback

Tell your friends!

didnt seem to work for me...
followed your instructions, your programs just hangs.
i tries loading the bluray from my external usb bluray player, but no love

cheers though

disc parameter in the script is disc:0
I suppose it should be disc:1 for an external drive

Give that a try and let me know. I only have one optical drive to test with.

I've also found a few discs that error out when using OS Access Mode. When i switch to Direct Access it works on those discs.

changed settings to =1 which did make it try loading external drive straight up, then makes noises for a while whilst the program bounces up and down on the dock then eventually stops everything....
also trie opening the disc in MakeMkv using Direct Disc Mode then try program but your program then makes MakeMkv quit unexpected (error)
any other options?
am i meant to have any programs opened at the time of using your program?

thanks

heres a console reading of events...

wow,
not really sure wat i did but now it works...

i only changed a few other settings in playBluRay.sh
one being cache=256 (was 128)
other being [ ${COUNT} == 120 (was 60)

maybe had nothing to do with that, but according to new console report MakeMkv started using Direct Access Mode.
