Easy Blu-ray movie playback!

[sduensin]

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!

Thank you! You have no idea how much I appreciate that.

Very nice, it's a start!

I don't have the time right now but it would be great to tweak the script to play the longest stream - the first track isn't always the main movie...

Thanks, and good point! I'll put that on the list of things to add/change for the next release.

Or simply start the streaming server from the MakeMKV gui and point your web browser to http://localhost:51000/web/titles and browse to the available titles. You can then open your preference in mplayer, totem, vlc, and so on.

For Debian (and presumably other distros) simply install mozilla-mplayer or totem-mozilla and the stream will start in your media player. This works with both Firefox/Iceweasel and Chrome/Chromium.

Setting the minimum length option on makemkv to something like 1hr 20mins (--minlength=4800) seems reliable for making title 0 the main feature.

Also if you wanted to use mplayer (seeking doesn't work though) instead of VLC the command would be

Code: Select all

mplayer -fs -demuxer lavf -alang en -slang en -forcedsubsonly -cache 8192 http://localhost:51000/stream/title0.ts

For vdpau users you may use something like this

Code: Select all

mplayer -fs -demuxer lavf -vo vdpau:hqscaling=1 -vc ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau, -vfm ffmpeg, -ao pulse -ac fftruehd,ffdca,ffeac3,ffac3,fflpcm, -afm ffmpeg, -alang en -slang en -forcedsubsonly -channels 6 -cache 8192 http://localhost:51000/stream/title0.ts
