KODI does not play Blu-ray

Post by favancini »

Hello,

I use Kodi 17.4 in Linux Station (Ubuntu 16.04)

I have mounted a USB Blu-ray player and the OS sees it.
Kodi sees it also but when I clic on the button "Play disc", nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

probably a copy protected disk (commercial)

doubt that kodi and qnap meets the requitments to play back (hdcp,etc.)

Hello,

It is not a copy protected disk problem.

I have already succeed in playing copy protected blu-ray in Kodi in Linux Station but I had to reinstall and now it does not work.

Meenwhile, Qnap has added the possibility to mount a USB optical drive in Linux Station.
Before that, I had to mount the drive manually.

EDIT: It works if I unmount the drive in QTS and I mount it manually in Kody

google says playing bluray via kodi is not that easy .. due to copy protection .. using other software players as intermediates (external player) seems to be possible
