Is there any way to identify which MPLS file MC is using when playing a BluRay disc from the BD Menu?

If you're in regular playback mode, the names of the MPLS files are all there on the rightclick menu.  But if you need to use the BD menu to select the "correct" MPLS playlist, there doesn't seem to be any info in the menu about what MPLS file was actually selected once playback begins.

Is there any way to show this info?  It would be super helpful.

Hendrick mentioned once adding a BD Playback Status display so there would be no confusion about which MPLS was playing, but I don't see it and I found no mention in the release notes of it being added.

(Using MakeMKV as the decrypter.)

Thanks!

right click> switch to title play back
shows mpls files. Not sure if you mean that

I mentioned in my post that in regular (title) playback mode you see the list.  That doesn't work, because switching to title playback restarts playback with a different playlist.

The point is to id the playlist selected through the BD Menu.

I didn't know what "regular" was. sorry

If I'm understanding the OP this would make naming ripped TV shows much easier right?

I think so.  It would also make it much easier to deal with movies that have playlist obfuscation.  Some movies have dozens of garbage playlists (of equal length) on the disc and you can only identify the correct one by navigating through the BlurayDisc menu to play the movie.  MC lets you navigate the menus to play the movie, but then it seems it won't tell you which MPLS playlist it ended up using.

I'm usually not the first person ripping a disc so for obfuscation I do a search and usually find the answer without too much effort.

But I agree this would be an awesome feature.

I'm guessing then no one thinks you can get this info out of the program currently. 

It should be really easy to add.  The currently running MPLS playlist is known.  It could just be displayed at the top of one of the existing right-click menus, like "Streams" or "Jump To".
MC obviously displays a list of MPLS playlists already on the Titles menu, but not if you're in BluRay Menu mode.

It would certainly be helpful.

agreed.  i recall we had requested this in the past. could be libbluray does not expose that?

maybe turn on logging and see if it is logged there when starting playback from a menu.
