over an ethernet network?
I don't have any problem with other file types on my network, but bdmv files won't play and I get a message stating so. I have no problem playing them on the server, just the client.
If they can, what's the secret sauce?

You see the message below, correct?
I believe that the secret source is to map a drive on the MC Client that matches the drive name on the MC Server, and then turn on "Options > Media Network > Client Options (when connected to a library server) > Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found".
So if your movie file is: F:\Movies\The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)\BDMV\index.bluray;1
Map drive F: on you MC Client to point to a share you have set up on the MC Server PC to drive F: there.
Or use UNC paths for all files.
Jmone uses this method and has documented this solution on the forum several times, I believe. It's probably in the Wiki somewhere. Example 3, here: https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Home_Networking_Examples
I still haven't gotten around to implementing it myself, because I don't really need to.

Thanks Roderick.
