Title: Blu Ray and Iso playback problems
Post by: Primare Knob on December 15, 2014, 03:18:43 am
Ok let me start with an easy yes or no question. Can JRiver MC19 internally playback encrypted Blu Ray discs? (with or without the help of external programs)

I can Google so I know about the Wiki page and other related articles, but I cannot get MC19 to playback Blu Ray files.
I have tried Any DVD, I am now trying Total Media Theater 6. I am able to rip the Blu Ray folder structure using JRiver without an error, and the rip gets imported into my Movie Library.

But I cannot get MC19 to playback the Disc or the folder. The tracks starts with displaying the cover art and the bitrate and movie length but after that nothing happens. I tried by direct clicking both the index.bmdv and MovieObject.bdmv files and the same thing happens, the tracks starts with displaying the cover art and the bitrate and movie length but after that nothing happens. Al Blu Ray related files are associated with MC19 inside Windows.

When I try playing back the disc I get this error: Please instal a Blu Ray reader ....... Popular choices etc etc (hr=0x800040005)

The problem I have with ISO rips are that MC19 want's to open the default associated program, which is no good. If I change that in Windows and associate MC19 with ISO files, MC19 get's caught up in what looks like an infinite loop in opening the file. The ISO files are being imported into my Library

Yes - MC will work with AnyDVD but for BluRay you'd need AnyDVD HD.

Out of the box, MC doesn't decrypt as set out on the Wiki, here:
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Blu-ray (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Blu-ray)

Regarding .iso files, did you check what the Wiki has to say?
http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/ISO_Files (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/ISO_Files)

Give that a go and see where you get to.

I found out what the problem was with the Blu Ray. I am using a trial version of Any DVD HD and it doesn't auto start without some confirming that you are using a trial version. Blu Ray is working now but I thought that JRiver would build a Menu to replace the Java menu.

I have got the ISO working as well. I read over the part that you have to install a third party app for this. I thought it was an build in feature inside JRiver. The only problem that I am having at the moment is that it won't rip any DVD (BD?) if you select to remove any annoying and small clips in the Any DVD settings. Also the subtitle and audio title definition is very rough, English (United States) for all off them without the definition for 5.1, 2 channel, or audio commentary if you get my grip.
