External Blu Ray Player
External Blu Ray Player
Hi there, does any one know if it's possible to plug an external PC Blu Ray drive into the USB or E-SATA port of the T3. Are there any drivers out there to support this?
Re: External Blu Ray Player
I have not tried, but I see no reason why it would not work. Those things are just optical mass storage devices with MMC support and are very likely to just work as such straight out of the box. The eSATA option is likely the better choice.

Re: External Blu Ray Player
There is a blueray plugin, as well as dvdburner and dvdplayer plugins. No idea how well, or even if, they work.
PLUGIN, then Green Download plugins, then navigate to extensions, click OK, and then navigate to the plugin you want to try, and click OK.
LEFT/RIGHT allow you to page through the plugin list.

I bought a USB Blue Ray player and the T3 sees it and I can browse the disc however I can't find a Blue Ray player plugin, does anyone know of one?

Re: External Blu Ray Player
I found one in the Download plugins list. Under extensions, named something obvious like bluerayplayer.headbutt wrote:I bought a USB Blue Ray player and the T3 sees it and I can browse the disc however I can't find a Blue Ray player plugin, does anyone know of one?

It looks like its a Blu Ray database and not a player.prl wrote:I found one in the Download plugins list.

I haven't tried it (don't have any BlueRay gear), but the description is a bit ambiguous, could parse either way.headbutt wrote:It looks like its a Blu Ray database and not a player.prl wrote:I found one in the Download plugins list.

Re: External Blu Ray Player
I just had a play with it and it is an interface to a database of new releases, reviews and price comparisons for Blu-Ray disks (and presumably PS3 games, though I didn't see any). The content has a strong German bias and is written in German.prl wrote:I haven't tried it (don't have any BlueRay gear), but the description is a bit ambiguous, could parse either way.headbutt wrote:It looks like its a Blu Ray database and not a player.prl wrote:...

On reflection, isn't the DRM on Blu-Ray intended to prevent writing software Blu-Ray players?

Re: External Blu Ray Player
That's my understanding too. Can't have people playing legally purchased BDs wherever they want can we?prl wrote:On reflection, isn't the DRM on Blu-Ray intended to prevent writing software Blu-Ray players?
And they wonder why people put the effort into decrypting and ripping........ Stealing from thieves!

Re: External Blu Ray Player
I've read that VLC player supports playing Bluray and there is a plugin for it but I can't work out how it works.
