View Full Version : [WINDOWS] Blu-ray playback support in XBMC for Windows? Menus and AACS/BD+ decryption
Will ever XBMC for Win will playback Blu Ray and hd-dvd discs?

well its not even supported in linux period so its unlikely.
Could it work technically??
Or are there that block implementation of Blue-Ray playback.

AS XBMC is a cross-platform software all the same things apply.

"The AACS 'Digital Rights Management' system in most HD-DVD and all Blu-Ray discs attempts to stop consumers from exercising fair use rights, including:
* Playing purchased Blu-Ray and HD DVD films using Open Source software."
OMG!
But this sh*t isn't the same for DVDs... why blu rays and hd-dvd are so "legally unplayable" by free soft?
