RE: Re: blu-ray rips

Aha.. useful to know... my main media player was, until recently, a W7
Ultimate PC also with My Movies, but I got sick of constantly having to
"nurse" it every time I wanted to watch a movie, so I junked it
and switched
to a QNAP NAS to host everything, and a jailbroken Apple TV as the front
end... both of which are rock solid in terms of reliability (apart from the
occasional XBMC crash on the ATV, but the native Apple part of it is
100%)...

None of which helps me in this quest... :-(

On my media server (Windows 7 Media Center) I had much the same problem,
but
eventually found that Cyberlink PowerDVD (Above version 9 I think it was)
plays blueray rips. You just point it at the folder and it will play it.

I actually ended up using "My Movies" for Media Center and in
it's config
you can tell it to automatically use PowerDVD.

Cheers
