[mythtv-users] Blu-Ray and regular DVDs

[Ryan Allen]

Hey guys,

    I just bought a blu-ray player for my myth front end.  I also just
    installed mythbuntu 9.04, and have everything working except the
    blu-ray player.

    My first problem is trying to play a regular DVD on the Blu-Ray
    player, I get these errors in the log:

    May 11 01:48:17 myth kernel: [ 4213.344587] end_request: I/O error,

    I used the same player to install the distro, so I know it works.
    Also that DVD plays just fine in a regular DVD player.

    The kernel reports this on boot up:
    May 10 19:45:53 myth kernel: [    3.550596] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive:

    May 10 19:45:53 myth kernel: [    3.550685] sr 0:0:0:0: Attached
    scsi CD-ROM sr0


    and lshw reports this:


    *-cdrom

    Any clues?


    For Blu-Ray playback I understand that for now, I need to rip the
    blu-ray onto a hard drive first, per this doccument:

    http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Blu-ray
    and this:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD

    I haven't tried this yet, but will soon.  What are other's
    experiences with using Blu-Ray under Myth?

    Thanks!

    -Ryan
