Play Bluray in VLC

[Josele13]

Hi Guys, I have Bluray on my computer, I used it once with Windows XP, came with software and drivers for Windows, but I’ve spent years without using Windows,

I install MakeMKV to test, the disc has 46Gb of film, using MakeMKV has 70GB of movie on my desk, it is too.

although I have seen many tutorials, I could never make it work

I would like you to put a complete tutorial to see Bluray in VLC.

many users like me could use to know.

I would like to see full Saga of Star Wars. I love it

regards …

thanks for the report, then I will go step by step, I’ll get it? regards…

Hello wolfman, it seems to continue without running VLC.
I followed the steps, but nothing.

I tried with MakeMKV streaming but will not let me,

Do I have to install extra codecs restricted?

at the end I will have to install Virtualbox with XP.

regards....

[Josele13]

if, as I had done,
Thank you…

[wolfman]

Hi,

install the following via the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) if not already installed:

sudo apt-get install libxine2-all-plugins ubuntu-restricted-extras

[Josele13]

Nothing, don’t play bluray in VLC…

Thank you Wolfman , we tried.

sudo apt-get install smplayer

Hi Jose,

is the disk you are trying to play a copy or is it an original disk (DVD)?.

In you picture above; is states that it cannot read the drive so therefore won’t be able to read any disks!.

Is the DVD drive working with normal media disks?.

[Josele13]

Hello Wolfman, are original disks, they gave me a year ago, The Complete Star Wars Saga. 9 episodes, I have not seen yet on Blu-ray. The LG player, records and plays well on any CD, DVD, Bluray with Cyberlink in XP. With MakeMKV has recorded a movie to the desktop from the disc, but not let me do the work to try to see streaming with VLC. thanks for your attention…

What I am reading from the above is that the file simply cannot be read!, right click the file(s) you are trying to play and display their properties please so we can determine whether or not the files are corrupted!.

is original, MakeMKV works and what makes matroska,

with XP can see the Movies.

VLC and smplayer can not see.

Hi @Josele13,

I'm not sure why it won't play as you say that everything you need is installed so now do the following:

1. Change your software sources download location to a different download server (see update guide* on how to do this if you don't know!).

2. Once you have done the above, run the following terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t):

sudo apt-get remove vlc && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f && sudo apt-get install vlc

3. Try playing you disks again and see if that helps!.
