Yeah I got that, but my objective was to be able to watch blurays on my Kodi box not rip them on my pc and then watch them on my Kodi box.
Plus I’m not really interested in ripping my blurays just playing them. Although I get why someone might think otherwise as it is called makemkv.
I’m aware that I could easily install the makemkv beta in windows and use it to rip my blurays.
But I wanted to know could the makemkv libmmbd library be used to play bluray on osmc.
And it can’t because makemkv-bin won’t build on an armhf system.
For all the information I could find I had to spend several hours building stuff before that became apparent.
I couldn’t even see anything online which would confirm if it worked for Kodi for linux before I made a Reddit post about this and someone kindly commented back that they have just done it on lubuntu and Kodi 18.5
So I just wanted to make sure the information was available for other people to find before they would maybe attempt it themselves.
So until the osmc bdplus issues are resolved or makemkv release an arm version, it looks like only blurays without bd+ encryption can be played on osmc.
Which is fine, I do have a bluray player I’d just like to be able to play everything on osmc, because why not?
(Also the steps for compiling ffmpeg might be useful to some folk, I couldn’t get it to work myself initially and the information I was able to find isn’t as clear as the step by step commands I have provided, which do work although I’m not sure “–arch=armel” is 100% correct, maybe “–arch=armhf” for Vero?)
