Playing BD without navigation

[daytooner]

IMO, if the player can’t handle the navigation, then kodi/osmc should show me a list of the title files (*.m2ts) from which I can select to play. Or perhaps, simply play the largest file. But at the very least, a popup should say that the title can’t be played.

So there it is. I don’t know if this is an osmc problem or a kodi problem. Maybe both? In any case (without the ugly hack) I can’t play this BD (as well as several others).

I just tried running kodi on my phone (Samsung S8 android). It was running v19 Matrix. This actually implented BD menus somewhat as I described above. So, if this is fixed by v19, when will osmc get upgraded to that version?

Also note that on my android phone, kodi could play most x265 files that osmc Vero 4K+ can’t handle (see this problem I had posted about earlier: Issue with Vero4k and raw 4K MTS files? - #59 by daytooner).This is with very few buffer refills, and with no stuttering. And this is over wifi to the same nfs server as with osmc. Note that I can’t run any x265 videos over wifi (from the vero). And even with hard-wired connected by gigabit ethernet, some of these still won’t play.

Of course, this does very little for me, since I really want to watch these 4K videos on my (very expensive) 4K UHD tv.

This is just some information I hope will help.
