Playing Blu Ray backups?

Hi,

I mainly use my Vero for playing backups of the DVD’s and Blu Rays that I own. That way, I can store my original disks in the garage (no room in the lounge) safely away from small children’s damaging fingers! My Synology NAS serves the files smoothly to the Vero over wired Ethernet. And it’s quick and easy to browse my movie collecion in OSMC and pick one to watch.

Mostly I rip using MakeMKV on the Mac. It works really well for DVD (mostly very easy) but on recent Blu Rays it is problematic. For example, the Blu Ray disc of “La La Land” (UK retail release) contains 20 or 25 apparently identical titles of the same size (over 30 GB). I think it’s deliberate to confuse you! There’s no way to know if you rip the correct title corresponding to what a normal Bluray player would play.

In MakeMKV, rather than ripping selected titles, you can save a decrypted backup of the whole disc which apparently some players can play directly. I tried that but OSMC on Vero doesn’t seem to understand it, and neither does VLC on Mac for that matter. I’m really puzzled!

Any hints on how to back up Blu Ray discs (or for that matter DVD disks) in a way that OSMC can play?

Disk space is not a concern. I paid for all my DVD’s and Blu Ray discs so I don’t mind spending some NAS disk space on them to maintain optimum video quality.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Martin, please follow these instructions and provide full debug logs and a mediainfo report of the bluray you are trying to play.

Thanks.

I guess I didn’t explain myself very well…

I have no problem with OSMC. The issue is that I don’t know how to decrypt and save Blu Ray discs into a format that OSMC will understand. Basically I don’t know what I’m doing!

Using MakeMKV, the file structure I get from making a decrypted backup of “La La Land” is as per this directory listing pasted below.

  • Is that a folder structure that OSMC should be able to play?

  • If so - which file or subfolder should I open in OSMC? (I use the file browser to pick files from my SMB share.)

  • Or is there another way to create a decrypted image of my Blu Ray discs (maybe some sort of ISO) that I should try? I’m wondering if MakeMKV isn’t the best tool for the job… Or if I’m just not using it correctly.

Thanks again

Martin

OSMC uses libbluray which is capable of playing both bluray isos, mkvs and of course decrypted backups.

The folder structure you have there seems correct.

The fact that OSMC does not play the bluray when you open the main bdmv folder (where the index.bdmv file is), might simply mean that libbluray doesn’t understand the bluray structure (which is read from the parsed bdmv index) of these newer blurays.

I stumbled upon one of these myself, and when I went to see the debug logs, i saw libbluray reporting an unexpected signature in the index.bdmv file:

index.bdmv failed signature match: expected INDX0100 got INDX0300

That’s why I would like you to provide logs.

Yes – there are new Blu-ray discs with a new format.

We’re watching for updates to libbluray and when they are available we will include it in OSMC.

Thanks for the replies guys…

I just tried opening the BDMV folder, then scrolling down to index.bdmv and clicking OK… And it works, after a fashion… But it’s confusing. Probably deliberately on the part of the disk creator…

The GUI appeared to hang for a minute or two (animated graphic sort of egg timer I guess). Then it showed me a bewlideringly long list of “Play Main title6” up to “Play Main title 255” (etc) all apparently the same duration.

If I click one, it plays nice and smoothly. But of course I don’t know which title to choose. I don’t know if it’s playing the whole film, or just some random scenes.

There is also a file called MovieObject.bdmv but again that takes a long time for OSMC to parse, then again it gives a long list of titles to play - presumably one of those is the real one, and the others are subtly different to annoy the paying viewer!

VLC on the Mac doesn’t know what to make of the BDMV folder even if I pick index.bdmv. It plays some random sections fairly badly. Probably the first thing I’ve ever found that VLC on Mac won’t play! So not an OSMC issue.

Guess I could try creating an ISO image with Aurora and see if that goes any better - Aurora Free Mac Blu-ray Copy - Copy, Backup Blu-ray to ISO and Burn ISO to Disc - but I don’t understand if ISO is just another wrapper for the same underlying confusing format.

Tomorrow I’ll try playing this disc in my 4-year-old Sony blu ray player. I’m wondering if it won’t be able to play it unless I let it connect to the Internet and update itself - who knows?

Have a good evening - and thanks for the pointers!

I, too, noticed this scheme of obfuscation on recent Blu Rays. But as far as I can observe, MakeMKV still works. You just have to be stubborn and select the first of many tracks with full movie length. Up to now this always resultet in a ripped video file containing the whole movie – although missing the menu and all the bonus tracks.

Yeah, directly playing m2ts files works, but as you said you will have to blindily search for it (and other bonus content as well) which might be frustrating in the end. Let’s hope libbluray will be updated soon.
