Developers / Update on Blu-Ray playback on Ubuntu

« on: April 18, 2009, 11:46:13 am »

I just came across this article:
Restricted Formats

for playing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs on Ubuntu 8.10 and was wondering what peoples thoughts on it was?

I would love to be able to do this and thought it might be possible to write a script that calls the various parts of this decryption in order depending on what was required.

Feature requests & roadmap / DVD Ripping

« on: January 16, 2009, 01:42:40 pm »

Hi,

I've been quietly reading the forums for months now while oh slow slowly saving up to buy some new equipment, however I just have a couple of quick questions;
1) When ripping a DVD does it go off to Gracenote, or similar, to get all the information or does it just create a blank file which needs to be renamed and have meta data added to it?
2) How well does LinuxMCE handle hardware raid cards? I have been looking at building a reasonably large storage system with the core and was looking at using some Adaptec cards and couldn't see anything in the Wiki.

I'm not to bad at programming and would love to help in implementing some of these features if they aren't already done.

Thanks in advance
Rich
