Playing Blurays discs in Sage
I have my Bluray movies backed up on to other blurays discs with the protection removed using dvdfab.
Now I want to play them in sage. I know I can use Anydvd to do this, but I rather not pay for anydvd since I don't need to remove the copy protection since I already did with dvdfab. What other method can I play discs without using Anydvd? thanks

Procedure: - Insert a BR into you SageTV server BR drive. - Make the BR drive letter shareable. - Rename the drive to "0ptical Drive" (note the first letter is zero to always keep you BR icon at the top of the list). - Add the BR drive as import directory in SageTV as normal. - Perform a "Scan Imported Media" so that the BR disk will have an ID in the biz file. - Done. Now every time you want to watch a not encrypted BR, just insert the disk and select the first icon on the list and press play. Eddy

When you create the share you give the name "0ptical Drive" if you want

Would this method work if you haven't removed the copy protection and own AnyDVDHD?

- Your OS must be able to support at least UDF 2.5 file system, which every BR uses, in order to open the BR disk and browse the disk directory freely (AnyDVDHD has UDF 2.5 support, but it is internal and only used when you save to ISO or when copy the BR into you HDD). If you have Windows XP or WHS, for instance, the UDF 2.5 support is provided by third party drivers (I have it if you want it), but starting from Win7 the support is out of the box, therefore you should be able to browse any BR from the file manager, but you need AnyDVDHD (or similar) installed in order to decrypt the content on the fly directly from your BR drive. - Unless you leave your SageTV server permanently logged on (and I don't), you need to run AnyDVD via scheduled tasks otherwise by the time you log off the AnyDVD software get closed by Windows. Hope it helps Eddy
