NOTE!

This is not an official VLC release.

VLC does not yet support blu-ray menus so you must manually select title to play.

Not all Blu-ray movies are supported.

*NB You need to have VLC 2.0 installed, this is just an addon!!!

wow... I was googling how to view BlueRay movies downloaded from the net on LINUX and there was really no good solution... Then I move "down" to googling "Blueray puppy linux" and 1 minute later i view my first Blueray movie:-)

Just great work chrome... just great..

This made my day:-)

In the title this is said to work with VLC 2.0.

Mine is VLC 1.1.10 and it still works. Oki... not always, but like 50%, and that is like a lot better than not being able to look at ANY blueray movie.

I could not find any VLC 2.0 for puppy, but if there is any link to a .pet with VLC 2.0, maybe i can also watch some of those 50% that did not work under 1.1.10?

It might be helpful to say which build of Puppy you are using, but hey try this:

Hopefully you will find something there

I found the VLC2.0, installed it and after installing Qt4, it worked, but there was no improvement on ability to play more videos.

Yet I am happy to be able to play some, and it worked fine with VLC1.1.10 anyway under Lucid 5.2.8
