    Blu-ray what do I need?

    Running 11.04(32 bit) on a HP Pavillion slimline S5780uk.
    What do I need to install to view a blu-ray disc??
    Tried movie player and VLC.
    I have this feeling I am going to feel very stupid when someone points out the obvious.
    Thanks in advance

    You can try and rip the video from the disc and watch it that way. At the moment Blu-ray is not supported by Linux with a simple insert and play function.

    I've posted a new thread outlining the poor quality of lxbdplayer, which seems to be the only linux based Bluray player available. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...9#post11144799

    If anyone is interested in this please help out
