Hi,

For DVD this is possible and results in a playing dvd:
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/filename.iso

But if this is done for blu-ray then it's throwing errors. The command i do
is:
mplayer br:// -bluray-device /path/to/filename.iso

And the errors i get:
--------------------------------
Playing br://.
get_path('sub/') -> '/home/mark/.mplayer/sub/'
libbluray/bdnav/index_parse.c:157: indx_parse(): error opening
filename.iso/BDMV/index.bdmv
libbluray/bluray.c:1448: nav_get_title_list(filename.iso) failed (0x1b82120)
Can't find any Blu-ray-compatible title here.
No stream found to handle url br://

vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized..

Exiting... (End of file)
--------------------------------

My request is to please make this consistent and let it work for both dvd
and blu-ray.
Also the name "-dvd-device" or "-bluray-device" doesn't really sound like a
name that allows ISO files.. so perhaps it's wise to make a generic iso
argument for both dvd and blu-ray for example this:

mplayer br:// -iso-file /path/to/filename.iso
mplayer dvd://1 -iso-file /path/to/filename.iso

That is making more sense then "-dvd-device". The -dvd-device would then
only be used for paths to devices or paths to "extracted iso files".

Just my opinion.
What do you guys think of it?

Regards,
Mark
