external blu ray drive

Why would you wanna add a blue ray drive to yer vu?

The thing is you need people who can work with and adapt hardware drivers for these devices but those kinds of people are hard to come by in our hobby. we did have a guy in ViX going back to the old 1x series images who worked with the drivers for us but he did a runner when we moved over to the pli source.

I wouldn't hold your breath - Blu Ray support is barely existent in linux, due to the way the copy protect decryption works. The methods have only recentlty got to the stage where it is possible, but not to the point where you can pop in a disc and it plays. Until recenlty we always had to rip the full disc, and even still, playback would be dependent on having the keys. I didn't bother with this when I had my HTPC, and opted for Windows due to the lack of Blu Ray support in linux. I am sure it will happen eventually, but that is just linux. the Vu+ is another thing. One thing the Vu+ Duo (only know this through having one) does have is External SATA support, so in theory should be able to have Blu Ray drive support dependent on working drivers, but I think we are still possibly years away from an actual Blu Ray film straight from the shop being able to play on the Vu+ This being the case I don't think that the developers would even bother getting at least the drive working, because there isn't any point until it will play the movies!
