Hey all,
This may seem an odd thing to post in a sat forum but I wondered if anyone knows if its possible to play blu-rays via a satbox running Vix? I already have my media server running through my xpeed lx2 via the DLNA plugin but didn't know if there was a DVD/Blu-ray plugin like VLC media player which can playback disc's.
The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of getting a blu-ray player but though if I can get a USB external drive so I can use it on my laptop as well as using it via my Xpeed LX2. I figured the Xpeed couldn't power the blu-ray but the external ones come with their own power supply and I have a powered USB hub for the connection to the box which my external HDD is currently attached too, plus the external ones are easier to make region free on DVD and Blu-ray allowing me to play imports, stand alone blu-ray players that are multi-region are expensive.
Anyway just thought I would ask, see if anyone knew before I purchased.
Cheers
