New Plex Plug-In for MakeMKV
I've just finished up my first release of a plug-in for Plex that allows you to watch Blu-Ray's in OSX without ripping. Consider this a Beta release. Please report any bug or any other feature requests in the comments below.
Instructions:
- Download the latest version of MakeMKV and Install
- Load MakeMKV. Click on the wrench (Preferences). Enable "Log debug message". Close MakeMKV
- Download and Install Plex
- Download and install MakeMKV Plugin (Double click to install)
- Launch the plug-in under the video section and update the MakeMKV location under preferences.
- Launch your DVD / Blu-Ray and select the appropriate stream
Issues:
- There is an issue where MakeMKV might still be running in the background and wont allow you access to your disc. If you load the plugin and it's running you can select stop MakeMKV or stop the process in Activity Monitor located at /Applications/Utilities/
- DVD or Blu-Ray thumb images to the right may be incorrect for some. please let me know if you have this issue.
- Cannot save a remote source yet. This will be available in the next release.

Nice will we be able to use HD-audio as well?

I’m not sure about HD-audio. I It all depends if the audio is in the transport stream coming from MakeMKV and if plex can decode it. The only thing the plug-in does is make it easier to play the disc from with inside plex.

This is awesome, my Blu-Ray drive arrives tomorrow and I will give this some serious testing. Ultimately it will end up on applemediacenter.com which I just started. Good looking out n8o! I’m going to give you a shout out soon!
