Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I’ve got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder.
My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast.
Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices?
EDIT
After some looking around Kodi might be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further.
EDIT 2
The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution
Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?
Space isn’t really an issue for me and I already have converted versions of these movies. For a select few all time favorites and discs where the full experience is part of the package (like the Criterion) I want to maintain the full bluray experience with all the special features and menus.
I like full menus and unaltered files without layering in additional compression. Also enjoy the extras which is why I get the BDs. Space is cheap in this day so I don’t care if it takes up more space. Quality and features to me matter more.
Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.
It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.
