OMGUBUNTU.CO.UK also has a very simple script to get it setup with VLC also which is at the below link.

FYI - the script on omgubuntu.co.uk requires MakeMKV to decode the Blu-Ray disks. MakeMKV is not free.

makemkv is what i use on linux to rip and then play blu-ray discs. It works very well, and it's free at the moment. Makemkv will convert any dvd or blu-ray disc to an mkv file. DVDs rip into files of around 5GB, while bluray disks will give you huge files of 30-40GB. From there, i use handbrake to compress the video (including several audio/subtitle tracks) for viewing on tv/ipad/laptop.
Installation instructions are here: http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

lxBDPlayer player works fine for unencrypted Bluray discs.
They have a .deb installer on their homepage and on sourceforge.
I even mounted an untouched BluRay ISO and opened it with this player.
The player only has some very basic features like start, stop, pause, skip and chapter selection, but it is easy to install and easy to use.

@VBwhatnow there's nothing wrong with adding a new answer to an old question. Especially when it's a comprehensive and detailed answer. Quite the contrary, answering old questions is great, whether they have an accepted answer or not. And when the accepted answer is a link only, and not a real answer at all, new answers are even more welcome. Even if they suggest trial software.

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

It is actually possible if you use the media center application called xbmc which can be found here.
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa
After you have installed the package their is a plugin for xbmc to read bluray disks. The instructions are here.
http://bloggingabout.com/bluray-playback-xbmc-plugin.html
OMGUBUNTU.CO.UK also has a very simple script to get it setup with VLC also which is at the below link.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/easy-blu-ray-movie-playback-in-linux/
FYI - the script on omgubuntu.co.uk requires MakeMKV to decode the Blu-Ray disks. MakeMKV is not free.

Blu ray discs are currently unsupported on Linux. There are ways to play them but they require using methods of circumventing DRM and isnt exactly user friendly in the first place.

lxBDPlayer player works fine for unencrypted Bluray discs.
They have a .deb installer on their homepage and on sourceforge.
I even mounted an untouched BluRay ISO and opened it with this player.
The player only has some very basic features like start, stop, pause, skip and chapter selection, but it is easy to install and easy to use.

Huh? No none of the answers worked. If they worked that's fine. But they are out of date. Do you get personally offended when someone down votes your outdated answers so you like to accuse them when they post one that works? Just curious

No I just think its funny that you're even bothering to answer a 6 year old question with an accepted answer. But hey, do whatever makes you happy buddy :^)

You have to because if you start a new one then they mark it as a duplicate. It's how Stack Exchange works. Did you downvote me out of spite?

@VBwhatnow there's nothing wrong with adding a new answer to an old question. Especially when it's a comprehensive and detailed answer. Quite the contrary, answering old questions is great, whether they have an accepted answer or not. And when the accepted answer is a link only, and not a real answer at all, new answers are even more welcome. Even if they suggest trial software.
