Bluray support

[R1Dave]

I'm thinking of adding a bluray player to my PC but wanted to know a couple of things :

1. Will NPVR support playing blurays via the DVD menu option?
2. Can i rip Blurays and play them back though NPVR?
3. Assuming it will all work, can i easily get a decoder?

1. Yes.
   
2. Yes. I rip mine to folders and they will show up as [MovieName].bluray similar to how DVDs show up as [MovieName].dvd
   
3. Download LAV filters: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191 . The splitter is needed for playing the movie and the audio decoder will bitstream/decode all formats.
   

The only caveat is that you do not get menus. It will automatically play the longest playlist which is usually the main movie. There is only one disc that I've had an issue with using this method and that is Watchmen (it plays a directors commentary version instead of just the movie).
