Adding DVD/Blu-ray Discs to Kodi
To start playing DVD/Blu-ray discs on Kodi, you need to install Kodi from the PCLinuxOS repository and then launch it from your PCLinuxOS menu (under the Video menu). Once you have started Kodi, navigate to the 'Video' category, where you will find various settings for managing and displaying video content.
Organizing Your DVD/Blu-ray Collection
To organize your DVD/Blu-ray collection in Kodi, create folders with names that contain the movie title, ending with cd#, dvd#, disc# or disk#, without a space before the # symbol. For example, if you have folders named 'The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring DVD1/VIDEO_TS/etc.', you can stack them using this naming convention.
Playing Back Unprotected Media from DVD
Kodi's 'VideoPlayer' (formerly XBMC's 'DVDPlayer') is capable of playing DVD-Video and Blu-ray Disc, as well as most other popular video formats. You can use Kodi to stream unprotected media from a DVD using an internal DVD-ROM drive directly.
