Would it be possible for serviio to stream a video or movie from a dvd or bd?

Not sure why you'd want that. It might be possible if you add the drive as a shared folder but it'll be kind of weird as the drive contents will always change and the library will be constantly changing.

I can see why this is a wierd request. I have had a few people come over with movies (Dvds) and I have to wait till I can ripe them to a Hd before playing. I'm not sure you can mount a drive on serviio as those files are not in a format it can read, I think.

Well, I'd like to know that too.
Reason is that I only have a Bluray player in my computer & I'd like to be able to watch some of my BR movies on the TV too (without using a 10m HDMI cable obviously ^^).
So I thought streaming them on the TV like I do with my video files would be the way to go.
Unfortunatley I don't think it's possible at the moment, might be because my BD is nto DLNA compliant?

I have a similar request, as I have my BD collection ripped to my hd and would like to be able to use this HTPC to stream to all the networked tvs in the house. My guess is serviio would need to be able to use bluray folder structure? Probably not possible, but boy would it be nice.

By the way, I've been using serviio for a year and it is a great program.

Thanks to all involved.

Convert them to a single MKV file then add to library :)
