Linux Blu-Ray: BD+ defeated

Although the question remains when Blu-Ray will gain critical momentum as the DVD replacement, the ability to play Blu-Ray on Linux has come closer as BD+, of which its developers said it would take 10 years to break, has been decoded.

On the Doom9 forum there is a discussion that is not exactly entry level. It picked up speed in the second half of October and over the weekend there was talk of tangible results.

It is as yet hard to say when it will lead to Blu-Ray playback on Linux, still an important barrier has been broken.
