I am trying to use XBMC to play a Blu Ray. It worked fine yesterday but today it makes my computer freeze. I think it is CPU related so thought id try this: http://thepcspy.com/read/how-fix-idle-100-cpu-issue-xbmc/

I'm not seeing advancedsettings.xml however. Do you have any suggestions on how to get Blu Ray playback working in Ubuntu?

There are a few methods out there that can be used to play a BluRay disc under Linux. Most are pretty painful and make buying a BluRay player and sitting it next to your monitor look like a viable solution.

VLC is a universal video player - it plays just about everything except DLNA streams. It's also a very popular player. Installation:

To do so Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

sudo apt-get install vlc
