Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I’ve got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder.

My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast.

Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices?

EDIT

After some looking around Kodi might be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further.

EDIT 2

The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution

    Can you explain a bit about Kodi playing the discs? I’ve been toying around with this all morning but can’t figure out how to launch the ripped disc. I’ve setup my network files and browsed to the folder with the ripped disc but there’s no way I can see to actually open the folder as a disc that I can see and googling this has failed me.

      I dont personally use this feature, but I know it’s supported.

      I would try a different ripped format. They should be .iso files, which is a direct copy of the disc. Kodi will load them like a virtual bluray drive.

      This thread may also help you if you run into menu issues.
