Now that is interesting. I came here since i requested the same thing on the
mplayer list. They told me to ask it in the libbluray list since (according
to them)  it would only be supported that way. They won't add support for
it.

This is for cases when you play a blu-ray like so:
mplayer br:// -bluray-device /path/to/filename.iso

And if you run the line above (with an existing path) you get this error:
--------------------------------
Playing br://.
get_path('sub/') -> '/home/mark/.mplayer/sub/'
libbluray/bdnav/index_parse.c:157: indx_parse(): error opening
filename.iso/BDMV/index.bdmv
libbluray/bluray.c:1448: nav_get_title_list(filename.iso) failed (0x1b82120)
Can't find any Blu-ray-compatible title here.
No stream found to handle url br://

vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized..

Exiting... (End of file)
--------------------------------

So now i'm confused.. Please just explain what has to happen to let:
mplayer br:// -bluray-device /path/to/filename.iso
play the iso just like :
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/filename.iso
currently works for dvd's!

Or am i in a "endless loop" meaning mplayer points me to libbluray and
libbluray points me to mplayer thus we go nowhere whatever hapens in
libarchive?
