I recently bought a collector edition boxed set of a 1970s martial arts series I love. I can't even play it in VLC, makemkv beta code situation is borked, and handbrake scans all the titles, then says there are none.

I have a local Plex server I wanted to use, no other devices that can play Blu-ray other than an external USB drive I just bought.

Any advice? The Linux box is on 22.04.

I've been using mkv beta for years, you don't have to pay for it (yet). Works perfectly fine, extracting subtitles is a pain in the ass so far though.

Also I use mkv to rip the bluray and then handbrake so my smart tv can play it, file size is smaller and all that.

are you using subtitle edit to generate the subtitle (srt) files? that's what i use, it's not horrible... but work.
