The VideoLAN Forums

I'm trying to launch VLC via the command line for reading blu-rays.
I'm using MyMovies to launch VLC as an external player.
The problem is that MyMovies will launch VLC using the following:
vlc bluray:///D:\Videos\HUGO\BDMV

VLC will then start but display the following error:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///D:\Videos\HUGO\BDMV'. Check the log for details.

As you can see above, it launches VLC with the path set to the BDMV folder, rather than the folder one directory level up. It seems VLC doesn't like that.
Is there a way to tell VLC to look one level up and start correctly?

You have to remove the last part if you want the VLC to look one level up.

Use
vlc bluray:///D:\Videos\HUGO

I posted this issue also on the MyMovies forum and bslater0 suggested I try something which worked: I inserted a /../ after the path and it now works fine.
Great! Case closed.
