I appreciate the suggestion. I tried that a few years ago, but Mac OS' built-in DVD sharing only works on discs without copy protection. Then I spent a few nights trying to get VLC to stream a disc from my PC but couldn't get that working either.
If anybody's got experience along this line of thought I'm interested; it could be a viable way forward as I have several desktops (Win/Lin/Mac) with optical drives.
- jzombie 3y agoMy guess is that sharing from Linux would give you more options in terms of how to work around the copy protection. I don't know if you use Docker, but a seriously weird sharing workaround could be to use a Samba share to mount in Finder, pointed to your drive on Linux... I made a Docker repo that could probably be modified to fit this use case: https://github.com/jzombie/sshfs-mac-docker https://github.com/jzombie/sshfs-mac-docker
