Does Xreveal Provide a Blu-ray Playback Plugin for VLC and Kodi?

Yes. Xreveal's news feed lists a "Blu-ray playback plugin for VLC and Kodi - v1.5.1," dated 2026-09-24. That entry sits alongside the Xreveal 3.0.0 release (2026-09-18) and its beta updates, so the plugin is a separate companion download rather than something bundled inside the main Xreveal installer. If you want to play Blu-ray discs through VLC or Kodi on Windows, the intended setup is Xreveal running in the background plus this plugin.

What the plugin is for

Xreveal itself is a Windows application that "removes restrictions of DVD and Blu-ray media automatically in the background." Its own description explains the mechanism: it works in the background to "automatically and transparently enable read access of the contents of a movie disc as soon as it's inserted into the drive," after which "the disc will become useable to your operating system and all programs on your computer."

That last point matters for playback. Xreveal does not present itself as a player — it makes the disc readable. The VLC/Kodi plugin is the piece that lets those two players take advantage of the now-readable disc.

What Xreveal does on its own

Before adding the plugin, it helps to know what the base application already covers, since some of these features overlap with playback needs:

• Work automatically in the background
• Work on-the-fly without the need to store data onto your hard disk
• Run natively on Windows x64/x86/arm64 devices from XP to latest 11
• Remove region code from DVD/BD/UHD
• Remove user prohibitions
• Backup disc as ISO or folder
• Verify the integrity of Blu-ray M2TS files, include the decrypted M2TS files
• Change ISO file volume label
• Dark mode

The region-code removal is the relevant one for playback: Xreveal "optionally removes region codes, thereby making the movie region free and comfortably viewable on any DVD/Blu-ray player and with any DVD/Blu-ray playback software."

System requirements

The 5 MB figure is the stated requirement for Xreveal. The download itself is listed at 2.6 MB, so the plugin adds little on top of an already small footprint.

How to get it

The plugin is announced in the news section of the Xreveal site, and the site's navigation includes a Download page. Practical steps:

1. Install Xreveal 3.0.0 (or a later build) from the Download page.
2. Confirm Xreveal is running in the background so it can decrypt the disc when inserted.
3. Get the Blu-ray playback plugin v1.5.1 from the same download area.
4. Install the plugin for the player you use — VLC or Kodi.
5. Insert the Blu-ray disc and open it in the player.

The expected result is that the player reads the disc through Xreveal's transparent decryption instead of hitting the disc's restrictions directly.

Points to watch

• Version pairing. The plugin is listed as v1.5.1 while Xreveal is at 3.0.0, with 3.0.0.1 and 3.0.0.2 betas following. If playback misbehaves, checking that both are current is a reasonable first step.
• Beta vs. release. The 3.0.0.1 and 3.0.0.2 entries are explicitly labeled beta; 3.0.0 is the release build. Choose accordingly if stability matters more than new fixes.
• The site does not state pricing for the plugin or the main application in the material available here, so treat cost as unconfirmed rather than assuming either free or paid.
• Platform scope. Everything described is Windows-only, from XP through 11, on x64, x86, and arm64.

If your goal is simply to make a Blu-ray disc playable in VLC or Kodi on Windows, the combination of Xreveal in the background and the v1.5.1 plugin is the documented path.
