Comment:

 Here is an attempt at properly fixing this one.
 1- The simplest solution is to remove the / at the end of the URL.
 However this is only a workaround, if the path defined in the video
 settings contains a / it will not work.
 The issue lie quite deep in ProgramInfo::GetPlaybackURL() and
 GetBasename(). if the path contains a trailing '/' then it ends up trying
 to play an empty filename.

 2-the BD player only works if you provide the actual path where the disk
 is physically mounted. Symbolic link to it do not work. This patch attempt
 to determine the real path before trying to play the BD disk

 3- Allow launching the BD playback to an external player, sharing the same
 settings as DVD playback. The %d argument is replaced by
 bd:///path/to/mount (note use of a standard URI schema: name:// ; with
 patch # 2 extra path at the top are ignored anyway.

 To come: fix the trailing / issue. This has unexpected consequences and is
 rather large.

 Ultimately, transform the URI to use standard scheme, rather than just
 dvd: or dvd:/

 # 1 and # 2 are in queue for 0.25 freeze.

 # 3 and other later
