Here's the wiki entry:

Good luck. Like you, I saw in the release notes and mailing list that 0.24
now "supports Blu-Ray" playback, so I bought a drive off newegg and a couple
discs, and thought that it would "just work". I was sorely mistaken. I
haven't spent much time looking into it yet but it appears you need to have
the decrypt key for every disc you want to play ahead of time. Plus, the
wiki says that the discs must be  "protected by AACS MKB version 10 or
lower, and not protected by BD+ "  - I have no idea what that means or how
to figure that out.

My fault for not researching things a bit further before diving in, but IMHO
there really should be disclaimers on features like these.
