Ok, I did some playing around
Trial 1:
-ripped blu ray folder structure with makemkv
-copied to file server (last time I only copied the BDMV folder, not all 3!)
-folder shows up as 1 discrete movie
-playing the movie sorta works.  It takes it ~5 minutes to load.  It
seems like does a callback to the server for every piece of the video
before starting (hundreds of lines of the same thing logged over and
over about fetching from backend)

Gave up on that!

Trial 2:
-Downloaded ANYDVD-HD trial version
-rip Paul as an ISO with ripper and set to decrypt everything
-selecting video has NO effect in UI
-Logs show this:

Any ideas?  It seems it's trying to play it as a dvd, not a blu ray.

Thanks
