I don't have a blu-ray drive, so don't know whether this will solve the problem or not.  If you go to Menu -> System -> Install Additional Software, a terminal window pops up with choices listed for installation.  One of the choices is for "Install Restricted Extras".  Install that and one of the codecs that it supplies may be what you're missing to play blu-rays.

Hello!

A quick search online found this:

I have a Blu-Ray drive in my Samsung laptop, but no discs to play to check it out...
