The only downside with makemkv is that you have to spend the time ripping the video before you can watch it, and you need sufficient disk space to hold the results. Makemkv is still the best bet for ripping blu-ray on the mac, and it seems to be free indefinitely (if you read the instructions carefully). The OP stated in a follow-up post that he was looking for a capture/ripping solution. It seems like an interesting solution, if the you’re not put off by the pricing like I was, but you can only view AFAIK. Yes, I looked at macblurayplayer a while ago. So far I haven’t had a single problem with rips using this drive. I’ve also done countless DVD rips with this drive on an older mac running snow leopard and the venerable mac the ripper v2.6.6 (I’m slowly converting my DVD library to digital form). I’ve done dozens of blu-ray rips on this drive with makemkv. It supports multiple hard drives and any other usb device I’ve thrown at it. FWIW the hub I use is a “HooToo 9-Port 60 Watt USB 3.0 Hub with 2 Smart Charging Ports and 7 Data Transfer Ports,” purchased on Amazon back in 2014. MacOS recognizes it as a valid optical drive, so everything works with it (DVD Player, VLC, Adobe Premiere - you name it). I connect it to my MBP via a powered USB3 7-port hub (to work around the fact that the mac only has two USB ports).
My USB3 blu-ray drive is a Pioneeer BDR-XD05S Slim drive (sorry, I thought it was OWC, but I it’s not).

In any event, that would probably only allow audio/video capture, not a full disc rip. The thunderbolt port might work with the right adapter, but you’ll probably still need software to get the video data to the screen.
I’m not sure if the mac HDMI connector is bidirectional.
