Re: Cannot Play Blu Ray with VLC

Just wanted to mention there is another good reason to get the Java 8 JRE from Oracle. Not only for the sake of having menus. Some movie studios are making things difficult by doing something called title obfuscation. When you open up the disc in MakeMKV, it may show 50, or 100 full length (2 hours ...

Re: Cannot Play Blu Ray with VLC

I'm running Mojave 10.14.6. No need for creating a folder named lib, or creating symlinks. As soon as I installed the current MakeMKV, I moved the the lib folder to the trash, but did not empty it right away. It's been gone for 2 weeks or more now. Not necessary. Everything is fine without it. The i...

Re: Cannot Play Blu Ray with VLC

Hey - you are way overthinking this one. Don't need to click on open Open Video_TS/BDMV folder. If I do that, I get the exact same error message as you. Just open VLC, File, Open Disc. If you see the name of the disc in the window, just click the big blue rectangle that says open. If you have never ...

Re: Direct Blu-ray playback with VLC stopped working after upgrading VLC to 3.0.5

This is a reply to the first post here, by galbibob. I experienced the same issue with VLC 3.0.5 and Mac OS Mojave. In a nutshell, you can retain VLC playback, with menus, by sticking with VLC 3.0.4. Or, you can turn OFF SIP on your Mac and use the latest version available of VLC. OR, you can instal...

Re: More on Blu-Ray playback with VLC Player

I looked up the changelog for VLC - saw the following: macOS: * Starting with VLC 3.0.5, VLC will be distributed with runtime hardening enabled on macOS Mojave. All external VLC plugins need to be signed by a DeveloperID certificate in order to continue working with the official VLC package. Did a l...

VLC 3.0.4 works fine. Later releases do not.

Re: More on Blu-Ray playback with VLC Player

I know this is an old thread but I tried making this work and no luck. My MakeMKV was in a subfolder but now lives at root of Applications. Check. Symlinked the files correctly to my ~/lib folder. Check. Run VLC and get the AACS error in VLC. Running Mac OS 10.4.1 VLC 3.0.6 MakeMKV 1.14.2 No instan...

Re: Bluray playback script for VLC/HandBrake/Kodi on Windows

Just wanted to let everyone know that while this method works fine for VLC 2.2.4 (Windows, 64-bit), it's not working with VLC 2.2.6, Windows 64-bit. Libmmbd64.dll renamed libaacs.dll or sitting in the VLC folder as a symbolic link named libaacs.dll leads to VLC saying it can't find a usable libaacs...

More on Blu-Ray playback with VLC Player

In case anyone is having problems with the method mentioned in the sticky, I'd like to mention this - I started out with MakeMKV in a folder within my /Applications folder that I use for video-oriented applications - Handbrake, etc., etc. So, I created symlinks to MakeMKV within that folder. The sym...
