Blu-ray aacs regression

I've been using http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/ for my KEYDB.cfg file when I want to play straight from a blu-ray disk, and it updates on the website almost daily, so sometimes I update my cfg and strangely, some of my disks have regressed to not playing, when previously they did play just fine, say...

Re: 4K UHD display

Ah I see, thank you for the insight. I think I may be one of those people who prefer the convenience of a soundbar, maybe I'll change my mind in the future, but I think right now a small and simple soundbar setup looks more appealing to me than a speaker setup that might be more complex. Really I wa...

4K UHD display

Sorry if this is kind of off-topic, but I was curious, what kind of displays do people use to watch UHD content? I don't really understand much of the QOLED or OLED or SRGB stuff, most of it goes over my head, and I understand even less about audio, so if one only cares about raw quality and doesn't...

Re: VLC won't play BD

Thank you very much for the comment. I ensured all those packages you named were installed (several were not) but vlc still would not play a disk when started from the desktop icon. Doing a bit more searching I found a reference to starting it without the menu, using cvlc. When I tried it that way,...

Re: BDJ menus broken Fedora 38

BD-J Menus never worked for me with anything else than Java 8. Thank you, it took me forever to realize I had to use Java 8 and set VLC to use Java 8, I suppose in my head there should always be some backwards compatibility for newer software so I couldn't understand why I should install Java 8 and...

BDJ menus broken Fedora 38

I have libaacs, libbluray, libbluray-bdj all installed, and relevant config files, I don't remember which are from RPM Fusion and which are from the official repos, if that even matters, but when I originally installed libbluray-bdj, the Java menus worked for MiB, but now they don't work at all on a...

Re: VLC won't play BD

Weird... What about using an aacs config file directly without MakeMKV? It's worked for me(mostly, I think I broke disk menu support, but I'm not sure how I broke it, it also doesn't do bdplus that's separate). You can do "mkdir -p ~/.config/aacs && cd ~/.config/aacs/ && wget -O...
