Region locked BD's fail on VLC (libmmbd)

As title says. Same results occur on Windows and Linux (dual boot). The discs work on makemkv proper, and the discs and drive match regions. Do I have to do any special configuration?

vlc lets you choose the region. change it. there's no such thing as a region free bluray player that can play discs without user intervention. It's an impossibility, the only option is to choose the right region for each disc.
