VLC integration on Ubuntu 20.04

[belmakier]

I have been trying to use MakeMKV to watch blu-rays in VLC. From what I've read, this should be possible using the libmmbd.so.0 library (viewtopic.php?t=7009). I've created the link as directed in that post. However, when I run VLC and try to play a blu-ray, I get

Code: Select all

aacs.c:546: Error calculating media key. Missing right processing key ?
[1]    19401 segmentation fault (core dumped)  vlc

Note that the MakeMKV has no issues reading or decrypting the same disc. If looking at the output of dmesg

Code: Select all

[28520.654358] vlc[19476]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f9f5bba6e06 sp 00007f9f742bc590 error 6 in libmmbd.so.0[7f9f5bb9f000+10000]

which looks to me like a segfault in the libmmbd.so.0 library. Any ideas on how to proceed?

I am running Ubuntu 20.04, VLC 3.0.9.2, and MakeMKV 1.15.1.

This was solved by compiling and installing MakeMKV from source: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

This installs the libmmbd.so library (as well as several others) directly in /usr/lib.

Not sure what was broken with the snap version.
