Direct Blu-ray playback with VLC

[MelanX]

Hello. I'm new to this forum

I tried several times within the last year to enable direct playback with VLC and MakeMKV. I followed this "guide" viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7009

I still get this error in VLC when trying to open a Blu-ray disc (sorry, German):

Code: Select all

Blu-ray-Fehler:
Diese Blu-ray-Disc benötigt eine Bibliothek zum Dekodieren von AACS. Auf diesem System ist keine vorhanden.
Ihre Eingabe konnte nicht geöffnet werden:
VLC kann die Medienadresse 'bluray:///dev/sr0' nicht öffnen. Für Details bitte im Fehlerprotokoll nachsehen.

In the post, it only said something about "sudo ln -s libmmbd.so.0 /usr/lib/" in the correct directory. I did that but didn't help.

I installed MakeMKV on Linux Mint 22 using Flatpak. The command to start VLC is:

Code: Select all

perl -e 'use strict; $ENV{"JAVA_HOME"} = "/home/melanx/.config/vlc/java"; exec "/usr/bin/vlc", "--started-from-file", @ARGV;' %u

I also tried this command for some debugging:

Code: Select all

LD_DEBUG=libs /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file

Here's the output when trying to open a Blu-ray: https://gist.github.com/MelanX/ac19b53d ... 97929e601f
First line mentioning libmmbd.so.0 is 1184.

The log says something about libaacs but the other post didn't mention this. Is that important? If yes, what should be done?


Lastly, sorry if I didn't see an existing post handling this, sadly I can't just search for "vlc" because search requires at least 4 characters.
