MPC-HC Blu-ray playback (libaacs / libbdplus)

Post by aan3kk »

Hi everyone,

I just learned how to enable VLC to play encrypted Blu-rays and wondered if there is a chance to enable this in MPC-HC too. I tried copying libmmdb.dll into the MPC-HC directory and renaming it to libaacs.dll and libbdplus.dll and I notice a difference. Without these files MPC-HC nearly instantly tells me it cannot render the file but with these files it takes approx. 30 seconds. Sadly the same error is shown. Maybe the menus are the problem?

Is there a way to enable encrypted Blu-ray playback in MPC-HC?

Thank you :)

I haven't tested it, but according to this github user you can easily use this very simple guide and it works.

You just need to download the files and copy them to the folder on Windows. You don't have to configure anything.
Hello,

I have made these operations to play my purchased Bluray diskcs (Full HD discs only) in MPC-HC (64-Bit version).

Load https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releas ... 10.x64.zip
and extract the .zip file to Desktop

Load https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/re ... td-x64.exe and install 7-Zip

Load libaacs/libbdplus DLLs https://mega.nz/file/ZM91CL5Q#VIm1IKA_q ... LwlkINByek and extract the .7z file to Desktop

Open \Desktop\2020-07-26_libaacs_libbdplus\2020-07-26_libaacs_libbdplus\win64and put the 4 .dll files to MPC-HC main folder. In this case to\Desktop\MPC-HC.1.9.10.x64

Go to \AppData\Roaming and create folder with this name: aacs

Load the keydb.cfg file, in this case I loaded the english keydb.cfg file. http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/ -> http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/fv_download.php?lang=eng

Put the keydb.cfg file to aacs folder = \AppData\Roaming\aacs

Put the Bluray disc into Bluray player and open MPC-HC.

In MPC-HC click File -> Open Disc -> select the Bluray Disc and immediately the video starts.

That solution works great for me. However, I prefer MPC-BE and it doesn't seem to work the same way for it. Does anyone more familiar with the mechanical differences between HC and BE have any insight on how to sort it out?

Thanks in advance
