BD+ with VLC 2.1.0 on Windows & libmmbd Does Not Work

[niteriderxp]

Hi,

I see that there is no guide to use libmmbd with VLC on Windows, only linux/mac. However, I created the required symlinks and it appears that AACS works as non-BD+ disks play fine in VLC. When I attempt to play a BD+ disk I get "This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for BD+ decoding, and your system does not have it.".

Here is how I made the symlinks for VLC 32bit:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC>mklink libaacs.dll "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll"
symbolic link created for libaacs.dll <<===>> C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC>mklink libbdplus.dll "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll"
symbolic link created for libbdplus.dll <<===>> C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll

I also tried with VLC 64bit:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>mklink libaacs.dll "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd64.dll"
symbolic link created for libaacs.dll <<===>> C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd64.dll

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>mklink libbdplus.dll "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd64.dll"
symbolic link created for libbdplus.dll <<===>> C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd64.dll

Is it a problem with VLC 2.1.0 or libmmbd on Windows? It's like it can't see the library for some reason. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nite Rider

hi,

same here, tryed it with avatar and it does not work
did the same with linux and xbmc there it worked, so its a special problem with vlc, maybe special to windows, when vlc is started with debug the error in the log comes from libbluray

file/dl_win32.c:82: GetProcAddress(0000000002bf0000, 'bdplus_event') failed: Die
angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.
file/dl_win32.c:82: GetProcAddress(0000000002bf0000, 'bdplus_m2ts') failed: Die

file/dl_win32.c:82: GetProcAddress(0000000002bf0000, 'bdplus_m2ts_close') failed
: Die angegebene Prozedur wurde nicht gefunden.
file/libbdplus.c:108: libbdplus dlsym failed! (0000000002bf0000)

beside this with just aacs discs from 15 only 6 worked, the rest only shows the movie time, the drives is blinking like playing but the time index stays 00:00, debug log shows a lot of
ts debug: skipping 1692 bytes of garbage

among the not working discs
V - Vendetta, Iron Man, Hellboy, Hellboy2, Ptch Black, 5th Element

those discs also did not work with linux and xbmc (xbmc seemed to play but no audio or video)

The libbdplus API was changed recently, the next MakeMKV version will support the new API as well. Also, on windows you don't necessary to make a link - you may just copy libmmbd.dll twice - to libaacs.dll and to libbdplus.dll
