Using MakeMKV to enable VLC Blu-Ray playback

[tribble]

Hi,

OS X 10.8.5; MakeMKV 1.8.9; VLC 2.1.2

I just found that Sticky the other day and gave it a shot, but all I'm getting from VLC is errors that cause it to hang when I try to open a Blu-Ray disc. Here's how I set it up:

Code: Select all

Computer-1:lib REDACTED: ls -l
total 16
lrwxr-xr-x  1 REDACTED  staff    69B 26 Mar 19:56 libaacs.dylib -> /Users/REDACTED/Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/lib/libmmbd.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 REDACTED  staff    69B 26 Mar 19:56 libbdplus.dylib -> /Users/REDACTED/Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/lib/libmmbd.dylib
Computer-1:lib REDACTED: pwd
/Users/REDACTED/lib

I'm attempting to play BRs by either dragging-and-dropping the disc into VLC's interface, or opening the HDMV file directly through the menu. Either way, it fails. The errors in VLC are:

I'm posting this here because it's based on a MakeMKV hint; if it seems this is a VLC error, just tell me and I'll re-post there instead.

Please try running vlc with MMBD diagnostic output:

Code: Select all

MMBD_TRACE=2 vlc bluray:///Volumes/GOOD_WILL_HUNTING
