¿How to play original Bluray discs from XBMC in Linux?

[Tassadar]

Hi all,

I've a HTPC with XBMC and I play with no problems MKVs and ISOs from my own blurays (created with Windows in other computer)

Now I have install a Bluray reader with the aim of playing my blurays directly, and I've found it doesn't work (The ISO file works, but original disc doesn't).

¿Hoy can I enable the play of those original optical disks? I've try installing an addon called "makeMKV" but when I try to use it gives a message saying something like "MakeMKV doesn't work, it is installed?"

¿Can someone lend me a hand? I would like to play original BDs in the easyest possible way, as I play ISOS now.

Many thanks in advance

I Finally get was I was looking for using makeMKV, the issue was that when I installed prior day it was on the night after 14 hours working and my mind shouldn't be lucid, I had installed XBMC add-on but not the makeMKV itself.

I tested a pair of original blurays I own and seem't to work

Many thanks again

This is interesting. You are playing blurays with XBMC with an addon called makemkv? Or the other way around.
These are the only results i see for MKV in the repositories:
6 mkvtoolnix-gui
Set of tools to work with matroska files - gui frontend
4 mkvtoolnix
Set of command-line tools to work with matroska files
0 libmkv-dev
Alternative to the official libmatroska/libebml libraries (development)
0 libmkv0
Alternative to the official libmatroska/libebml libraries

Whats the latest with playing bluray w/ VLC? I can't seem to get it to work.

Open a term window -

sudo apt-get install vlc libaacs0 libbluray-bdj libbluray1

mkdir -p ~/.config/aacs/

cd ~/.config/aacs/ && wget http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/files/KEYDB.cfg

REBOOT the computer

Open media > Open disc > select bluray and "no disc menus" > play

BE PATIENT, it takes 10 or so sceonds to figure stuff out and start playing...

Did all the above, but got:

Code: Select all

No valid processing key found in AACS config file

I have MakeMKV installed and payed.

What did I miss to do.?

This is what I did to get bluray to play on VLC in LM17 thanks to a post on askubuntu.com

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:heyarje/makemkv-beta
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install makemkv-bin makemkv-oss
sudo apt-get remove libaacs0
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libmmbd.so.0 libaacs.so.0
sudo ln -s libmmbd.so.0 libbdplus.so.0

It looks like you may not have done the last three commands to make symlinks

Yes! That did it! Kudos, kudos!

The symlinks I underständ, but why are they not installed or mentioned in instructions for MakeMKV? Or are they and I have missed it?
I have a faint idea, why libaacs0 has to be removed, but could you kindly explain to a peasant why ? I just want to understand what I am doing.

Anyway the topic seems to be solved now, at least at my behalf. Thats thanks to you.
