The VideoLAN Forums

The problem with the graphical presentation errors for some blu rays seem to be windows unique. I am able to play the same blu rays on fedora 27 or openSUSE 42,3 - vlc is 3.0.0 or the nightly update for vlc 4.0.0 .

I have opened an incident on https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/attachment/ticket/18036/

You might use the software from http://dvdfab.cn/passkey-lite.htm
But I am not sure if the light version will work for all of your BluRays - I used only the full product during the trial period.

Note - you have to use vlc-3.0.0 and a proper java re to watch BluRays with Java Menus.

Goto videolan.org - there you will find the most common version compiled for your OS
On https://get.videolan.org/vlc/ you will find older versions and a 64-bit version
On http://nightly.videolan.org/ you will find beta versions (2.2.5 and 3.0.0)

Did you try to install ES File Explorer ? You are able to mount your windows files systems in android TV If you select a video file you are offered to play your video with the ES Media Player, Video and vlc. But ... If you connect an USB-device to your TV, ES tries to mount this device - this maybe ...

The "Java-Error" with BluRays still exists on fedora 25 -
no problems with openSUSE Leap 42.1 or Windows 10 and actual vlc 3.0.0-git Vetinary

You can install http://www.dvdfab.cn/passkey-lite.htm and
vlc-3.0.0 from http://nightlies.videolan.org
At least during the testing period for the registered product you have full access to blurays.

There are other methods to install vlc - but I am not sure if all the latest versions of vlc will run on an outdated Windows. On http://nightlies.videolan.org/ you will find 2.2.5 and 3.0.0 in different formats - you should take either a 7z or zip compressed version. Also you find a zipped version o...

I tried to play an m2ts file on Android 6 (Sony Xperia M5, vlc 2.0.6) and on Android TV (Sony KD-49XD8305) in both cases I get only the sound. Hope I get the the German error message correct translated - error in hardware acceleration, software decoding is used. The same video is played on my Sony T...

As long as you using vlc-3.0.0 from http://nightlies.videolan.org/ and Passkey Light from http://www.dvdfab.cn/passkey-lite.htm and an actual java runtime library is installed BluRays with menus should work. Be sure that you have installed all products with the same addressing mode. One remark - I d...

Your report is a duplicate of https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=135102

pls. try the solution suggested in https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=135102

Just a note to "in that post, list another way to fix this problem using keys database and AACS dynamic library" key database and AACS have nothing to do with DVDs - these are only needed for BluRays. Try to use vlc from the sourceforge.net - on http://www.labdv.com/aacs/ you will find the...

Why you not using 2.2.4 or 3.0.0 ? If the official sites for 2.2.4 still have a trouble with the 64-bit version try https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdx/files/Open%20Blu-ray/VLC%20Blu-ray/vlc-2.2.4-bluray_x64.zip/download - more details for this version also on http://www.labdv.com/aacs/ On http://...

Seems to be a bug in the version for Linux -
operation on Windows 10 x64 is okay
also vlc-2.2.4 works on openSUSE 13.2

You should open an incident at the people who did the packaging for your distribution.

On http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html you can select also the 64bit installer for vlc
but I would recommend you to download vlc via http://www.labdv.com/aacs/
or to use vlc-3.0.0 which you can download from http://nightlies.videolan.org/

Fedora 25 is still beta. I hope you are getting the packages from the correct repositories. If you have a problem with vlc you have to report this at bugzilla.rpmfusion.org if the bug exists on a component used by vlc you have to report this at bugzilla.redhat.com vlc-3.0.0-0.8.fc25.x86_64.rpm - the...

Are you able to mount the remote filesystem in openSUSE
(Examples how to do this you can find e.g. on http://www.linuxnix.com/8-ways-to-mount ... -in-linux/ )

If this works you should be able to access to your remote video like it is local.

To answer your question "optical drive" - pls. have a look at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw_el_PuBxFkMGJTekNwZUt4dnc/view Unfortunately I have a German Windows 10 x64, so my translations may not fit to your Windows Edition. In my case I have 2 optical drives, G: is a BluRay Burner an...

Hi courtrock77,

are you trying to play a "real=physical" DVD, or do you have DVD-image on disk ?
in both cases you should start vlc selecting media --> open Media
in case of a physical DVD open your optical drive
in case of an DVD-image open the path to VIDEO_TS

Error has been already reported : [Bug 1380437] vlc cannot play BluRays with BD-J menus

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1380437

Try to install from Packman repository - but don't forget to delete old installations

If you can't kill vlc in the taskmanager, just shut down your system.

In the meantime the problems on openSUSE Leap 42.1 and on Windows 10 x64 are solved with the latest updates of vlc-3.0.0 the error on fedora 24 still exists, so I have issued 2 incidents : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1380437 https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4270 But you...

Sorry to answer so late (I was on holiday without internet access) - did you really install the vlc version I suggested from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdx/files/Open%20Blu-ray/VLC%20Blu-ray/vlc-2.2.4-bluray_x64.zip/download ? In my case I can play a commercial DVD without problems (DVD opene...

Why you want to recompile vlc ?
What is wrong with vlc for your target system ?

Before it takes a long time to find a direct solution -
vlc should be able to convert a .ts file to .mp4

Start vlc, then CTRL+R - this will open a dialog to convert a video
