Hello

I try to test the Blu-ray on my Mac with VLC... but nothing happend.

My Mac :

MacBook Pro 17 inch with Lion
Blu-ray reader : MATSHITA BD-CMB UJ-120 (external, FireWire)
VLC Version 1.2.0-rc1 64 bits (i can't use the 32 bits i686 version)

When i try to read a Blu-ray, i have the same error with libbluray :
I have tried with old Blu-ray (MPEG2), recent, etc.

Have you an idea ?

(i have tried to install libaacs and the key on ~/.config/aacs)

Today, i made a test with another Blu-ray reader and a Blu-ray demo with no protection, and i have the same problem.

libbluray/bluray.c:1554: nav_get_title_list(/dev/rdisk2) failed (0x102216800)
[0x109c90730] libbluray demux debug: Selecting Title 268435456
[0x109c90730] libbluray demux error: cannot select bd title '0'

Interesting issue

Did you mount the BD first in your finder?

Yes, i can mount the Blu-ray.

The second test was made with a Blu-ray demo (x264) and i burn myself the Blu-ray

Did you try opening the mounted folder and not the device?

Like with "bluray:///Volumes/"x264 Demo Blu-ray" ?

I have the same error, VLC try to open /dev/rdisk2

Yes.

Why VLC use /dev/rdisk instead /dev/disk ?

No idea. The bluray module can only read folders and not raw devices.

It's strange : on my MacBook Pro, i can't read Blu-ray.

With the MacBook from my colleague, it works with a demo Blu-ray (x264 Demo) and the same USB reader.

Funny. Same OSX version? Same VLC version? (Sorry to state the obvious)
Can you share message logs of those 2 playback?

Same OS X version (10.7.2), same VLC version i suppose.

I try tomorrow (it's very slow on a old MacBook)

OK, i try on the other Mac : impossible to reproduce : i can't read Blu-ray.

When i try to read a BDMV folder, same error.

When i try to read directly the m2ts into the stream folder : it works, but very slowly, with buffering.

You should be able to play simple BDMV folder directly by open bluray:///path/to/folder/BDMV/..

i have the same message :

You are not opening a folder...

I try, i write the name of the folder (like Volumes/blabla/BDMV) but VLC try to open the /dev/rdisk2

main debug: creating access 'bluray' location='/dev/rdisk2', path='/dev/rdisk2'

means bluray:///dev/rdisk2 was entered... It can be a GUI bug too, btw.

Can you run it command line?

Good news !

With command line, it works.

With the Interface, VLC try to open /dev/rdisk2

But if i force to use /Volumes/x264\ Demo\ Blu-ray with command line, it works. It's slow, but it works.

I try with a commercial Blu-ray

Is it a slow start or?

slow to start and slow with the video, because it's a old Blu-ray reader (a 2x reader for notebook)

And i can't reade protected Blu-ray. I put the right library (i think) into VLC, but i have this message : Ce disque Blu-Ray a besoin d'une bibliothèque de décodage AACS, et votre système ne l'a pas.

yes, AACS is not ported to Macs, AFAIK.

With the last version of VLC, it works !

dando can you post the command line to open a blu-ray?

\o/

Yes, I discussed with Felix so he could fix the GUI.
