I'm trying to set up Blu ray playback on a friend's machine. It's Vista.

I've copied the key file to %APPDATA%\AACS

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming>dir aacs
 Volume in drive C is OS
 Volume Serial Number is 7864-E142

 Directory of C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\aacs

               2 Dir(s)  95,999,582,208 bytes free

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming>

And I've added the DLL to the VLC directory:

But I still get:

Blu-Ray error:
Your system AACS decoding library does not work. Missing keys?
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///E:/'. Check the log for details.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Peter

Unfortunately, we need more logs for that, and this is hard to get.
I hope we can have a better log soon.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm willing and able to do some legwork to get the logs if you can point me to some instructions.

PS: Here's a log snippit that may be relevant.

One more note. I installed on MacOS Lion with similar results. (But symlinking libaacs.0.dylib to libaacs.dylib fixed the message that I needed the AACS library.)
