I’ve been trying to use VideoLAN (VLC) blu ray on my Window 10, and I keep getting errors. I have put the latest KEYDB and libaacs in, and VLC can't find the key and etc. Is there any way to fix this?

Ever stop to think the keydb doesn't contain the key for your disc then?

The keydb requires either
* a disc specific key
* unrevoked drive certificate + unrevoked processing or device key

I'm trying to play a blu ray for Castlevania Season 2 and I have this in KEYDB.cfg file:

Code: Select all

0x56954A5EE05A311E0672FA5B74F7296990AD0FB8 = CASTLEVANIA SEASON TWO (Castlevania: Season Two)

If there are keys behind it like |U| or |I| it should work. Make sure that your disc matches that discid 0x56954A5EE05A311E0672FA5B74F7296990AD0FB8 = sha1 hash of file AACS\unit_key_ro.inf

I have Unit_Key_RO.inf that matches sha1 in the key.

I don't know then. You need to check libaacs logs to know what exactly goes wrong. Does your setup work for other blurays?

Where can I find libaacs logs on Windows?

You need to know how to use command line

1. open CMD window
2. set AACS_DEBUG_MASK=65535
3. set AACS_DEBUG_FILE=c:\temp\debuglog_aacs.txt
4. start VLC from command line in the same CMD window

Remove your username from the logs if you want to post it

I found another old keydb in my computer and deleted it and now the DVD is now playing. Thank you so much for the advice.
