Blu-ray on mac

Postby dandu » 25 Jan 2012 21:56

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 :

Code: Select all

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)

Interesting issue

Did you mount the BD first in your finder?

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

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?

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/..

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

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.
