Your input can't be opened?

Postby Thekey147 » 05 Nov 2014 07:39

Hello!
I've been kinda stalking this forum for a while hoping that someone else already answered this.
I'm using an ASUS Blu Ray Drive, and from what I can see, everything is working. I have everything in their correct places, and I no longer get an error about not having keys or AACS unless if I'm running the 32 bit VLC. I opened and played Scott Pilgrim vs. The World's DVD without an issue, and then used the same drive to try and play the bluray version to get the error;
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///D:/'. Check the log for details.

Fearing that it was because it was a newish movie (coming out in 2010) I tried the older Incredible Hulk (2008) and still ran into the same problem. I read somewhere that it might be the firewall (only for streaming, but I gave it a go anyway) to have no effect.

If anyone has any possible solutions at all, I'd love to hear them, I'm really new to VLC, and only am giving it a whirl because I got a free copy of DAEMON Tools Pro from getting a few new computer components, so I wanted to put all my blurays as a mountable disc and just have a nice categorized library of movies.

Just to clarify, the KEYDB.cfg is located in AppData\Roaming\aacs
The libaacs.dll is located in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC with the vlc.exe

The ONLY issue I'm getting is

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///D:/'. Check the log for details.

Looking around, I found out how to get debug messages, so..

Code: Select all

main debug: adding item `(null)' ( bluray:///D:/ ) qt4 debug: Adding a new MRL to recent ones: bluray:///D:/ main debug: processing request item: (null), node: null, skip: 0 main debug: rebuilding array of current - root Playlist main debug: rebuild done - 2 items, index 1 main debug: starting playback of the new playlist item main debug: resyncing on (null) main debug: (null) is at 1 main debug: creating new input thread main debug: Creating an input for '(null)' main debug: Creating an input for '(null)' main debug: meta ok for (null), need to fetch art main debug: using timeshift granularity of 50 MiB, in path 'C:\Users\Cesar\AppData\Local\Temp' main debug: `bluray:///D:/' gives access `bluray' demux `' path `/D:/' main debug: creating demux: access='bluray' demux='' location='/D:/' file='D:\' main debug: looking for meta fetcher module matching "any": 1 candidates main debug: looking for access_demux module matching "bluray": 12 candidates lua debug: Trying Lua scripts in C:\Users\Cesar\AppData\Roaming\vlc\lua\meta\fetcher lua debug: Trying Lua scripts in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\meta\fetcher lua debug: Trying Lua playlist script C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\meta\fetcher\tvrage.luac main debug: using meta fetcher module "lua" main debug: removing module "lua" main debug: art not found for (null) qt4 debug: IM: Setting an input libbluray info: First play: 1, Top menu: 1 HDMV Titles: 1, BD-J Titles: 80, Other: 80 main debug: no access_demux modules matched main debug: creating access 'bluray' location='/D:/', path='D:\' main debug: looking for access module matching "bluray": 20 candidates main debug: no access modules matched main error: open of `bluray:///D:/' failed main debug: finished input main debug: dead input main debug: changing item without a request (current 1/2) main debug: nothing to play qt4 debug: IM: Deleting the input
Shortly after getting a fail like "nothing to play" I put it into my PS4 for it to work, so it isn't a faulty disc or anything.

Is there anything else I can do to help diagnose the issue?

Hmm, I was trying it again and I didn't actually get an error, but it didn't play.
Looking at the debug, and I got this.

I've been changing around what movies I'm using because I have a ton that I'm trying to make images for, and sometimes before I start making an image I'll test it to see if it works.
I'm not going to give up, and if I have all of these bluray movies, I should just make digital images for them anyway so I can start going disc-less.

In a last ditch effort, I completely deleted everything and reinstalled VLC.
Still got the same error

Code: Select all

main debug: adding item `(null)' ( bluray:///F:/ ) qt4 debug: Adding a new MRL to recent ones: bluray:///F:/ main debug: processing request item: (null), node: null, skip: 0 main debug: rebuilding array of current - root Playlist main debug: rebuild done - 1 items, index 0 main debug: starting playback of the new playlist item main debug: resyncing on (null) main debug: (null) is at 0 main debug: creating new input thread main debug: Creating an input for '(null)' main debug: Creating an input for '(null)' main debug: no fetch required for (null) (art currently (null)) main debug: using timeshift granularity of 50 MiB, in path 'C:\Users\Cesar\AppData\Local\Temp' main debug: `bluray:///F:/' gives access `bluray' demux `' path `/F:/' main debug: creating demux: access='bluray' demux='' location='/F:/' file='F:\' main debug: looking for access_demux module matching "bluray": 12 candidates qt4 debug: IM: Setting an input libbluray info: First play: 0, Top menu: 0 HDMV Titles: 5, BD-J Titles: 86, Other: 86 main debug: no access_demux modules matched main debug: creating access 'bluray' location='/F:/', path='F:\' main debug: looking for access module matching "bluray": 20 candidates main debug: no access modules matched main error: open of `bluray:///F:/' failed main debug: finished input main debug: dead input main debug: changing item without a request (current 0/1) main debug: nothing to play qt4 debug: IM: Deleting the input
Next I'm going to install the 32 bit VLC and try that..

Heh, it just crashed... Tried 3 times, and it crashed every time...

From Messages, all I could really see is a buncha stuff I don't quite understand, and the last message was "IM: Setting an input" after "art not found for (null)"

weee...

Any ideas?
