Usually 'MakeMKV' is a quite good replacement for libaacs under linux - but it's not available for ARM devices and so it's no solution for the raspberry pi (and it's still not available for arm until now).Ī few weeks ago I stumbled across this post here and started thinking about the VUK problem again.

The only thing that is forever (at least for AACS) is the VUK (Volume Unique Key).Ībout february 2014 I got my first raspberry pi, connected a usb-bluray drive and tried to play a few blurays but simply got disappointed: apart from the problem that the first pi was simply not fast enough to handle the usb-bluray and the decoding I also ran into the problem that the necessary library 'libaacs' needs a VUK for each Bluray to decode it properly - but those keys are only available for older Blurays as the newer ones cannot be decrypted any longer because of the missing processing keys. There are no working processing keys available anymore and even if it would, they would get revoked within a short period of time. Like everyone else I'm deciding whether to pull the trigger on TLY and the resolution of this will be a major factor into whether I go ahead.As we all know there's no chance to free the Bluray format as it happened with the DVD. I just wanted to thank this forum for making me aware of the issue (I may not have discovered it on my own for a while) and for being so proactive in reaching out to The Powers That Be to get it resolved. It's only TEY BDs that seem to be affected. But I'm not wasting any more time backing them up!įWIW, my Immersion and TDB 20th BDs seem fine - though I have the American versions of those sets. All discs seem to play, fortunately, at least for now. Six of the eight BDs show various amounts of bubbling around the edges and Continuation Disc 1 shows those thumbnail deterioration marks reaching into the content area like Dieu's picture earlier in the thread. Too add to the data set here, my TEY box set, purchased on Day 1 from, is showing the same issues as everyone else. like RustyStatic, this BD deterioration issue finally compelled me to pull the trigger and sign up.
