After several attempts and a few “ok I just go on using my PS3 to do it” I finally got the solution to play those BlurayDisk on linux (in my case on ubuntu 14.04). Got to thank my buddy negativo17 for the help!
The main trick is to use MakeMKV. The latest release at this moment is v1.9.5 and it’s available on makemkv.com forum. As a first step download both binary and source files from the forum page then run following command on a shell.
$ sudo apt-get remove libaacs0 $ sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libavcodec-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev
In my case I found that the removal of libaacs0 was not enough (probably I messed around a bit in the previous attempts): in case the file /usr/lib/libaacs.so.0 is still present just delete it manually.
Extract makemkv-bin-1.9.5.tar.gz and makemkv-oss-1.9.5.tar.gz in a temporary directory.
Access makemkv-oss-1.9.5 directory and execute following commands:
$ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
Then access makemkv-bin-1.9.5 and execute following commands:
$ make $ sudo make install
Now execute following commands:
cd /usr/lib sudo ln -s libmmbd.so.0 libaacs.so.0 sudo ln -s libmmbd.so.0 libbdplus.so.0
Now your VLC can play BD disks (just the movie, not the menu)!!
Enjoy.
