Linux blu-ray noob

[oldwally2]

Hi, I recently got a Pioneer BDC-S02 blu-ray player which uses firmware 1.07 08/05/29, according to aacskeys-0.3.5.
Java6 is installed.
I use Ubuntu 8.10 and dumphd-0.51, a Radeon 4850 and AnyDvd HD to play blu-ray on vista 32bit when not in linux as blu-ray won't play over dvi and hdmi does not allow 2560x1600 desktop resolution which is standard for the dell 30" monitor I bought especially to watch blu-ray on. (and play games )
In other words, everything is legal as I went out of my way to try and ensure that there would be no problems with hdcp etc. but still it did not work.
Thank goodness for Slysoft and the work of the people on this forum.
I want to play blu-ray with linux (specifically, 2001: A Space Odyssey) and have studied these forums and tried with aacskeys and dumphd, as mentioned above.
DumpHd gives the disc id but also the error messages of
"Loading aacskeys library .......FAILED
no aacskeys in java.library.path"
and later on
"Searching disc in key database....
Disc not found in key database"
Then I tried aacskeys and that gave a lot of info (with the warning message about not posting it on the web) but then stated that:

"The given Host Certficate / Private Key has been revoked by your drive."

Can someone please explain what I need to do next as I believe from reading this forum that it should be possible to play this MKBv4 disc on Ubuntu 8.10?
I found the 2001:A Space Odyssey key on this forum but still no luck.

Many thanks, oldwally2.

I think if you can't get the VID straight away with aacskeys, you'll have to bruteforce it using DumpVID in Windows. At least that's what I do when I see this error, of course there might be other ways I don't know of, but doing that will work.

Then when you have the VID, you can feed it to aacskeys, which will give you the VUK, which in turn you can feed to DumpHD.

[oldwally2]

Thanks HymnToLife, I have searched a bit more and found doom9's guide on how to use aacskeys (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123111&page=11)

and hopefully that will do the trick.

Many thanks, oldwally2.

[oldwally2]

I used aacskeys and dumphd and with a bit of trial and error managed to put the corrrect data in the right place in the KEYDB.cfg file so that dumphd ran.
There were quite a few "Required CPS Unit Key / Sequence not present" error messages but dumphd kept going and completed its work.
In the destination directory I pointed dumphd to there are now 4 folders (BACKUP, CLIPINF, PLAYLIST and STREAM) and 2 files (index.bdmv and MovieObject.bdmv)
The problem is what to do next?
i tried to get xine and mplayer to play the .m2ts files in the STREAM folder but only got an error message.
I realise this is a real noob question but at the moment that is what I am.
Thanks for any help, oldwally2.

Now that you have your decrypted streams, you can use eac3to to remux them into a MKV container, which you will be able to play in mplayer or re-encode in mencoder. More info in this guide.

Are you sure the streams decrypted? Mplayer play excellent .m2ts files, in some cases one needs to write "-demuxer lavf" in mplayer's options.
To a topicstarter:what error mplayer show?

Yes, the whole point of DumpHD is that it decrypts the streams. Otherwise, why would it need the VUK of the disc?

[oldwally2]

Firstly, thanks for the suggestions.
I downloaded eac3to and booted into vista but just had errors when I tried to use it to change the m2ts container to an mkv container. ( I think "container" is the right term from reading some posts here)
Anyway, it did not work for me and whilst I realize that many of the people who are responsible for all the good work on this forum seem to be using virtualization and dual-booting etc I prefer to try and find out how to do these things within linux.
This is not because of any ideological belief or concern about "purity" but simply that I find it difficult enough (with my trial and error method) working out what to do in linux without having to grapple with vista's issues as well, especially vista's commandline issues.
So, following on from yeye69's suggestion of using "mplayer -demuxer lavf /mypathto/BDMV/STREAM/00000.m2ts"
it seemed to work without anything happening (ie no video screen appeared) as the following message says:

"Playing /media/Big/HomeTheatre/2001/2001/BDMV/STREAM/00000.m2ts.

Exiting... (End of file)"

This message takes only about 5 secs to come up.
Whilst 00000.m2ts is only one of many m2ts files it is the first and largest (6.3GB) so I believe this is the best bet.
Trying the other m2ts files (ie 00009.m2ts) results in the same thing happening.
Anyway, any further suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks, oldwally2.

Wine should run eac3to just fine.

Either your MPlayer is outdated (let me guess, 1.0rc2, which is over a year old), or there is something wrong with the decrypted files.

The problem I have with eac3to via wine is it can't mux to mkv because that requires a DirectShow filter. This means it can only -demux to elementary streams which don't contain timecode information. Muxing with mkvmerge after that leaves the a/v out of sync.

He uses Ubuntu 8.10 - it's a lastest version of this distro, mplayer must not be so old. Please, type here mplayer version. Then try to encode some part of any m2ts-files, for example, like that(duration 1 minute, insteed of -alang en, try -aid "here_put_a_number"):

It is: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/mplayer

[yeye69]

Yes, I see. There is only one way - a compiling the latest version of mplayer from svn

[oldwally2]

Ok, here's the latest update in this little saga.
I went to the mplayer site and downloaded the latest release that I could find (mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2) and compiled it but still it could not play the m2ts files and gave the same error message as the older version which cames with Ubuntu8.10.
I then tried yeye69's latest suggestion with the following results:

So it seems it doesn't like m2ts files, even with mencoder being the updated one.

I have been following what ggking7 has been doing and since he has got some blu-ray discs to work in linux I thought I would see if I could also succeed.
However, as he points out above, he has run into some problems.
I'm sure that sooner or later we will be able to play blu-ray in linux but understandably with all the changes going on in terms of new aacskeys and BD+ schemes it is necessary to concentrate on making sure that new blu-ray titles can play within windows for those who have purchased these discs.
Anyway, thanks for everyones help.
Cheers, oldwally2.

[HymnToLife]

I will reinstall Ubuntu on my main computer soon-ish and see what I can come up with. It can't be that hard to play back streams when you have them decrypted...

[yeye69]

demux: File doesn't contain the selected audio or video stream.

Try also -demuxer lavf in mencoder encoding options. Maybe audio truck number mismatched, use also -nosound instead -alang en -channels 6 -oac copy .

Download this:

http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net

and run to know a video and audio streams information

Evidence points to a broken file. If -demuxer lavf doesn't help either, you could still try some Windows players like MPC HC to be sure. Or MediaInfo, as yeye69 suggested.

Your files are not decrypted. DumpHD ignores most of the errors to decrypt as much as it can from your disc but displays them. Missing CPS Unit Keys WILL lead to unsuccessful decryption. Your trail and error wasn't successful, your key entry in the database is wrong, can you post it please?

[oldwally2]

Thanks KenD00, here are the aacskeys info:

[KenD00]

If you want to post aacskeys output then don't use the -s switch but the -v switch, the warning message is there for a reason.

Well, i didn't expect that mistake, but using a Processing Key as VUK won't work. You need to have the VUK of the disc. Regarding your BD-Drive you can't get this information with linux alone, you need windows and a licensed software player to get the Volume ID.

In the first post of the DumpHD thread you can find links to a tutorial on how to proceed in your situation, follow the steps outlined there to get the VUK of your disc.
