BD Movie Playing on JRiver & VLC

[tyner]

I’ve used VLC player for years to play DVDs but now I want to use it and JRiver to play, but not rip, BDs. VLC has the best slow motion but very clunky zoom control while JRiver has excellent zoom but no slow motion control, two features which I often find indispensable for DVD and BD movie playback.

I’ve tried and failed more than once to correctly install these things https://www.lifewire.com/play-blu-rays-on-windows-10-4582918 And these presumably more exacting steps are even way more confusing. https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176924

IOW, a coder I am not. I'm just looking the best easy as pie solution.

Again, I have no need or interest in ripping BDs. And I have no problem with propriety software, but with Redfox gone can anyone say how reliable this or another solution is for 1080p BD movie playback on VLC and JRiver? https://www.dvdfab.cn/passkey-for-blu-ray.htm

You can try my short VLC guide available here: http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/

Passkey is working fine for me - although I usually don't use it because the keys in the keydb are good enough.

I've never used JRiver - so no idea what it needs to play BDs with it.

AnyDVD should still work. An alternate solution is XReveal which is also an on the fly decryptor if you use keydb.cfg.
