I see, so if VLC itself didn't cache my disks when the key is revoked not even the keydb.cfg will help me. I am assuming that the keys VLC caches are different from the keydb.cfg and that I can't somehow use those in VLC?

To be honest though, I still don't understand how using my own open software (VLC/libaccs/libbdplus) and a custom firmware on my optical drive would allow a key to be revoked permanently even for disks that are MKBv71 and older, and how MakeMKV apparently still gets around this somehow.

Yeah, I specifically meant UHDs. I have had no issues playing 1080p Blu-Rays. Even the 1080p Blu-Ray of Sonic 2 played just fine from the same Steelbook the UHD disk came from.

You've mentioned custom MakeMKV firmware so I'm guessing you're talking about LibeDrive. I've looked into it a little myself because I want to get a new drive but you may be better off asking at the MakeMKV forum because it's more their "thing".
I tried the VLC forums, and a mod just linked me to this thread.
