Trying to use MakeMKV with mpv

EncryptedEggs · 13th July 2023, 00:49

MakeMKV has a dll called libmmbd.dll which can pretend to be libaacs.dll so that players that use libbluray will talk to libaacs.dll, which is really libmmbd, which will spin up MakeMKV to do the decryption.

I've been able to do this successfully with VLC, and I'm trying to do it with mpv, per these pages: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/view...php?f=3&t=7009, https://www.funtoo.org/Playing_Blu-ray. Whenever I run this:

Code:

mpv bd:///E:

I get this error:

Code:

/__w/mpv-winbuild-cmake/mpv-winbuild-cmake/src_packages/libbluray/src/libbluray/disc/aacs.c:121: No usable AACS libraries found!
[bd] AACS encryption detected but cannot find libaacs.

Here's where that error comes from:

.

I've tried setting the LIBAACS_PATH variable to various things, libbluray never finds libaacs. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

I solved this by putting libaacs.dll in the same folder as mpv.exe.
