Try playback of a Blu-Ray with MPC-BE. If this also fails then you may have a "bad" drive that maybe needs a firmware patch.

@boelle...

First up, I've gotten lazy and fall back on Xreveal a lot nowadays because it tends to just work nicely with anything that causes VLC problems. But, since this thread is about "Blu-ray playback with libaacs & libbdplus" we'll stick with that, shall we?

I thought I'd try my copy of The Phantom Menace to see what happened and I got the red screen as well! However, I think my VLC setup has got a bit messed up with me trying various different things so I thought I'd have a bit of clean up to see if I could get it working.

The fact that you're at least getting the red screen error means that you must have got most of the setup correct otherwise you'd not have even got that error message to "work". I wasn't even getting that far and VLC was complaining that "This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for BD+ decoding, and your system does not have it." I had a bit of a poke around and discovered I'd somehow got my vm0 folder inside another vm0 folder... oops! Anyway...

I'd downloaded newer builds of libaacs & libbdplus at some point but not done anything with them so I thought I'd try those instead of the ones from 2020-07-26 that I appear to have been using before. Voila! Both the builds from Roof Tile and hnsteyding seemed to work fine. No more red screen error message.

In the end, I decided to settle with the ones compiled by hnsteyding from May of this year:

TL;DR - Maaaan, I need to be more concise but, basically, try the files from the post I linked to
