That would be the key issue to research, would be my guess.
Are the particular discs revoked, or is it your playing hardware?
(I don't know truthfully descriptive VLC's error messages are.)
Seeing as you say another disc plays, perhaps do some searches against
the titles of the discs your playing.
I've already spent man days researching this, examining web pages that
the search engine listed, and trying things. That's how I got the URLs
that I put in my posts, and the files that I downloaded and put into the
/etc/xdg/aacs/ directory.
I don't know if the disc or the player got "revoked". I did not
adequately understand those parts of the Arch Linux page.
I don't have bluray hardware on my computers, so I've never tried it.
On the other hand, my bluray playing connected to my TV set gives me no
end of grief. If it can't phone home to mummy every time I want to use
it, it erases all my personal configuration settings (now 4:3 TV shows
on disc come up fat and wide, thanks to a bloody stupid default setting
to please ignoramuses, and audio dynamic range compression is switched
on, amongst a few other damn annoying things), and takes forever
pretending it can't see the disc that it has spun up and focused the
laser on. Sony's authentication server isn't very reliable, so I get
to experience that crap far too often.
I wonder if there still are home bluray players without requiring
internet access available? I couldn't condemn Sony's BDP-S3500
strongly enough, likewise for its virtually identical sister version
without WiFi.
I am thinking of getting a new TV in a year or two, after UHD 4K TVs
with at least a P3 color space have been out long enough to come down in
and level off in price. I'll have to keep in mind what you said here.
I will want to play UHD and regular blu-ray movies on it.
I did not know that blu-ray players required internet access. Are you
sure it's the player, not the TV?
Thank-you, Tim.
