Playback of BluRay disks?

David Chisnall · Dec 14, 2015

Has anyone managed to play BluRay disks with FreeBSD? I have a BluRay drive and tried building the multimedia/vlc port with libbluray support enabled, but even with the KEYDB.cfg file from the vlc-bluray site installed I get an unhelpful error message. Has anyone ever managed to make this work (and, if so, how)? The machine I'm using has loads of spare disk space, so ripping prior to playback would be fine, but the only machine that I own that has a BluRay drive has only FreeBSD installed so solutions that involve other operating systems won't help me.

Did you try choosing the LGPL and Non-Free options in multimedia/ffmpeg? That's what I did to get dvd's to work, and it seems it would be a requirement for bluray's too. There's an option for libbluray in ffmpeg and multimedia/vlc-qt4 too. I realize you use the newer version of vlc with qt5, but the one with qt4 is the one I use.

I just bought a blu-ray drive, but haven't tried that part yet. I'll try it soon enough.

You may try to play blue-ray disc only by FreeBSD 11-Current.

Did any of you get to watch BluRay on freebsd? i tried to recompile ffmpeg and vlc but no luck, any sugestions?

Did you set nonfree and gpl in ffmpeg?

rigoletto@ · Mar 15, 2018

I do not have a bluray drive but as already pointed out multimedia/ffmpeg do have the LIBBLURAY OFF by default.

Also, multimedia/mpv may be worthy to try instead of multimedia/vlc.

EDIT: LoL this is a late 2015 thread.

cellini · Mar 15, 2018

Yea i know it is an old thread, but could not find any one that actually had gotten bluray to work,

i am pretty shure my multimedia/ffmpeg make config is right but pasting it here any how

I am also setting up a build for multimedia/mpv to check that out.

i tried running mpv /dev/cd0 with the folloving result

Code:

anders@kontorbsd:~ % mpv /dev/cd0
Playing: /dev/cd0
Empty playlist!

That should be more like mpv bd:// for Blu-ray (see mpv(1)). Though if it really works I don't know.

cellini · Mar 15, 2018

no sucsess so tried going back to poudriere deleted my /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/current-options/ folder and made a /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/current-make.conf insted containing

Code:

It's clear that Blu-ray support is compiled in or we wouldn't see [bd] in the output. But mpv bd:///dev/cd0 is wrong and should be mpv bd:////dev/cd0 (with an additional /). However just not specifying /dev/cd0 at all should work too. Have you tried with just mpv bd:// as I suggested above?

Ah sorry I misunderstood you, I will test that on Monday and see if that makes any difference, I will keep you updated

Haven't tried in a while, so I did again.

Holy cow!!!

vlc-qt4 played a commercial bluray for me.

Note: The playback quality was not subjectively great. That could be interlacing, post processing, etc, not tweaked.
