Hi Everyone, As I have been working on looking into adding Blu-Ray support per my ticket, I am having some issues. Most blu-rays are encrypted using AACS format. There are several issues with the keys as newer Blu-Rays can revoke the key on the drive, as well as the ones that you get. The user will have to grab AACS keys from a website. This stuff is very confusing in how it works.
I propose that we add the libraries and such, but refer them to the Arch Wiki for adding AACS and BDPlus keys, as we *might* run into legal issues if we tell them directly where to get the keys from. The Arch Wiki page that we could send them to is this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Blu-ray One program that we can drop into the book to do AACS keys is "aacskeys". I do not necessarily feel comfortable with putting that in there as the license is Custom. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aacskeys/ That would be package number 4 to add to the book if we decide to do it that way. Currently it looks as though MPlayer, VLC, and Xine can do Blu-Ray playback. Note that for at least VLC, FFMPEG will have to be built with libbluray support. Now that I have my Blu-Ray drive, I will add the addition of the packages into my to-do list (Hopefully before our release). Dependency wise: libaacs: (Required): libgcrypt libbdplus: (Required): libaacs libbluray: (Required) for BD-J: OpenJDK (Required) for BD-J: Apache-ant (Required): fontconfig (Required): freetype (Required): libxml2 (Runtime): libaacs libbdplus (If we add this) aacskeys: openssl Douglas R.
