Details

When you attempt to play BluRays using VLC Media player, this error may occur:

Simply put, the default build of VLC does not have two components, the AACS Library and the encryption keys for the playback of Blu-Rays.

This application is a simple CLI application built to do the following:

  • Download VLC using Winget
  • Download the AACS Library and Keys
  • Place Keys and AACS library in the correct Place

The instructions are provided by this bluray guide by whoknowsmyname.

I hope to also build versions that work on MacOS and Linux.

Motivation

I bought a few blurays of Makoto Shinkai's Movies, and was quite sad I couldn't play them, so I made something to help with that.
