Playing Bluray in Ubuntu 12.10

AACS DRM is preventing native playback of Bluray discs on Ubuntu, to reslve this a few steps needs to be followed.

Obtain a copy of a Keys database (KEYDB.CFG)

Created ~/.config/aacs/ folder

Copied KEYDB.cfg (updated 20/04/2012) into this folder

Install the AACS Dynamic library, two methods available

  1. download libaacs.so.0 and copy it into /usr/lib/ or /usr/lib64/ alternatively
  2. Install it from the repository: apt-get install libaacs0

Option 2 was the prefered option for me.

Afterwards open VideoLAN (VLC) and playback your commercial Bluray on your Ubuntu platform.

VideoLAN 2.0.4 was used for the test.
