The end result is that you can now watch your BD movies almost as simply as a regular video player without the need to go through the process of ripping them into an MKV file first, or chewing up loads of drive space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now before you get all excited, this is a work in progress and you are ultimately limited to the decryption keys that have been discovered so far. You have no better ability to watch BD titles than you have with doing it all manually with DumpHD<\/em> and AACSKeys<\/em>. In fact, lxbdplayer<\/em> already falls over in one area (for now), and that is it has no ability to process BD+ protected discs. Attempting to watch such movies will show a partially or fully corrupted video stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I tried using lxbdplayer<\/em> with several of my BD titles under Ubuntu 10.04, and found that it played all my older titles pretty much perfectly. It\u2019s only newer titles, especially those featuring BD+ protection that are problematic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, this tool will only let you play older BD titles easily, but no doubt as DumpHD<\/em> and AACSKeys<\/em> progress in development, we will see those improvements filter down to lxbdplayer<\/em>. I should also point out that lxbdplayer<\/em> does not actually play the disc<\/em> as such \u2013 it pulls out the titles<\/em> available on the disc and allows you to play them by choosing them from a menu. It will not actually allow you to play the menu interfaces provided on the disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your BD optical drive will also need to have been hacked with custom firmware to ignore the Player certificate, or use an imported BD drive that already ignores the Player certificates, or AACSKeys<\/em> will not be able to retrieve the decryption key to decrypt the disc with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway, to use lxbdplayer<\/em>, you will need to download the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The player showing the video itself is simply MPlayer<\/em>, and all its standard controls apply here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pat yourself on the back \u2013 and enjoy your movies. $ sudo dpkg -i lxbdplayer_0.2.1_all.deb lxbdaacs_0.2.1_all.deb makemkv_1.5.5b_amd64.deb libshowkeys_v1.5.5_amd64.deb<\/code>
