not working : /

made a "aacs" folder under %appdata%

put the key in it

installed 2.1.5? VLC

went to the VLC directory and dropped the "libaacs.whatever" in there.

went to VLC>menu>open disk>selected bluray> error'd

"Blu-ray error:
This Blu-ray Disc needs a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///D:/'. Check the log for details."

So is the aacs folder directly under appdata, or should it be in the roaming folder?

other suggestions? different version of VLC maybe?
 
VLC won't play protected Blu-rays. Either you can play the disc on blu-ray player or try to backup it as unprotected BDMV or MKV. MakeMKV, Handbrake, Bytecopy all work well.
