That said, this whole bluray situation is EXACTLY the same as the one back in the days with DVD, where people needed to go to great lengths just so they can play their perfectly legally bought DVDs. The previous lib was also incomplete and didn’t had BD+ support at all, something the guys of the new lib are planning to add. The previous bluray library was written in C++ (most mplayer/ffmpeg devs dislike linking to C++ libs) and it has been abandoned for some time now so there really was/is a need for a new one. There are java tools over at doom9 which allow you to extract keys, dump to disk and such and people use them on linux… It’s not an optimal solution right now and that’s why a few guys got together and started a new C-only bluray library so people can play their perfectly legally bought BD discs on Linux. You can play commercial BDs on linux right now, it just involves more work like dumping the content from disc and playing it from there.
