How to play/rip Blu-ray discs on Mplayer command line
For DVD's
mplayer dvd:///_/dvd/mount/dir_For Blu-ray discs
Download keydb.cfg and place it in ~/.config/aacs/
Link to keydb.cfg
mplayer br:///_/bluray/mount/dir_
ie. mplayer br:////dev/sr0 <br>note the 3 forward slashes before the block device, as the disk will not be read otherwise
Ripping:
mplayer br:////dev/sr0 -alang en -dumpstream -dumpfile $movie.mpgEncoding:
mkdir encoded
ffmpeg -i $1 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -b:a 128k -b:v 2000k -vcodec mpeg4 "encoded"/"`basename -s .mpg $1`.mkv"Questions for the Community:
Is it antiquated to want to rip Blu-ray/DVD disks to a server?
Is there a better way to accomplish this, rather than using MakeMKV, which continues to be Beta software, and not Free and Open Source?
