Why is your Blu-ray player connected to the internet?
VLC on a Linux laptop. You think my Blu-ray player has the ability to take screenshots?
Yes, and I assume you wrote this message on your blu-ray player and typed it with your remote
You never heard of a capture card?
Can I introduce you to my friend MakeMKV?
MakeMKV handles my Blu-ray decryption for VLC
Never heard of HDCP?
HDCP is easy to bypass. Almost laughable really, there are tons of "Splitters" and Strippers on the market. I've also seem a few totally legal capture cards that can read it directly.
You can crack anything if you are remotely motivated.
Denuvo has entered the chat
Never say never. Especially since we're only in the beginning of the AI era, AI de-compilation is starting to become feasible, AI cracking probably will too.
Empress called it quits after she went insane. I don't think we're doing to get Denuvo crackers for quite a while....
Did you actually read what I said or did you assume I'd say something specific and then just respond to that without reading...
empress is a man larping as a woman, he's voski in disguise.
Does VLC report this? Kinda seems like the sorta thing that only works on actual players.
It tried to. I use an opnsense firewall which caught it. I copied my logs and submitted the domains to a popular dns blocklist and they’ve already been merged.
Thanks!
VLC can play blurays?
VLC plays everything
I am sometimes surprised to find new things VLC can do, it's awesome.
Not UHD discs. Those don't play on windows.
But for real, does it play blu rays? I was under the impression it did not and you had to get that $100 program.
It does. Last time I did it, though, it required a couple of files to get going. Have a look here for info: http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/
It does but I use makemkv for the Blu-ray decryption
Not out of the box, AFAIK, but there is a plugin. I never got it to work though, because you also need some up-to-date certification file.
Yeah it seems really strange. I know some Bluray players support Internet connectivity but unless they're also a Streaming box I don't see why people would connect them to the internet. Really it seems like the majority of people don't so not sure how useful this feature is.
