About:
libbluray is an open-source library designed to provide Blu-Ray disc playback support for media players. It handles navigation through the complex BD-J menu system and parses AACS/BD+ encrypted content when available. This library serves as the core playback engine for applications like VLC and Kodi to enable full Blu-Ray functionality.
Key Features:
  • BD-J (Blu-Ray Java) menu navigation support
  • AACS and BD+ decryption support via external libraries
  • HDMV (High Definition Movie Mode) menu rendering
  • Subtitle and audio stream parsing
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Integrating Blu-Ray playback into media center applications
  • Developing custom media players with disc support
  • Parsing and extracting content from Blu-Ray disc structures
Alternatives:
  • MakeMKV – MakeMKV is a proprietary tool focused on ripping discs to MKV format, while libbluray is a library for real-time playback
  • FFmpeg – FFmpeg can decode Blu-Ray streams but lacks BD-J menu navigation capabilities that libbluray provides
