This will ensure you can continue using the software for the next few months (though you will need to enter a new key at some point).įinally, to enable direct Blu-ray playback in VLC, run: sudo ln -s libmmbd.so.0 /usr/lib/Īnd you’re all set - go grab some popcorn! Insert a Blu-ray, open VLC, and go to “Open Disc…” > Blu-ray > Play.
