Psst - if you’re on Windows and macOS you need to check a “VLC integration” option in MakeMKV’s Preferences section, but this isn’t required on Linux.I have the feeling that the problem I'm having has an 'obvious' source but I can't figure it out. ![]() 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!
