VLC BluRay Support

Info / Notes

The install.ps1 script attempts a partial automation of candela's documented steps

The script will download the keydb_xxx.zip file at run time, but a previously downloaded zip can be passed as a param instead.

Each step is written as a discreet cmdlet that should allow running any step independently.

Prep

1. Clone repo
2. Place all .7z and .zip archives (*libaacs*.7z, *bdplus_tables*.7z, vm0.zip) archives into repo directory
3. Modify parameters with correct file names (or pass updated file names as params at the command-line)

Execute

1. AS ADMINISTRATOR, run PowerShell.exe (or PowerShell_ise.exe)
2. CD into directory
3. Execute: .\install.ps1 <params>

Parameters

[cmdletbinding()] is declared but, at this time, only -Verbose is supported.

All parameters are optional... If the parameter defaults in the script are correct then no parameters are required and install.ps1 can be run bare.

-Verbose is, however, recommended.

• -LibAacsArchive = String, libaacs 7z archive

• -BDPlusVM0Archive = String, vm0 zip file

• -BDPlusTablesArchive = String, bdplus tables 7z file (~1.5Gb)

• -BDPlusTablesUpdateArchives = String Array, one or more bdplus tables archives passed as an array. Script will sort these by name so, if necessary (not usually) rename ascending to alter processing order.

• -Language = String, three-letter language code

• -PerUser = Switch, changes output targets to User locations. Default is system locations
