# Blu-Ray Playback
# Blu-ray Playback

No official Blu-Ray player software exists for Linux, but open-source libraries we include allow Kodi \(on LibreELEC\) to play most Blu-Ray discs once `/storage/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg` has been populated with a flat-file database of known encryption keys and certificates. To avoid legal issues with circumvention of the DMCA laws in the USA we cannot pre-populate the file with a key database, so you must install this yourself.

Connect to your LibreELEC device via SSH, then run the following command:

```text
mkdir -p /storage/.config/aacs
curl -k https://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/files/KEYDB.cfg -o /storage/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg
curl -kv -L http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/fv_download.php?reduced -o /storage/.config/aacs/keydb.zip
unzip /storage/.config/aacs/keydb.zip -d /storage/.config/aacs/ && mv /storage/.config/aacs/keydb.cfg /storage/.config/aacs/KEYDB.cfg && rm /storage/.config/aacs/keydb.zip
```

The file contains PK, HC and VUK data required for attempting disc decryption with more than 24,000 titles. Re-running the `curl` command periodically will refresh the `KEYDB.cfg` file and add support for new Blu-Ray discs.
