My fault, this beta was to test out subclass 0x06 so inmoss something in the gui, the final version will be fixed

This version should open bluray that dont need bus encryption

Post automatically merged: Sep 24, 2025

For bus decryption is a big problem since mbedtls cant load a custom elliptic curve , needed for bus challange. There is a workaround for that on user side.
If the disc is played once on win/linux , and the this needs bus encryption it will save out read key (16byte) for future cache usage, with this file in the switch it bypass the bus encryption and decodes the disc flawless

this is a workaround until i break the bus woth mbedtls

nx-laserplayer 0.0.2 beta
https://mega.nz/file/O5kw2DxL#UUJ37h9qwyPzmE5dpDnC-22kr4mP7gqoEuGgPyZA7uw

Beta version for testing subclass 0x06

Bluray support is limited since bus encryption is not ready ,it open 3/4 of bluray i tried

to make it work

put it into /switch/nx-laserplayer/
put the famous key database into this folder also (the same you used for vlc/kodi)
it should play you bluray (not ultra)

it have a MASSIVE output on console for debug if used with nxlink -s

let me know!

on my side, nothing works (with my blu-ray drive)

Blu-ray
mount : OK
play : (long) black screen, then atmosphere crashes

DVD
mount : crashes atmosphere almost instantly




with my old DVD drive, I was able to mount and read encrypted DVD.

 

[proconsule54]

Ok, i will update the beta, sorry for the issue

 

[voddy]

tried it with my Bluray drive (sub0x06)
it recognizes my Bluray movie (mount successful - FS Type UDF 2.50 Mount udf0)
but it crashed to atmosphere when I try to play it.

Blu Ray MENU works from time to time - but everything else just crashes (I tried around 10 blurays)
Sometime it is reading a long time but still crashes.
Sadly I don't have too many blurays to test

 

[proconsule54]

Thanks a lot for the test!

 

[voddy]

trying out dvds at the moment
Decryption is between 3 and 120 seconds.
they work well

 

[proconsule54]

commercial bluray decryption NEED a file for key, that except for cfg have to be CAPS! (i cant say more than that here)

@voddy PM me for more info on this (you have PM blocked)

Very good , got also bus_encryption so more supported Bluray disc (i think all HD will be supported)

 

[proconsule54]

After lot of pain, 100000000 switch crash, frustration on making aacs elliptic curve on mbedtls, i made it. A special hidden ioctl file that acts as scsi layer for commands between lib and app, libaacs can make bus encryption e so all hd titles should work!
A beta version will follow soon!

Thanks a lot to @voddy and @Badablek for logs and tests!

beta2

should work on all h264 hd bluray! (SHOULD)

i strongly advice to use nxlink with -s to see what is happening (and help me with debug)

Beta3

 

[voddy]

Hope the log helps. Didnt know about nxlink before.

 

[proconsule54]

for anyone who want to get a bluray drive i use this one "techPulse120 USB3.0" internal is seen as

HL-DT-ST

BD-RE BU40N

1.00

And obviously since is the drive i use for devel is 100% supported and compatible

 

[Earthshine]

I mean. Cool. But don't people have 1,001 other superior and easier ways to watch movies?

 

[proconsule54]

Easier for sure, superior i doubt, i a 37 gb h264 is far better then a 4gb rip

I was referring to superior and easier methods of playing files/discs than on a Switch. I wasn't referring to quality. I always dl 20-60+ GB files when it comes to movies as I can NOT stand compression artifacting on low quality rips.

Sorry i misunderstood, you are right. Is just a “it can be done” project. It is fun for me and some users will benefit of that

I love coding, and do unusual things with hw/sw

I agree. It is pretty cool that this can be done. Thank you for your work and contribution.

 

[proconsule54]

For example this project need libaacs, that works ONLY with gcrypt. I ported all the libascs with the crypto using mbedtls(far more porable) maybe someone else will benefit of this port

 

[mhh996378373]

nice thank

 

[proconsule54]

got another bluray drive.


bNumEndpoints : 0x02 (2 Endpoints)
bInterfaceClass : 0x08 (Mass Storage)
bInterfaceSubClass : 0x06 (SCSI transparent command set)
bInterfaceProtocol : 0x50 (Bulk-Only Transport)

luckly is a 0x06 subclass so i can support better drives that are problematic.

 

[voddy]

Good Luck and thanks for all your Hard work

 

[proconsule54]

working hard for stable release.

Should support more bluray drive (thanks to libusbdvd update) also with subclass 0x06

Bluray support, full libaacs porting (also with bus encryption) , support for rdk cache files (for drives with certificate revoked) should support all HD bluray with mkb < 72. Bluray ultra (4k) are not playable right now but i want to dig on hidden libredrive commands (a man in the middle for usb/scsi commands) for support it in some way!

Stay tuned for this useless/silly but funny project
