I can read my own BD with VLC, but have no commercial one to try

I don't have a "commercial" Bd either.
So, which vlc are you using- the one from openSUSE or one which you downloaded directly from Videolan and installed (possibly using the 1-clik install)?
I am using the one from oS and it is version 2.1.2 Rincewind (whatever 'Rincewind' is) in 13.1 (I haven't looked at what I have in 12.3 but I do know that that one came from Videolan).
The VLC from openSUSE? or Packman? Have you added the vlc-codecs? Do you need libdvdcss? Hi,
After re-reading the thread, one thing puzzles me... afaicr, BD is supposed to be using a stronger encryption than the one used on DVD's. If that is really true, one should not be able to pay commercial BD's with only libdvdcss.
Or is that just a bunch of FUD spread by "uncle Walt" & Sony ... ?
No, Blu-ray DVD use AACS DRM but then, in 2012, another 'layer' was added called BD+ after AACS was 'cracked'. BD+ requires your player to have access to the internet (I think) to be able to read a database containing the BD+ code applicable to the Bd disc you are trying to play.
