Description¶

This Ansible role installs and configures all the software required for Blu-ray playback on Arch Linux–based systems. It ensures that VLC and the necessary libraries for Blu-ray disc decryption and playback (libaacs, libbluray) are present, and provides hooks for optional AUR packages.

Overview¶

Uses the community.general.pacman module to install:
- vlc (media player with Blu-ray support)
- libaacs (AACS decryption library)
- libbluray (Blu-ray playback support library)
Contains commented-out tasks for optional AUR packages (aacskeys, libbdplus) you can enable as needed.
Designed for idempotent execution on Arch Linux and derivatives.

Features¶

Optional AUR Packages
