Hi All,

So, after seeing some questions regarding Bluray playback on DEX systems, I thought I'd start this thread to throw around ideas etc.

Anyway, we know DEX cannot play Bluray movies because the files are non existant in DEX firmware along with files such as vsh.self not having the functions in them (or disabled?) to allow it.

So, even if you resigned all the necessary files needed, you would still need to patch various system files (such as vsh.self etc) to enable playback.

So, any ideas on how to achieve playback on a DEX?

As far as I am aware, the drivefix in the first CEX/DEX leak only resets the drive back to default/factory (i.e, rewrites the HRL and DRL back to default values), it does NOT enable playback on a DEX unit.

If that is not true and you have tested it, please confirm it does in fact allow Bluray playback.

The other issue is newer AACS keys. The existing 3.55 keys are now redundant and newer Bluray will not play even on CEX 3.55.

This alone is another completely new challenge. To get the newer AACS keys, you would have to decrypt the relevant 4.21 files and then resign for 3.55 and quite possibly the Bluray drive firmware may have to be updated at the same time.

Please note:
I am NOT a Dev and don't have the faintest idea on how to do this!
