Every DVD read path — the file-backed mux highway (build_iso_pipeline) and
the live-drive single-pass DiscStream — now resolves the per-VTS CSS title
key through one shared step, css::resolve_dvd_title_key, cracked keylessly in
playback order from the title's own extents. Removes the earlier design that
reused a single scan-time key (meaningless for a per-VTS scheme) and muxed a
detection-miss disc's scrambled sectors as garbage.
- Disc::scan no longer cracks a key up front; it does only the CSS bus-auth
read-unlock, hoisted before the UDF prefetch so scrambled small/menu VOBs
no longer cost a rejected read each (CSS-DVD scan ~25s -> ~6s).
- An uncrackable title hard-fails (E7023) instead of passing ciphertext as
plaintext; --raw skips the crack entirely; a Stop mid-crack surfaces Halted.
- DiscStream::new is now fallible and threads raw + halt.
- Fix a stale codec-parser doc claim (TrueHD/FLAC/MP2/AAC do gate via DropTally).
The prior wording described the round-1 'self-cracking per-sector' approach
that the audit replaced; rewrite it to match what ships (per-title crack in
playback order + scan-key reuse + loud hard-fail on an uncrackable title).
A CSS DVD whose main title was mis-detected as unencrypted (the up-front
crack scanned the largest cell first and starved its budget in that cell's
clear prefix) muxed scrambled sectors as plaintext at exit 0. CSS leaves
the pack/PES header clear, so an un-descrambled sector muxes as a
structurally-valid but corrupt PES packet with zero loss reported.
decrypt_keys_for_title resolves a DVD title's CSS key two ways:
- Fast path: reuse the scan's cracked key when its crack_span covers this
title's VTS (no re-read; on a live drive no second bus-auth).
- Crack: on a detection miss or a different VTS, crack from the title's OWN
extents in a SINGLE scan in natural PLAYBACK ORDER (never largest-first).
One scan = one CSS-locked early-bail, so a locked title is not re-hammered
per cell against a live drive (hard rule #2); the 50k-sector budget is the
same accepted bound the disc-wide scan uses. Cracked -> key; Unencrypted
-> clear; ScrambledUncracked -> hard-fail.
ensure_title_decryptable hard-fails an uncrackable DVD title even when
detection missed, and passes a title that resolved its OWN valid key
regardless of the disc-wide css_error. descramble_region is unchanged from
v1.5.1 (validated-key seed).
Also rename the unlocker report's DVD entry CSS -> DVD. Bump 1.5.2.
Regression since the previous release, which added an MLP major-sync checksum
gate to drop genuinely-undecodable audio frames. The checksum itself was computed
with mismatched byte order: `crc16_mlp` is the correct crc_2D table (poly 0x2D,
MSB-first) but returns its two bytes in the OPPOSITE order to libavutil's
`av_crc`, and `mlp_major_sync_crc_ok` then folded in the pre-trailer word
little-endian while comparing the trailer big-endian. The net result never
matched a real major sync, so EVERY major sync was judged corrupt. That armed the
drop-forward on the first AU and, since no major sync ever validated to clear it,
collateral-dropped every following AU forever — the entire TrueHD track was
silently dropped. Its AUs then flushed only at mux end, so the track's blocks
landed physically after all the video: a decoder reading video+TrueHD had to
buffer the whole title to reach the first audio block and spiralled into an
unbounded memory runaway ("decoder ran out of memory"). Every TrueHD title
produced after the gate landed was affected; a title from the release before it
is clean. (The header-size parse — a frequent suspect for extended 7.1/Atmos
headers — is NOT the bug; it already matches ffmpeg's `mlp_get_major_sync_size`
byte-for-byte.)
Fix: compute the checksum exactly as ffmpeg's `ff_mlp_checksum16` —
`crc16_mlp(body).swap_bytes() ^ AV_RL16(word) == AV_RL16(trailer)`. Cross-verified
byte-exact against two real discs (a 7.1/Atmos title and a 5.1 title, independent
32-byte headers both validate). With the checksum correct, major syncs validate
and the drop-forward corruption protection works as intended.
Defence in depth: a major-sync checksum that STILL can't be validated (a genuinely
corrupt or as-yet-unparsed header) no longer arms the drop-forward until we hold a
validated baseline (`num_substreams` from a prior clean major sync) — so a single
bad header can never again silently drop an entire track.
Tests: the `finalize_major_sync` fixture now builds the checksum the corrected way;
a synthetic checksum-failed head major sync is kept, not dropped; the existing
baseline-then-corrupt drop-forward tests still pass. Verified end to end against a
real disc: the TrueHD track demuxes to a full, cleanly-decodable 48 kHz 8-channel
stream, interleaved with the video, instead of 0 bytes.
The HD DVD Title Key File (VTKF*.AACS) stores 64 title-key entries of 36 bytes
each — 1-byte BIFO + 3 reserved + 16-byte encrypted key + 16-byte binding MAC —
per AACS "HD DVD and DVD Pre-recorded Book" Table 3-8, confirmed byte-exact
against real discs (Freedom VTKF090, Dukes VTKF000: every 36-byte slot has
BIFO=0x80, a clean key, and a 0xFF binding MAC).
The parser used a 32-byte stride (a 12-byte pad in place of the 16-byte binding
MAC) with flag-based termination. That aligns entry #1 (key at offset 132, where
both strides agree) but drifts +4 bytes per entry after it and never terminates
(the previous entry's 0xFF MAC reads as a set present-flag), so it recovered a
correct key only for single-CPS-unit discs and garbage for CPS unit >=2. Every
multi-title HD DVD (Freedom, Harry Potter) was affected.
Fix: 36-byte stride, iterate the fixed 64 slots, take slots whose BIFO AV_FLG
(bit 7) is set, key at offset 4, slot index = CPS unit (skip empty slots rather
than terminate so a gap can't renumber later keys), and never read the trailing
16-byte TKF MAC as a key. Tests rebuilt on the real layout, including a full
64-entry file.
Also correct the VTKF-selection TODO in mod.rs: the AACS HD DVD Book gives the
selector explicitly (match the TKF's PLAYLIST_NAME field to the active
playlist), not the "validate against an encrypted unit" placeholder.
Reconciled against the new HD DVD reference (freemkv.org/docs/hddvd/); the spec
source is archived in freemkv-private/spec/.
The HD DVD AACS directory name and title-key filename are chosen by the
authoring house, but the resolver hardcoded a single spelling
(/ANY!/VTKF000.AACS, /ANY!/MKBROM.AACS, /ANY!/CONTENT_CERT.AACS). Real discs
diverge: Freedom (Memory-Tech) names its AACS dir AAC! and ships VTKF090.AACS
+ VTKF100.AACS; Harry Potter carries VTKF000/001/002/099. On such a disc the
hardcoded path finds nothing, so no MKB/title-key/cert is read and decryption
silently can't engage.
Replace the fixed HD DVD path constants with structural discovery:
- find_hddvd_aacs_dir() locates the AACS dir as the root child dir ending in
'!' that contains MKBROM.AACS (so the ..._BAK mirror is skipped; the dozens
of decoy advanced-content '!' dirs are excluded by the MKBROM.AACS guard).
- role_paths(udf, role) builds the ordered candidate list per role: the static
BD/UHD /AACS/ paths first, then the discovered HD DVD files — MKBROM.AACS,
CONTENT_CERT.AACS, and every VTKF*.AACS (sorted), not just VTKF000.
- read_first() is now generic over &str / String so it takes the Vec<String>.
BD/UHD unaffected (no '!' dir → discovery returns None, list is the /AACS/
constants exactly as before). Verified on real Freedom (AAC!/VTKF090+100) and
Dukes (ANY!/VTKF000) ISOs; unit tests cover both shapes.
Open item (TODO(hddvd-encrypted)): when a disc has multiple VTKF variants the
correct one must be chosen by validating its VUK-derived key against a real
encrypted unit rather than first-that-reads. Blocked on obtaining a genuinely
encrypted HD DVD image — all HD DVD ISOs on hand are already-decrypted rips.
Parse the DTS core header (SFREQ/AMODE/RATE/LFF/NBLKS/FSIZE) → a ddts box
(sample rate, channel layout mask, core size, computed bitrate, LFE);
whole access units (core + DTS-HD extension substreams) pass through, so
an HD decoder finds the extension. dtsh when an extension sync follows the
core, else dtsc. Fit oracle now carries DTS / DTS-HD MA / DTS-HD HR.
Validated on 300 (real DTS-HD MA 7.1): freemkv's mp4 DTS track is
byte-identical to ffmpeg -c copy under ffprobe (dts / 48000 / 8ch / 7.1)
and decodes clean (exit 0). Channel layout correct.
Completes the per-track-class trio with audio:// / sub://. video:// is
the demux path with a TrackKind::Video kind filter — each video track to
its own native elementary stream (.hevc/.h264/.vc1/.m2v/.obu), no audio
or subtitles. Reuses the existing kind_filter machinery and extension
map; scheme/parse/output/write-only-guard arms added symmetrically.
FMTS (AACS 2.1) now decodes per (LBA, phase): Phase enum + AacsKeyMap::
from_ranges_phased, decrypt only the variant's parity half. resolve_fmts_key_map
does a 2-phase index-1 anchor then per-index phase probe, and sizes the forensic
set to whatever the source returns (no hardcoded 32). KeyFetch is now two explicit
operations (unit_keys / fmts_indexes) and KeySource splits get_uk into
get_unit_keys + get_fmts_indexes. BYPASS_FMTS_KEY gate removed (first-class format).
Teed up for 1.4.5. Local WIP baseline.
decrypt:
- decrypt_sectors is now a pure decrypt (apply key, leave plaintext, report
unverified bytes); TS-structure is a separate primitive (is_clean_ts/ps) used
only for key selection and read-verify. The mux passes decrypted bytes through
(the demuxer drops non-conforming packets), ending the NULL-TS conceal loop and
the per-unit key-server refetch storm. Key-proof floor replaces the 75%
supermajority.
recovery:
- Removed the post-read decrypt-verify gate (verify.rs) that mis-aligned the
disc-absolute unit grid against clip-anchored AACS units and false-failed good
clips (e.g. Dunkirk's orphan-CPS clip). Bad sectors are marked by physical read
result; decryptability is proven at scan + mux time.
HD DVD (first-class AACS):
- Role-based candidate-list file sourcing so an HD DVD's /ANY!/ files
(MKBROM.AACS, VTKF000.AACS, CONTENT_CERT.AACS) are found with no disc-type
branch. parse_vtkf parses VTKF000.AACS into the same UnitKeyFile as a BD
Unit_Key_RO.inf, so the shared VUK unwrap applies unchanged. set_unit_base
clip-anchoring. Two decrypt-axis assumptions remain UNVERIFIED-HDDVD-DECRYPT
(no encrypted disc to test).
mux:
- MVC (Blu-ray 3D) track signals unified into one MVCDecoderConfigurationRecord;
release-safe track_vint (3-byte VINT) and pid_index (i32) guards.
hardening:
- Container-aware is_clean / encryption detection; bytes_bad_in_title fail-safe
on a corrupt mapfile; CSS crack gated on DiscFormat::Dvd (HD DVD excluded);
non-vacuous CSS tests; patch NOT_READY/HARDWARE/ILLEGAL_REQUEST/ABORTED
sense-path tests.
decrypt_sectors is now a pure decrypt — apply the CPS unit key, leave the
plaintext, report how many bytes did not reach clean TS ("unverified"). It
never restores ciphertext, nulls, or re-fetches. "Did a key produce clean TS?"
is a key-selection / read-verify signal, not the verdict "did we decrypt?": a
correct key can decrypt a bad-encoded region, and broken TS is a muxer concern
(the demuxer drops the packet and resyncs).
Callers own the policy:
- mux (read > decrypt > mux): pass the decrypted bytes to the muxer, whatever
they are; fail loud only on a genuine can't-decrypt (no key / misaligned).
- sweep/patch (reading from a disc): an unverified unit is a bad read — recover
a fresh key and retry, or fail loud so disc-recovery re-reads it.
Removes three duplicated decisions — the decrypt-time ciphertext restore, the
mux NULL-TS conceal loop, and the per-unit key-server refetch — plus the dead
aacs_unit_still_ciphertext predicate. Key-fetch recovery now samples the on-disc
ciphertext explicitly (a pure decrypt leaves the buffer plaintext) and lives
only on the rip/verify path, never the mux.
Fixes the 30-90s/region mux stalls and key-server storm on bad-encoded UHD runs
that 1.4.1 left behind (it relaxed the gate but not the surrounding machinery).
AACS content decryption rejected a whole 6144-byte aligned unit unless
EVERY content packet was conformant MPEG-TS. One authored-bad packet (a
pressing/encoding defect or an AACS 2.1 forensic-variant frame) made the
mux conceal the entire unit as NULL TS — destroying up to 31/32 good
packets and tallying them as loss, surfacing as false "corruption" on
otherwise-clean discs (observed across two UHD titles).
decrypt_unit now asks only "did a key OPEN this unit?" — a padding-aware
>=75% supermajority of content packets restoring their 0x47 sync, a gate
no wrong key can reach (uniform-AES noise floor) yet one that tolerates a
minority of authored-bad packets. Opened units pass through VERBATIM; a
non-conforming packet is left for the demuxer to drop on sync-loss and
resync past. TS-sync conformance is a muxer concern, never a decryption
verdict. The post-read verify/sweep gate now shares the same primitive so
it can never disagree with the mux decrypt.
Also unify the MVC (Blu-ray 3D) track signals: the mvcC CodecPrivate
extension, the BlockAdditionMapping, and each per-frame BlockAdditional
all derive from one MVCDecoderConfigurationRecord built once per track, so
a malformed dependent-view parameter set can no longer orphan a BlockAddID.
Add UnitKey.variant_number (0 = ordinary, 1..32 = forensic variant) with new/variant constructors, and aacs::variant_select — resolve a disc's single variant and classify each aligned unit (default / variant / drop foreign / conceal keyless). Correct IndividualSegment.tbl: the per-record field is the variant (cycles 1..32 on a retail disc), not a segment number — Segment.number -> Segment.variant.
Relicensed from AGPL-3.0 to MIT, effective 1.3.1 (<=1.3.0 remain AGPL). The CSS
content cipher and Stevenson title-key attack are attributed to their published
cryptanalysis (not libdvdcss); all libaacs/libbluray/libdvdread/libdvdnav name
references were dropped from comments while keeping the standard format/spec
descriptions. Also bumps to 1.3.1.
Bump to 1.3.0 and add the 1.3.0 changelog entry (FMTS/HD-DVD formats, AACS 2.1 variant chain, recovery seam, aacs module split, main-title-by-size, and the fixes since v1.2.2). Not tagged or pushed.
The bus-key gate only credited the cert handshake's read_data_key as proof
bus encryption was removed. A firmware unlocker removes it AT THE DRIVE
(serves clear content) and yields no read_data_key — so a SUCCESSFUL
firmware unlock (VID present, read_data_key None) tripped the gate and
blocked ALL key resolution, including the online source. That was the
root cause of live UHD discs reporting "missing keys" after an unlock.
Now a single predicate answers "is bus encryption gone?": never-had-it ||
file/ISO || firmware-unlocked || cert-bus-key. The gate is just
`if !bus_encryption_removed { error }` — no enumerated cases. HandshakeResult
gains `drive_unlocked`, and the read_data_key failure reason is captured so
the warn says WHY the bus key is missing.
Also: reword the first hardware-sense escalation as "fast-fail escalation"
(it is often transient — the drive recovers), reserving "wedge" for a
persistent run; and scrub the product name from core comments (it belongs
only in the unlocker crate).
Per the release decision: ship the AACS-version-stride API changes under
the 1.2.0 minor bump, with an explicit Breaking section (DiscInputs new
field, DiscInputsCtx::new arity, read_aacs_inputs* 3-tuple return).
- read_aacs_inputs* now returns the AACS major version; DiscInputs carries it,
and DiscInputsCtx parses Unit_Key_RO.inf at the disc's own stride (fixes the
hardcoded-V20 read-time fetch for V10 discs). One source of truth, no version
argument to drift.
- Disc::inputs() is the single complete AACS-input source (inf/MKB/VID/hash/
version); the out-of-band duplicate readers go away.
- Named constants for AACS file paths (aacs::PATH_*) and the AACS majors
(aacs::AACS_MAJOR_*, AacsVersion::major/from_major) replace magic strings/ints.
- push_ranges saturating (corrupt-disc panic guard).
- decrypt_unit: padding-aware acceptance — recover real video at content-
fragment tails (the phantom mux-loss class) without weakening wrong-key
rejection (a full content unit still needs all 32 TS syncs).
- scan: read the MKB via the bounded read_mkb_content so Disc::inputs()
carries it. Online key resolution was shipping mkb=0 (a full read of the
~128 MiB MKB_RO allocation fails) → the decode service 404'd.
- resolve_vid_only: surface an MKB read error instead of silently emptying.
- fetch: a per-sample dry-set replaces the global fetch_spent latch, so a
second CPS unit's key can still be fetched after the first came back empty.
- verify::push_ranges: saturating arithmetic (corrupt-disc panic guard).
- Tests for all of the above.
keydb I/O moves out of libfreemkv into freemkv-keysources
(KeydbSource::save / ::update). Delete src/keydb.rs entirely (save,
http_get, default_path, write_atomic, UpdateResult) and drop `pub mod
keydb;` — http_get had no real callers. The shared Keydb* Error variants
stay in error.rs (keysources raises them; the every-error-has-a-code
contract depends on them). flate2 is no longer used here, so drop it
from Cargo.toml (zip stays for labels/jar.rs).
CHANGELOG: note the keydb-I/O move; reword the rc.5.2
DefaultDecodedFieldDuration entry to state only the action taken (the
revert) rather than an unverified Windows-fps outcome.
