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.
Audit fixes (v1.1.0..HEAD regressions in the unlock migration + adaptive patch
speed):
- unlock_bridge ScsiAdapter: libfreemkv's transport returns Err on ANY non-zero
SCSI status (a normal CHECK CONDITION), not only transport faults. The adapter
was collapsing every such Err to { status: 0xFF, sense: None }, which discarded
the parsed sense and defeated the AACS handshake's ILLEGAL_REQUEST wedge guard
(so it kept hammering the drive — hard-rule #2) and inverted its
transport-vs-rejection diagnosis. Now reconstruct status + the 32-byte sense
buffer (sense_key@2, asc@12, ascq@13) and only emit 0xFF/None for a genuine
transport fault.
- Drive::init: a genuine transport fault during the drive-prep unlock means the
bus is dead — propagate it (the v1.1.0 invariant) instead of silently
swallowing it via `if let Ok`. Other errors (no matching unlocker) still fall
through to stock mode. SET CD SPEED max now runs only when the bus is alive.
- disc::patch: on the first read failure in a range, drop to slow recovery speed
and RE-ATTEMPT the same position at slow speed before marking it. A
single-sector range's first failing sector was being marked from a MAX-speed
read it never got to recover.
- docs: lib.rs architecture diagram (handshake → host_certs) and README (stale
pluggable-unlock-seam / register-unlocker / crates.io / docs.rs references).
The docs still documented the old in-tree firmware unlocker: the MediaTek
MT1959 variant table, the READ BUFFER unlock CDB bytes, the profiles.json
schema (unlock_mode/unlock_buf_id/unlock_cdb), the platform/mt1959 driver
listings, and the 'why unlock is needed' handshake mechanism. None of that
lives in libfreemkv anymore — the core is firmware-clean and ships only the
pluggable Unlocker trait + registry (src/unlock.rs).
Rewrite drive-access, architecture, api-design, disc-to-rip, and the README
to describe only the generic Unlocker seam: the trait, register_unlocker, the
registry routing, and the host-cert fallback when no unlocker matches. Point
readers to the freemkv-unlock repo for concrete unlockers. No source change.
Three coherent threads landing for v0.25.11:
1. Libredrive raw-read VID path. When Mt1959::do_unlock sees both the
MMkv active-mode marker at [12..16] and the LbDr mode-ID marker at
[16..20], Drive::is_libredrive_active() returns true and
do_handshake skips the AACS cert dance — VID is retrieved via
READ_DISC_STRUCTURE format 0x80 with AGID=0 and bus encryption is
already off. This unblocks UHD ripping on drives whose leaked host
cert is on the AACS HRL.
- platform/mt1959/mod.rs: detection + active flag + 4 unit tests.
- platform/mod.rs: PlatformDriver::is_libredrive_active trait method.
- drive/mod.rs: Drive::is_libredrive_active accessor.
- disc/encrypt.rs: do_handshake branches on the flag; new
read_volume_id_libredrive helper. Return type widened to
(Option<HandshakeResult>, Option<Error>) so callers see which
specific failure happened.
- disc/mod.rs: scan_with plumbs the new tuple through and preserves
handshake errors as disc.aacs_error.
2. Revert v0.25.9 built-in AACS keys + plugin slot. Single source of
AACS truth: keydb.cfg. The compiled-in DKs/PKs were a slim
convenience that didn't move the hard problem (no v77+ DKs) and
added a maintenance surface. Plugin slot was overlapping
functionality with the main keydb.
- Deleted src/aacs/builtin_keys.rs (4 DKs + 3 PKs).
- Removed KeyDb::with_builtins, load_or_builtins, merge_from,
merge_local_plugin, local_plugin_path, internal dedup helpers.
KeyDb::empty kept for unit-test use.
- KeyDb::load reverts to pre-0.25.9 form: read file or return I/O
error; no fallback.
- disc::encrypt::resolve_encryption keydb_path back to required
(&Path), not Option<&Path>.
- disc::scan_with surfaces KeydbLoad { path: "<no keydb in search
paths>" } sentinel when encrypted + no keydb — same sentinel
autorip's message switch already handles.
- CSS player keys in src/css/auth.rs stay compiled in; they're
1999-era public inputs separate from AACS and pre-date the 0.25.9
additions.
3. Walker fix follow-through (libaacs-parity validate_processing_key,
cvalues 0x07-then-0x05 preference, path-2/3/4 short-circuit on
zero VID) + NIST AES-CMAC KAT + VID MAC round-trip / mutation /
zero-rejection tests.
5 new Error variants for finer-grained AACS failure reporting:
AacsHostCertRejected (E7015), AacsLibredriveUnsupported (E7016),
AacsVidUnavailable (E7017), AacsMkUnavailable (E7018),
AacsVukNotInKeydb (E7019). Lets CLIs/UIs render which piece of the
AACS chain failed instead of always saying "no keys."
Two changes that make AACS 1.0 / DVD self-sufficient:
1. MKB record-type identification bug fix. `mkb_find_mk_dv` was
searching for type 0x10 (which is Type-and-Version, 12 bytes)
when the Verify Media Key Record is actually type 0x81 for
AACS 1.0 or type 0x86 for AACS 2.0/2.1. `mkb_version` had the
inverse bug. PK and DK derivation paths therefore silently
failed on every disc, masking how often the fallback paths
could have worked. Fix searches the correct types; tests added
covering both the 0x81 and 0x86 verify-record forms and the
0x10 version record at offset 8 of the body.
2. Built-in AACS keys + operator plugin slot. Four device keys
(covering MKB v01-v82+) and three processing keys (covering
v63-v68) compiled directly into the library. Combined with the
31 CSS player keys already in css/auth.rs, DVDs and Blu-rays
(AACS 1.0) now decrypt with zero external files. New plugin
path at ~/.config/freemkv/local_keys.cfg (same syntax as
keydb.cfg) layered additively on top of built-ins and main
keydb. `Disc::scan` no longer errors when keydb.cfg is absent;
AACS 2.0 / UHD still surfaces a specific error when the disc
needs keys none of the layers provide.
Public docstrings in project docs + README updated to describe the
three additive layers (built-ins → keydb.cfg → local_keys.cfg).
- MkvTrack::audio emits A_DTS/MA, A_DTS/HR, A_DTS per the DTS family
instead of mislabelling everything as A_DTS. Plex transcoder and
strict hardware decoders reject DTS-HD MA payload under a plain
A_DTS track.
- PgsParser is now stateful: pairs display PCS with the following
empty PCS to compute a duration. Frame::duration_ns + PesFrame::duration_ns
carry it through; MkvMuxer::write_frame gains a final Option<u64>
parameter that emits BlockGroup + BlockDuration when set. Fixes
subtitle bitmaps lingering past their intended end-time.
decrypt::decrypt_sectors now restores chunks when decrypt_unit_full's
TS-sync verification fails, preventing 0.18.1's silent corruption of
MPLS/CLPI navigation files when DecryptingSectorSource decorates the
sweep reader. Fixes E6009 NoStreams on info iso:// for AACS-encrypted
UHDs ripped without --raw.
Disc::sweep progress takes max(snapshot.bytes_good, bytes_done) so
the user-visible counter never regresses below what the producer has
already sent.
The library's public-facing docs were sitting on the 0.17 trait
surface — Disc::copy, pes::Stream, SectorReader, etc. — even though
all in-tree callers migrated in 0.18 rounds 1-3. With 0.18.1 about
to ship, a user copy-pasting the README sample from crates.io would
have hit a compile error.
This commit is purely doc-side:
- README.md: Quick Start rewritten onto Disc::sweep + Disc::patch
with caller-orchestrated multipass; Streams table footnote and
Architecture row reference FrameSource / FrameSink.
- CHANGELOG.md: 0.18.1 entry describing the redesign — primitives,
trait splits, deprecations (kept alive through 0.18.x, deletion
target 0.18.2), throughput numbers.
- docs/{rip-recovery,api-design,architecture,disc-to-rip,
drive-access,udf}.md: every Disc::copy / pes::Stream /
SectorReader reference updated to the 0.18 trait surface.
- FEATURES.md: deleted (8+ versions stale; capabilities live in
README.md and CHANGELOG.md now, matching the workspace-top
FEATURES.md removal in 84acd65).
- examples/iso_dump.rs: verified compiles against 0.18.1.
No code changes.

- Fix unwrap in disc/mod.rs sweep() hot path using pattern matching
- Patch pass excludes Unreadable sectors from work list
- Expose bytes_bad_in_title for accurate UI reporting
- All 256 tests pass, cargo clippy clean with -D warnings
Drive::read is now single-shot. Phase 1/2/3 retries + scsi::reset+reopen
removed (~80 lines). recovery=true bumps timeout to 30s; recovery=false
stays at 1.5s. On any failure returns Err(DiscRead) immediately — caller
(Disc::patch outer loop, DiscStream batch halver) handles retries.
Inline reset+reopen WAS the wedge primitive on the LG BU40N. Per prior
post-mortem, every USB/SCSI reset path tested fails to recover the
wedged Initio bridge — the inline retry was pure cost.
SgIoTransport::reset (Linux) trimmed to kernel SG_IO state flush +
ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL. SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl + STOP/START UNIT escalation
removed. macOS reset removed (no-op). scsi::reset() top-level family
removed (no callers).
EventKind::BytesRead { bytes, total } now actually emitted from
DiscStream::fill_extents after each successful sector read. Was
declared in 0.13.0, never fired. Drives autorip per-device progress
in direct mode.
EventKind::Retry / SectorRecovered no longer emitted (variants kept
for forward compat). SpeedChange still emitted via Drive::set_speed
public path.
Tests: new tests/integration_progress_and_halt.rs (5 tests). 233 unit
tests + 5 integration green.
- README quick-start gains a multi-pass example using the new
Disc::copy + Disc::patch primitives.
- New docs/rip-recovery.md documents the two-stage rip model: mapfile
format (ddrescue-compatible), CopyOptions/PatchOptions surface, the
pass-1/pass-2 algorithm, and the design decisions (why no MODE
SELECT, why ISO intermediate, why ddrescue mapfile).
No code change.
Architecture:
- One stream per format, bidirectional PES (read/write on same type)
- IsoStream merged into DiscStream (one type, any SectorReader)
- Disc::copy() for disc→ISO raw sector dump
- IOStream trait deleted, all byte-level Read/Write removed
- ContentReader/OpenDisc/open_title/open_input/open_output deleted
- CountingStream wrapper for progress tracking
Error codes:
