One vendor's playlists.xml carries a per-subtitle-slot cell that looks
like a boolean, and it was parsed as one: value 1 meant forced, anything
else meant not forced. Across every image in the corpus that uses this
format the cell takes four values, and 1 is not the forced one.
Decoding three of those discs and counting every PGS display set:
* 1 marks a FULL dialogue track that additionally contains some
forced-narrative signs. All nine cells bearing it on one disc are
full tracks of 949-1411 display sets; all seven on another are full
tracks of 1602-1651. Neither disc has a small track among them.
* 2 and 3 mark a DEDICATED forced-narrative track, in its own trailing
stream slot, duplicating a language that already holds a full track.
The two 2 slots measured are 15 and 10 display sets with every one
flagged forced; the four 3 slots are 7, 14, 23 and 59 against
1216-2655 on the tracks they duplicate.
So the old reading was wrong in both directions — it flagged full
dialogue tracks forced, which is how one language came to present as two
identical full subtitle tracks with one of them marked forced, and it
threw away the cells naming the real forced tracks.
Content could not have corrected this afterwards. Clearing a wrong
forced label needs a disc whose authoring sets forced_on_flag, and on
the measured disc carrying four genuine forced tracks not one display
set anywhere sets it — there, the vendor cell is the only evidence there
is. The classification is now explicit: only a dedicated forced slot
earns the flag, an unrecognised value never does, and the
contains-forced-signs value is dropped rather than weakened into a
forced label, since a wrong forced flag on a full dialogue track is the
user-visible defect while a missing hint costs nothing.
Four of the crate's own tests had been asserting the boolean reading;
their subject was positional alignment, so they keep it and now use a
real forced value. The other two parsers that emit a forced qualifier
from vendor metadata were audited and are structurally immune — in both,
the forced marker names a slot of its own rather than hanging off a full
track's entry, so the failure has no encoding there — and each is now
pinned by a test saying so.
A forced verdict is an absence claim, and a sampled run sees a fraction
of a track. Measured on real discs: tracks exist that flag about a
quarter of their display sets and leave the rest unflagged, so a sample
that catches one flagged set and nothing else promotes a full dialogue
track to forced -- which players then force on screen. A sampled run now
needs two display sets; a run that read every extent end to end has no
unread gap and may still promote off one.
Fifteen references across six files named the discs a defect was first
seen on. The parser leak found earlier was not an isolated slip — the
same habit runs through the mux comments, the changelog and the AACS
content verdict, where a title name was standing in for the shape of
the problem.
Every one is replaced with the property that actually mattered: a
multi-clip title, a UHD Dolby Vision profile 7 dual-layer stream, a
disc carrying an authored-bad TS packet. The comments are more useful
for it — the reader needs to recognise the shape on a disc they have,
not the one we happened to have.
`SEG_MainFeature` stays: the parser matches on that literal, so it is
a format token rather than a title.
The pixelogic walk finds the feature playlist's section by name and ends
it at the next `SEG_`/`SF_`/`FPL_` marker. Those markers are section
NAMES, and a project's trailing sections — the per-language notice,
disclaimer and dub-credit cards — carry none. On 8 of the 11
affected-format discs in the corpus the feature playlist is the last
NAMED section in the blob, so the terminator never fires and the walk
consumes the whole tail of the file as more of the feature's stream
list.
The card names are `{lang3}_{card}`, which passes `is_stream_token`, so
each one advances an STN counter, and a card whose name collides with a
catalogued component emits a label outright. Measured on the worst disc:
95 entries past the end of a 9-audio/21-PG list, five phantom audio
labels at STN 10-14 from `*_AC` notice cards (`AC` reads as the AC-3
codec), and 94 uncatalogued-component occurrences — which also took the
parse from High to Medium confidence and fired the vocabulary-gap
warning on four components that are deliberately not catalogued. A
second disc fabricated one subtitle label from a token in a following
playlist section named `FP_SingAlong`, which `FPL_` does not match.
What every section has, named or not, is a stream list that opens with
its video slots. So a `Video Stream N` entry repeating one this section
already listed is the first entry of the NEXT section, and ends this
one. Distinct video entries are kept, since a section may legitimately
list a secondary video stream; the memo of them is bounded at the BD STN
table's ceiling so disc bytes cannot grow it.
Replaying all 11 blobs through `assign_labels` before and after: the two
discs above lose exactly their phantom labels (11→6 and 5→4), the other
nine are byte-identical.
One residue is pinned rather than papered over: a card's name precedes
its own section's video slot, so a forward-only walk can still count the
FIRST card after the last real slot. It sits at the tail of a list
nothing follows in, so it can renumber nothing — at worst it costs a
parse its High confidence.
No other parser in src/labels/ walks a flat entry sequence with a
terminator set; the rest scope each stream to a structural range or read
its number off the entry itself. paramount and criterion gain immunity
pins for the boundary property specifically: a stream list cannot run
into the next element's, and a missing element boundary shortens the
list rather than extending it.
Two comments identified the disc the STN-numbering bug was found on by its
vendor project name. The reproduction does not need it: what matters is the
SHAPE of the token list — placeholder slots, region-only tokens, an
uncatalogued component — not which release happened to exhibit it. Both now
describe the shape.
The remaining `SEG_MainFeature` references stay. That is a vendor section name
the parser matches on at pixelogic.rs:88, not a disc identifier — it is the
format's vocabulary, like `FPL_` or the `eng_MLP_` stream tokens beside it, and
removing it would break the parser.
Also drops the last prohibited citation from the changelog: an mp4:// bullet
said "no ffmpeg". The website changelog page is REGENERATED from this file at
release time, so a scrub of the site alone would have been reverted by the next
release.
The fvi provenance fix, the key-service outage codes, the settings BOM
data-loss fix and the per-track-kind picker rows all landed on dev without a
changelog line. A release that ships undocumented fixes is one nobody can
audit later.
There were TWO top-level decrypt paths: decrypt_sectors_impl for CSS and
clear media, whose AACS arm was a bare `return Err` stub, and a wholly
separate decrypt_sectors_mapped for AACS. Each scheme therefore decided
its own answer to "there is no key for these bytes", and nothing held
them to the same one.
They drifted, in opposite directions, within a single release:
css::descramble_region descrambled with a key the sector's own crib had
just proven stale — garbage behind an intact clear header, reported Ok.
the mapped path returned early for any LBA outside every range, before
ever asking whether those bytes were ciphertext, so an unkeyable
encrypted unit passed through and extract counted it as good.
Both were fixed individually earlier today. This removes the shape that
allowed them.
decrypt_span is now the single orchestrator: it owns the loop, the
refusal, and the loss count, and each scheme supplies only what
genuinely differs. apply_aacs_map is a scheme step that reports what it
could not open; it no longer decides what that means. The public
wrappers (decrypt_sectors, _in_content, _mapped) are unchanged in
signature and all funnel through it.
Adding a scheme now means adding an arm here, which means answering the
refusal question. That is the point.
The new test asserts ONE verdict across all three schemes — AACS with no
map, AACS with an encrypted unit outside every range, and CSS whose
re-crack failed — plus that clear media is NOT a refusal. A per-scheme
test cannot hold this: each would keep passing while the two disagreed.
Flipping the AACS arm back to pass-through reds it.
Also removes the last of the tracing-capture scaffolding. Serialising
those captures crate-wide did not fix the 1-in-10 flake, and asserting
the predicates directly made the helper, both capture subscribers and
an unrelated dead OrderSink unused. Deleted rather than left behind.
Same shape as the mkv:// conflation fixed earlier in this round, found by
looking for it deliberately. E7023 carried two conditions with opposite
correct responses: one title on a multi-VTS DVD failing its own re-crack,
where skipping it and finishing the rest is right, and the main feature's
crack failing outright, which is disc-wide and dooms every title
identically. Because both raised the same code and that code is in
is_skippable_title_stub, an uncrackable disc walked all N titles printing
"title skipped, it was empty" and exited 0.
The disc-wide condition gets E7027 CssNoDiscKey, mirroring the AACS-side
E7022 NoDiscKey it is the analogue of, and joins is_disc_level_no_key.
The per-title raise keeps E7023 and stays skippable. Because the engine's
classifier already tests is_disc_level_no_key before the skippable
branch, this reaches the right outcome downstream with no change there:
such a disc now stops on the first title and reports no-key instead of
returning success with nothing written.
Disc::css_error deliberately still stores CssKeyMissing — autorip matches
that variant on the field to pick the CSS rather than AACS message, and
what consumers classify on is the gate's returned verdict, which is the
only thing that changed.
Two neighbouring CSS raises were examined and deliberately left alone:
the no-key branch in the same function is genuinely unreachable via
ensure_decryptable and documented as defensive, and resolve_dvd_title_key
is per-title on both of its call paths.
Verified by removing the new code from is_disc_level_no_key, which fails
both new tests; each pins both directions so neither can silently flip.
Not proven end to end against a real uncrackable disc — none available.
E6008 meant two unrelated things: "this title produced no muxable
frames", which is a benign stub worth skipping, and "the source file is
malformed", which is not. Because a single code carried both,
is_skippable_title_stub answered yes to the second one — so feeding a
truncated or corrupt mkv:// input made the engine classify it
SkippableStub, print a notice saying the title was empty, and exit 0.
Silent data loss reported as success.
Split into E9053 MkvSourceInvalid for the read path (25 raise sites
across mkvstream.rs and ebml.rs's read primitives) and E9054
MkvUnencodable for the four write-side sites, which are the encoder
refusing to emit a body at or above the 56-bit VINT limit — an output
limit with no input involved, so calling it a corrupt source would be
wrong in the other direction. E6008 keeps only the zero-frame guard it
was documented to mean.
Kept one code for the whole read path rather than one per raise site:
nothing a consumer does differs between a bad VINT, a non-UTF-8 string
element, a truncated body and a child overrunning its parent. E9052 is
the model for when a carve-out earns its keep — laced blocks name one
specific RFC 9559 §10.3 feature with its own diagnosis.
Also fixed meta_sink.rs raising MkvInvalid for a serde_json encode
failure in the json:// sink, where no MKV is involved at all; it now
matches the identical guard in mux/meta.rs.
Reverting the split at the single code() arm reproduces the old
classification: 22 tests fail, including both new assertions. The
opposite direction is pinned too — dropping E6008 from the predicate
fails the genuine-stub test, which drives the real muxer end to end.
**The session panics are reachable, and my earlier triage of them was wrong.**
`DiscSession::scan` and `resolve_keys` both did
`self.drive.as_mut().expect(..)`. I previously downgraded these to LOW on the
grounds that no shipped consumer calls them after the drive has been staged into
the reader slot. That is the wrong test: `stage_drive_as_reader` is a PUBLIC
method that empties the drive slot, so the public surface permits the sequence,
and a library must not panic from public API regardless of what current callers
happen to do. Both now return Error::DeviceNotReady.
**A shipped doc comment cited a third-party source FILE** as the authority for
the CLPI ProgramInfo layout ("Layout per the BD CLPI spec clpi_parse.c"). Now
cites the Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Format Part 3 CLIPINF specification.
**The CHANGELOG justified a muxer decision by naming a commercial competitor**
("MakeMKV's rip of the same disc omits it", "matching MakeMKV"). Reworded to
stand on its own terms: the element is optional in RFC 9559, nothing requires it
for interlaced SD, and the 40 ms DefaultDuration is the frame rate the source
actually carries.
The leak gate is extended for both new classes — third-party `*_parse.c` /
`*_dec.c` / `*_demux.c` style filenames, and a competitor named as authority.
Narrowing that rule took two attempts, which is worth recording. A bare
`\.(c|cpp|cc)` pattern produced eight false positives: this repo has its own C
shim (`macos_shim.c`) that build.rs and the docs legitimately reference, and the
pattern also matched the Rust field access `p.cc`. It now matches only the
suffixes typical of third-party media-library sources. This is the second
false-positive round on this rule — the first flagged ffmpeg INVOCATIONS in the
test harness — so the lesson is that a hygiene pattern needs testing in both
directions before it lands, exactly like any other code.
resolve_content_key_map loops every title into resolve_mux_key_map, which called
resolve_fmts_key_map FIRST — before the CpsUnitCache — and on an FMTS disc
returned immediately. So every playlist re-derived facts that belong to the DISC:
a full UDF walk plus /AACS/IndividualSegment.tbl, and on an FMTS disc the anchor
probe, the 32-index phase probe, and a fetch.fmts_indexes round trip.
On a 60-playlist disc, measured on a synthetic fixture: 840 -> 14 metadata reads,
2,400 -> 40 probe reads, and 60 -> 1 key-service calls. Worst case before was up
to 256 probe reads and 32 key-service calls per title. The 60 redundant
key-service round trips are a strong candidate for the keyserver storm seen in
the field.
Two memos behind a pub(crate) DiscKeyCache. The table memo (UDF walk + tbl parse)
is disc-invariant outright — nothing in that path mentions the title — and runs on
EVERY disc, so a plain BD benefits too. Only the deterministic negatives are
memoised as "not FMTS"; a DiscRead fault propagates uncached so a later title
retries.
A blind once-per-disc hoist of the PROBES was rejected as unsafe, and this is the
load-bearing reasoning: the title enters through clip_byte_to_lba, which decides
which segments are addressable and which LBA every probed clip byte reads from, so
two titles with different extent lists probe different physical bytes. A hoist
would serve title B an answer derived from title A's media and could silently turn
a per-title FmtsKeyMissing into a success. The extent list is the ONLY per-title
input, so keying on it is exactly sufficient — matching the ForcedProbeCache
precedent.
Result-identity was proved, not assumed: NEITHER probe reads the key pool.
Verified here independently — probe_fmts_index_keys takes no keys parameter at
all; index keys come from `fetch`, and the anchor's reply feeds the phase probe.
So the pool's growth across titles, the one thing that does change between calls,
cannot move a memoised value, and the result is order-independent. A test resolves
three titles through a shared memo and through fresh memos and asserts both the
per-title ranges and the final key pool (keys, slots, order) are identical.
Not memoised, deliberately: fail-loud FmtsKeyMissing, and any run where an index
hit a read fault — that is a property of a transient drive fault, not of the
extents, and caching it would spread one bad read across 59 playlists.
A fully-memoised title now does zero I/O, which made the old in-loop halt polls
unreachable for it, so a check_halt on entry was added with a test that cancels
after warming the memos.
Also corrects my own overstatement from last round: the CpsUnitCache doc now says
plainly that on an FMTS disc it removes NO reads, because this function returns
before the extent loop ever runs.
Five mutations, all verified red. Pre-existing bug flagged but not fixed:
filter_addressable_segments only checks that a segment's START byte maps to some
LBA in the title, so a play-all playlist can pass the filter while mapping segment
bytes into the wrong clip, whose anchor then returns empty and aborts the sweep.
This crate is MIT licensed. Comments citing another decoder's internal symbols
and reproducing its tables verbatim create licence risk that no engineering
benefit justifies, so every such citation is replaced with the primary source:
ETSI TS 102 114 §5.3.1.
Eleven sites across src/mux/codec/dts.rs and src/mux/mp4/audio.rs. The technical
substance is unchanged in every case — the deficit-sample-count semantics, the
reserved-field skips, the invalid LFF value, and the 16 legal AMODE codes are all
spec facts and are now attributed as such. Four CHANGELOG entries that named a
validator are reworded; the "no a reference decoder" dependency claim stays, since stating
what this project does NOT depend on carries no risk.
I initially argued this was a false positive on the grounds that the project's
hygiene rules name internal infrastructure and reverse-engineering material, not
open-source citations, and that a channel-count table from a standard is fact
rather than expression. That reasoning missed the point: the exposure is MIT
distributing text derived from GPL/LGPL sources, and that is the maintainer's
risk to weigh, not mine. Reversed in full.
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.
