# libfreemkv
Rust library for 4K UHD / Blu-ray / DVD optical drives. Drive access, disc scanning, stream labels, AACS decryption, CSS decryption, and content reading in one crate. Drive-level unlocking is handled internally; consumers work with disc access and decryption only.
DVDs (CSS) decrypt out of the box. Blu-ray and UHD (AACS) require disc-specific volume unique keys, supplied by the consumer (e.g. via [freemkv-keysources](https://github.com/freemkv/freemkv-keysources), which owns `keydb.cfg` lookup/download); libfreemkv itself never reads `keydb.cfg` or downloads keys, and no AACS key material is compiled in.
**12+ MB/s** sustained read speeds on BD. Drive prep (`init()`) handles unlocking internally via the `freemkv-unlock` crate — clients never see it; when no drive unlock applies, the library rips via the host-certificate AACS handshake.
Multi-lingual by design — the library outputs structured data and numeric error codes, never English text. Build any UI or localization on top.

Part of the [freemkv](https://github.com/freemkv) project.
## Install
Consumed by git tag (not published to crates.io):
```toml
[dependencies]
libfreemkv = { git = "https://github.com/freemkv/libfreemkv", tag = "vX.Y.Z" }
```
## Quick Start
```rust
use libfreemkv::{Drive, Disc, ScanOptions};
use std::path::Path;
// Open drive — identified via INQUIRY
let mut drive = Drive::open(Path::new("/dev/sg4"))?;
drive.wait_ready()?; // wait for disc
drive.init()?; // unlock + prep (handled internally)
drive.probe_disc()?; // probe disc surface for optimal speeds
// Scan disc — UDF, playlists, streams, AACS (all automatic)
let disc = Disc::scan(&mut drive, &ScanOptions::default())?;
for title in &disc.titles {
println!("{} — {} streams", title.duration_display(), title.streams.len());
}
// Stream pipeline — read PES frames from any source, write to any output
let opts = libfreemkv::InputOptions::default();
let mut input = libfreemkv::input("iso://Disc.iso", &opts)?;
let title = input.info().clone();
let mut output = libfreemkv::output("mkv://Movie.mkv", &title)?;
while let Ok(Some(frame)) = input.read() {
output.write(&frame)?;
}
output.finish()?;
```
### Multi-pass recovery rip
Recovery moved OUT of this crate in 1.6.0. The sweep/patch strategy, the
ddrescue mapfile, damage classification and the multipass loop now live in the
`freemkv-engine` crate as `freemkv_engine::recovery::{copy, sweep, patch}`.
libfreemkv keeps the layers underneath: the raw single-shot read
(`Drive::read`) and the SCSI-fact translation (`SenseFamily`) that the engine's
strategy is built on. The dependency runs engine → libfreemkv, so this crate
cannot call into it; front-ends get recovery from the engine directly. See
[`docs/rip-recovery.md`](docs/rip-recovery.md) for what stayed here.
## What It Does
- **Drive access** — open, identify, internal unlock + prep, speed control, eject
- **12+ MB/s reads** — auto-detects kernel transfer limits, sustained full speed
- **Disc scanning** — UDF 2.50 filesystem, MPLS playlists, CLPI clip info
- **Stream labels** — 7 BD-J format parsers (Paramount, Criterion, Pixelogic, CTRM, DBP, Deluxe, Fox)
- **AACS decryption** — transparent key resolution and content decrypt (1.0 + 2.0 bus decryption)
- **Content reading** — adaptive batch reads with automatic decryption
- **Stream I/O** — unified stream pipeline for reading and writing any format
### Streams
| Stream | Input | Output | Transport |
|--------|-------|--------|-----------|
| DiscStream | Yes | -- | Optical drive via SCSI |
| IsoStream | Yes | -- | Blu-ray ISO image file (read via stream pipeline; written by `freemkv_engine::recovery`) |
| MkvStream | Yes | Yes | Matroska container |
| M2tsStream | Yes | Yes | BD transport stream with FMKV metadata header |
| NetworkStream | Yes (listen) | Yes (connect) | TCP with FMKV metadata header |
| StdioStream | Yes (stdin) | Yes (stdout) | Raw byte pipe |
| NullStream | -- | Yes | Discard sink (byte counter for benchmarks) |
Streams implement a single unified `pes::Stream` trait (re-exported as `PesStream`) exposing `read()` and `write()` on one type. `input()` / `output()` resolve URL strings to PES stream instances. All URLs use the `scheme://path` format — bare paths are rejected.
### Keys
DVDs (CSS) decrypt out of the box, with no external key file needed.
Blu-rays and UHD (AACS) require Unit Keys passed in via `ScanOptions`/`KeySpec`. libfreemkv does not read `keydb.cfg` or fetch keys itself — that's the consumer's job (see [freemkv-keysources](https://github.com/freemkv/freemkv-keysources)). No AACS key material is compiled into the binary.
## Architecture
```text
Drive — open, identify, init, single-shot read
├── ScsiTransport — SG_IO (Linux), IOKit (macOS), SPTI (Windows)
└── unlock_bridge — private seam to the freemkv-unlock crate
(firmware / AACS cert / CSS bus-auth unlockers)
Disc — scan titles, streams, AACS/CSS state
├── UDF reader — Blu-ray UDF 2.50 with metadata partitions
├── MPLS parser — playlists → titles + clips + streams
├── CLPI parser — clip info → EP map → sector extents
├── IFO parser — DVD title sets, PGC chains, cell addresses
├── Labels — 7 BD-J format parsers (detect + parse)
├── AACS — key resolution + content decryption
└── CSS — DVD CSS (bus auth → player-key disc crack → known-plaintext title-key attack)
Streams — unified PES pipeline
├── PesStream — pes::Stream: one trait, read()/write() PES frames
├── DiscStream — sectors → decrypt → TS demux → PES
├── IsoStream — ISO file → decrypt → TS demux → PES
├── MkvStream — MKV mux/demux
├── M2tsStream — BD transport stream
├── NetworkStream — TCP with FMKV metadata header
├── StdioStream — stdin/stdout pipe
└── NullStream — discard sink
```

## Error Codes
All errors are structured with numeric codes. No user-facing English text — applications format their own messages.
| Range | Category |
|-------|----------|
| E1xxx | Device errors (not found, permission) |
| E2xxx | Profile errors (unsupported drive) |
| E3xxx | Unlock errors (failed, signature) |
| E4xxx | SCSI errors (command failed, timeout) |
| E5xxx | I/O errors |
| E6xxx | Disc format errors |
| E7xxx | AACS errors |
| E8xxx | KEYDB update errors |
| E9xxx | Stream / mux errors (URL, PES, ISO, pipeline, demux) |
## Platform Support
| Platform | Status | Backend |
|----------|--------|---------|
| Linux | Supported | SG_IO ioctl |
| macOS | Supported | IOKit SCSITask |
| Windows | Supported | SPTI |
## Contributing
Run `freemkv info disc:// --share` with the [freemkv CLI](https://github.com/freemkv/freemkv) to capture your drive's identity for contribution. Drive-unlock profiles are maintained in the [freemkv-unlock](https://github.com/freemkv/freemkv-unlock) repository.
