TROUBLESHOOTING step 2 said `freemkv info`, which needs a source URL; the drive route is `freemkv info disc://`. architecture.md quoted 1.5 s / 30 s for the read timeouts. The constants are READ_TIMEOUT_MS = 10_000 and READ_RECOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS = 60_000 (src/scsi/mod.rs:72,94).

Disc to Rip: End-to-End Flow — How the library goes from a disc in the drive to decrypted content. Read this first.
Reference
| Document | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Architecture | Module map, design principles, error codes, platform support |
| Drive Access | Drive, SCSI transport, profiles, unlock, why raw mode is needed |
| Rip Recovery | What this crate owns of the recovery model: single-shot Drive::read, SenseFamily, DiscStream batch halving (the strategy itself moved to freemkv-engine in 1.6.0) |
| AACS Encryption | Key resolution (4 paths), content decryption, bus encryption, SCSI handshake |
| UDF Filesystem | UDF 2.50 with metadata partitions, pointer chain, how files are read from disc |
| MPLS Playlists | Playlist format, play items, STN stream table, coding types |
| CLPI Clip Info | EP map (coarse + fine entries), timestamp-to-sector mapping, extent calculation |
| API Design | Stream API design, PES pipeline, input/output resolution |
Reading Order
If you want to understand the whole library:
- Disc to Rip — the big picture
- Architecture — how modules fit together
- Drive Access — how we talk to hardware
- UDF → MPLS → CLPI — how disc content is structured
- AACS — how encryption works and how we break it
