# libfreemkv

Rust library for 4K UHD / Blu-ray / DVD optical drives. Drive access, disc scanning, stream labels, AACS decryption, CSS decryption, KEYDB updates, 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 a `keydb.cfg` (default `~/.config/freemkv/keydb.cfg`) supplying disc-specific volume unique keys; 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.

## 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** — 5 BD-J format parsers (Paramount, Criterion, Pixelogic, CTRM, Deluxe)
- **AACS decryption** — transparent key resolution and content decrypt (1.0 + 2.0 bus decryption)
- **KEYDB updates** — download, verify, save from any HTTP URL (zero deps, raw TCP)
- **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 a `keydb.cfg` at `~/.config/freemkv/keydb.cfg` (or passed via `ScanOptions`). No AACS key material is compiled into the binary.

```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           — 5 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)
  └── KEYDB            — download + verify + save

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

## 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 |
|----------|--------|---------|
