VLC player crashes playing dvd and is missing AASC file for Blue ray

Hi,  I just installed the new Q4OS Aquarius, Trinity on 3 computers.  I installed the proprietary codecs.  VLC sees the DVD movie but when I hit play it instantly crashes.  It's the same on all 3 computers.  I don't remember having this issue in the past with a much older Q4OS version.  When I try to play a blue ray it says it's missing AACS configuration file.  I'm not real technical or knowledgeable when it comes to operating software.

AACS file is a list of disk identifiers and decryption keys that you need to run Blue Ray.

Take a look at this,

Its a bit old but its been a reoccuring issues for years.

@mlundgr
What profile did you apply upon Q4OS install ? See desktop profiler https://www.q4os.org/dqa016.html

Please try to install packages:
$ sudo apt install libaacs-dev libasm-java libbluray-bdj libbluray-bin
reboot, try to load bluray disk and report back.

You can also try to put "KEYDB.cfg" in the  "~/.config/aacs/" as described https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=420075 and post back
