Is it posssible to play Blueray discs I have bought within Linux? I've been unable to get VLC to play the disc in both F30 and Windows 10.

I simple google search found this:

NB: Most commercial Blu-Ray are protected by AACS or BD+ technologies and this library is not enough to playback those discs. People interested in AACS technologies should have a look at libaacs. People interested in BD+ technologies should have a look at libbdplus.

From what I have read libbluray is a standard part of vlc out of the box. I can't find any reference to libaacs or libbdplus in the Fedora repositories, are neither of them available in the standard repositories? Under Windows 10 I was able to install libaacs but that did not enable vlc to play bluray discs as it could not find the required keys to allow playing of the disc, I had to download another player that could play the discs. Is there a player available in Linux that can actually play them?

libbdplus and libaacs are available in the rpmfusion-free repo
Other than that, I know nothing about blueray.

I've installed these libraries but that is still not sufficient to get vlc to play the blurays, I get the same issue I did under windows where I had to manually install a config file that libaacs needs, which is not installed in linux. Under windows installation of the config file lead to vlc tripping up on keys required to read the bluray.

Have you got more than one disc to try? You may have some media that's deliberately engineered to be unplayable on computers.
