If you are running your Linux system as root, for example Kali Linux, you’ll get the error below when you try to run VLC. Installing VLC is so easy, it is available in official repositories of mainstream Linux distros, just run the following command on your respective Linux distribution. Note: There is a reason why VLC won’t run in a root account (or can’t be run as root), so because the root account is for system maintenance only, not for everyday activities. In this article, we will show you a simple hack that will enable you to run VLC media player as root user in Linux.

Some of its notable features include support for almost all (if not most) multimedia files, it also supports Audio CDs, VCDs, and DVDs. It is a very popular (and possibly the most used) media player out there. Also tried installing vlc on an external hard drive, to run it separate but had no luck on that.VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player, encoder and streamer that works. I’ve tried to install some other free blu ray playing software, none of them worked without the administrator permissions. Are there any other ways to get around this to play this discs on vlc? Otherwise I’ve just dropped $60 on a drive that’s just going to end up limited to a DVD player. I doubt I could justify getting administrator access just to make this change.
Following instructions I found online, I’ve added the keys.cfg file to my users\appdata folder, but administrator restrictions on my work computer won’t let me modify program files to add the libaacs.dll file. Trying to set it up today I’ve discovered vlc needs some extra work to play the discs. I recently bought an external blu ray drive and all the reviews for it online claimed it played bluray discs with vlc, without any problems. I work at a call centre with a lot of downtime (working from home), and on a slow day they don’t mind us watching movies (not encouraged but bosses know we do it).
