Please, help me guys - what does the error message "Failed to send host key!" exactly mean? Summary for drive R: (AnyDVD HD 8.4.9.4, BDPHash.bin 20-03-11) ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.01 Drive (Hardware) Region: 2 Current profile: BD-ROM Media is a Blu-ray disc. Total size: 47285472 sectors (92354 MBytes) Video Blu-ray label: THE SHINING Media is AACS protected! AACS MKB version 68 Drive supports bus encryption! Disc wants bus encryption! Failed to send host key (bus encryption)! FEHLER bei der Bearbeitung der Blu-ray Disc! Logfile attached...
It means your drive didn't transmit its host key (unique to the drive) which anydvd needs to decrypt the disc. Could be a disc or drive problem.
Other discs are working fine, but this one causes problems in my second drive (same ASUS model) as well, it sometimes even is not recognized - drive is shown empty in Windows Explorer and AnyDVD status window...
Very strange - now it IS recognized...reading takes very long, drive keeps being busy, see logfile! Total size: 47285472 sectors (92354 MBytes) Video Blu-ray label: THE SHINING Media is AACS protected! AACS MKB version 68 Drive supports bus encryption! Disc wants bus encryption! UHD Blu-ray disc. Blu-ray disc is region free! Removed annoying trailers! Removed annoying video sequences! Removed UOPs! Bad sector protection not found. WARNING: Read errors on disc! Decryption in progress, let's hope it works...
Now it decrypts in my internal drive (not the USB one) - and I did not change anything concerning cables or other HW!
Decryption successful, playback (VLC/PowerDVD, latest versions) works - I have no idea, why those errors occured...any of you, guys?
