Did you:
sudo ldconfig

Here, the libs libbdplus & libaacs were always built from git source &
so are/were in /usr/local/lib/

MythTV built from source will find them in either place (AIUI). 

The mythv logfiles should be indicating BDRingbuffer & has to be a fixed
filesystem mountpoint. i.e. /media/bd-dvd, not the auto-mount "movie
title changes every disc" type of mountpoint. 
(Note: I modified source code to look for bd-dvd)
You set the mountpoint in the frontend setup.
The mythtv wiki has some clues as does this mailing list archives &
ubuntu forums.
IIRC used a udev rule to mount the bd..

You can use "ldd /usr{/local}/bin/mythfrontend" to see where the
executable is looking.. {stuff} you know if you need this..

You could make additional symlinks to /usr/local/lib/....

I've watched that movie direct from disc without makemkv.
