Well I was hoping, given that Jean-Baptiste is a VLC developer, for a definitive answer especially in light of VLC's rather unpredictable requirement for single, double or triple slashes.

Sure. What is the required format for the path string for BD_DEBUG_FILE? E.g. should I use forwardslashes or backslashes? Double or single? Absolute or relative path to file?

No additional debug messages are logged. As soon as VLC opens, the usual window with the Java error is shown: Java required: This Blu-ray disc requires Java for menus support.Java was not found on your system. The disc will be played without menus. No additional messages in the Messages window: main...

OK but the point is that it's missing from the command-line help for some reason.

Per previous message, if there's a specific command you would like me to run with particular options to generate the "advanced debugging" please let me know.

Perhaps you would be good enough to let me know exactly what you'd like me to try. I've checked the Messages window with verbosity set to 2 while testing but the debug messages listed in the code are not written to this window. Command line seems to have the same verbosity options so it's not clear ...

1. Thanks for confirming.
2. Thanks for the link. Referenced registry keys and JAVA_HOME are all set correctly yet VLC doesn't manage to locate JVM runtimes.

1.8.0_181-b13

Please let us know
1. Whether there is a setting that controls how VLC finds the Java installation; and
2. How VLC finds the Java installation (e.g. check for a reg key, check a particular env var, etc.).

Ideally this information would be reflected in user documentation.

Is there any update on this please? I.e. is there a setting to control how VLC finds the required Java installation?
Alternatively please let us know how VLC checks for local Java installation. I have 32bit VLC and 32bit Java 8, but VLC complains that it cannot find Java installed.

I've seen a post or two regarding the "continue playback" feature in v2.2.2 not working or working only intermittently. Haven't seen yet a reply from the development team, perhaps there is a reply on some topic which I've not found. Hoping to get some confirmation from dev that they are aw...

When is 2.1.3 scheduled for release?

Could dev please add a test for this functionality before releasing an update?
It's fairly fundamental functionality and shouldn't get through release testing.

Reporting the same problem since updating to v2.1.2 on Windows 7 64bit.
As an aside - the "About" information doesn't show architecture (i.e. 32bit or 64bit) information, this should be fixed too.

Could we please get an update from dev on ETA for a fix?
