This Blu-ray disc requires Java for menus support.

Attempting to play Blu-Ray disc and get the message:

Java required:
This Blu-ray disc requires Java for menus support.
The disc will be played without menus.

I have Java installed:

Code: Select all

:~$ java --version
openjdk 21.0.4 2024-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21.0.4+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu224.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0.4+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu224.04, mixed mode, sharing)

Looking in "Tools > Messages" with verbosity 2 debug, the window is empty; there are no messages.
Is there some setting in VLC or an environment variable that needs to be set?

From this post (https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... va#p546583) I note that it includes the libbluray-bdj which I didn't have. So, I installed it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libbluray-bdj

Now, when I open the disc, the error no longer appears but it doesn't start the menus. But it apparently can now read the metadata as the disc thumbnail now appears.

If I double-click the disc to start it, I get this error:

Code: Select all

Blu-ray error:
Failed to start bluray playback. Please try without menu support.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'bluray:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.
