Hi

I'm trying to play a BluRAY with menus using VLC on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, unfortunately i always receive an error telling me that Java is not installed and therefore it plays without menus.

Code: Select all

VLC media player 3.0.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.4-0-gf615db6332)

Log:

Code: Select all

libbluray: First play: 0, Top menu: 0
HDMV Titles: 2, BD-J Titles: 79, Other: 79
libbluray error: BD-J menus not supported. Playing without menus. BD-J support: 1, JVM found: 0, JVM usable: 0
libbluray: Adding ES 4113

Java version

Code: Select all

ubuntu@ubuntu-PC:~$ java -version
openjdk version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4, mixed mode)

I have also added to my /etc/environment the java_home directory:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/"

What else can i try to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks.

Did you ever find a solution? I've been struggling for about a week to get blu ray menus working in VLC in Linux.

On Ubuntu 18.04 I searched Synaptic Package Manager and installed
libbluray-bdj and the Blueray menus are now working perfectly.

sudo apt-get install libbluray-bdj

THANK YOU!!!! wizbal!!! you are god

but I had also libaacs throught : git, and some key database from vlc-bluray.. :/..
also i had installed java and changed that path. Next time i will try only your way first

But, next problem, video quality looks quite low, background noises(i am not sure if its right term). Can vlc have some part on it? i dont like that original BLURAY would have lower video quality even though older serial.

This is still the simplest way to get the Blu-ray menus working. Wonderful; Thank you!
