as you might have guessed from the topic, I am searching for a way to get Blu-Ray Menus working in VLC. I am running on Kubuntu 18.04 LTS 64bit. In order to play Blu-Ray discs I installed MakeMKV and use its codec as an input for VLC. This works.

I have installed:

  • VLC latest 64bit
  • Oracle Java from linuxuprising which is supposed to be 64bit (according to the sources), it is set as default
  • I removed all other JDKs and JREs

Still VLC tells me that no disc menus are available due to no java found.

What am I missing?

Thanks! Sebastian

  • I just checked it on Win10. Installed VLC 64bit, MakeMKV and Java 64bit, works straight away. So it must be something with the java installation on Linux.

    That is the answer indeed! Thanks for that mate! One more thing, I can't use the mouse to navigate in the menu. Only Keyboard works. Is that normal?

    Yay, Linux again. It is working on one machine, but not on the other. Does one of the libs conflict with other libbluray files?

    Ah, got it. For some reason JAVA_HOME was set to a version that I un-installed. It was set in the profile.d so I had to edit the sh script there to get the JRE version 8 up and running. Now the menus work on the second machine as well.
