Java Runtime Kubuntu 18.04 LTS to get Blu-Ray Menu in VLC

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


  1. Install the Blu-ray Java module

    sudo apt-get install libbluray-bdj libbluray-bin
    
  2. Restart VLC
