NEW: Blu-ray Menu playback support

As an alternative, you can always rip to MKV with MakeMKV, which should seperate into distinct episodes as well.

you remind me that i need to test Fringe season 1. the first couple seasons used one m2ts file for all episodes on each disc and makemkv at the time could not separate them out. i had to use mkvtoolsnix to separate them out by timecode. strange. want to see how MC handles the full BD menu as fox authored the first couple seasons in the US that way.
the latest version of MC 25.0.17 also has no issues with playback of extras on my xfiles discs now. used to be the audio was normal but video was sped up. rest of menu playback was fine. all is well now.

I'm having issues playing some UHD Bluray titles with the menus (using D3D11 copyback, as native doesn't work with menus). These are ripped as BD Folders directly from my original discs, usually using AnyDVDHD.
It seems that many (if not all) Paramount titles are stuck on the first screen, that ask for a language selection without allowing any way of selecting it (arrows not active, bring up the MC menu instead).
Examples: A Quiet Place UK, Allied UK
Another common issue, a black screen either right away or after a first a/v logo. This seems to be an issue with 20th Century Fox titles.
Examples: Alien Covenant UK, The Revenant US
Are these well-known issues or is it just me? Anything that can be done to resolve these?
If I enable main title instead of menus, the main title plays fine for all these discs.
Manni:
OK, I've started debugging on these, and my first step was to re-rip the disks using DVDFab instead of AnyDVDHD.
I started with The Revenant, which played immediately, without any issues.
So I compared the rips and found that 4 files .properties files were missing in the AnyDVDHD full disc rip, all in the BDMV/JAR folder:
In 88888, the files customGPRReset.properties and startup.properties
In 99999, the files disc.properties and title.properties.
As soon as I copied the missing files in the AnyDVDHD rip, the menus were working fine.
I assume re-ripping the other titles with DVDFab (or with a fixed version of AnyDVDHD) will correct the other titles with this same issue (A Quiet Place for example).
So I guess this one is more for Redfox than for JRiver, I'll post a link to this post in their forum.
I'll investigate the other issue with Allied/Alien Covenant and will let you know.
Hendrik:
I never use any of such tools for actual ripping. I let them decrypt the disc, and then use Windows Explorer to copy it to a place of my choosing. "Ripping" is just copying after decryption anyway.
Or are they even missing on the disc when AnyDVDHD decrypts it on the fly?
In any case, properties files missing could easily explain any kind of playback failure with BD-J.

Sure, but if you do this you don't get the useful info that AnyDVDHD provides, for example the list of valid playlists in disc.inf when ripping a title with playlist obfuscation. That's why I prefer to use these. Usually AnyDVDHD is very reliable, I'm sure they'll fix this soon it it's from them.
I had the same result with Allied, missing .properties with AnyDVDHD, issue resolved when copying the missing files (five this time, from three folders also in the JAR folder) from a fresh DVDFab rip.
I'll let Redfox know after re-ripping with the latest AnyDVDHD in case this has already been solved with a more recent build, but as I've had to re-rip all my collection recently I doubt it. I'll also test if the .properties files are missing when decrypting.
Thanks!
