Play Blu-ray discs using Menus - Linux JRiver 32
« on: February 04, 2024, 10:54:42 pm »

Hi,

Moving over to Linux after many years JRiver on Windows.

I'm in the trial period of JRiver 32, below is about bluray import.

   1) Is there a 'Play Blu-ray discs using Menus' option like in windows?... meaning when the movie icon is selected it loads to the bluray menu, instead of playing the movie straight away.

   2) I have set the auto import to my movie folders, though when i click the movie it always says 'Something went wrong with playback' and doesn't start at all.
       If i go to the stream folder of the 4k rip and open the main movie file from there it plays in jriver perfectly, though not when I click the bluray movie that was imported
       into jriver (The entire bluray movie ripped with MakeMKV).
       This may have something to do with what I wrote in # 1).

I tried a few different video and audio settings so I don't think that is the problem.

Thanks,

Jason V

I'm not the expert but I believe Blu-ray disk playback does not function in Linux version due to codecs not available. Thats why I was trying to get a list of diffferences in this post - to know where we stand and for what reason ..https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,137995.0.html

Correct, you can't playback DVD/BD discs in MC for Linux. Nor can you playback DVD/BD ISOs (or any sort of disc image) or DVD/BD folder structures in MC for Linux. And it's not because of codecs per-say, but because playback relies on Windows system components.

The workaround is to use MakeMKV and rip the DVD/BD discs or disc images or folder structures into MKV files. Of course, this means no menus or anything like that.

Thanks for the info, I didn't think there would have been any differences though there obviously are.

Hi,
I used MakeMKV to rip the entire disks in full quality .M2TS files ..
I don't need to rip/convert them to MKV files as It looks like the original ripped disk .M2TS files play perfectly in JRiver.. the main movie file without the menus.
It's a shame about Linux JRiver not being able to play the Bluray with the menus, it's the only process on my Linux system that isn't working the way I want.
Thanks for the first bit of info.

Does anyone know, if money and time wasn't an issue, would the above be technically possible in any way whatsoever?
Programming the 'Play Blu-ray disks using Menus' feature into the Linux version... maybe a plug-in or slight windows
emulation embedded for that particular feature.

Thanks for your time.
