So you say BD-J is not standard enabled in XBMC
When compiling, what configure options do I need to pass to have it enabled?

Cause in the help of configure I could not find anything

**wsnipex** · 2013-11-29, 12:33

you need a BD-J enabled libbluray. Where to get this depends on your platform.
Also note that with the new makemkv aacs implementation, BD-J is working.

Okey, going to check your link (have no idea what you mean).
Also I had BD-J compiled by hand on my HTPC (stopped with rev 0.3.0)

Did it start working after 0.3.0, cause at that time it always jammed?
(Btw is this support in the nighty? -> so I do not need to comile myself -> did not try eversince and I am not at my HTPC at the moment)

you need to compile XBMC with a certain flag set in order to enable BD-J support inside XBMC.

Well, If you can point me to what flagg set. Just checking the help file attached to configure. But besides the standard enable libbluray I do not see anything which seems to include BD+?

Your help is much appreciated...

not BD+, BDJ. And this one should be it: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...e.in#L1196

that flag(actually a define) is checked automatically. So to repeat myself, your libbluray must support bd-j.

Ah correct, then it was always supported and I did compile my own libbluray AND xbmc correct. Which ment libbluray was still borked with BDJ menus.

I have never seen output like this in xbmc configure output:
[System has libbluray library with bdj support]
(Or better said: Is configure actually showing me that it detected BDJ support?)

Is this correct or is it still incorrectly lookting for a libbluray package with BDJ?

Update: This is in my configure output:

Code:
checking for LIBBLURAY... yes

checking for libbluray soname... libbluray.so.1

checking for bd_register_argb_overlay_proc in -lbluray... yes

checking whether BD_EVENT_IDLE is declared... yes

checking for library containing iconv_open... none required

checking for library containing dlopen... none required

checking for library containing clock_gettime... none required

checking for library containing dn_expand... no

checking for library containing _dn_expand... no

checking for library containing __dn_expand... -lresolv

I'm by no means a linux guy (have no clue about all this configure stuff), but IIRC it only works for external libbluray versions, so if it's possible you have to tell XBMC while compiling to check for a external version. Also, maybe you can extract some more info on how to do it by reading the configure script, but as said - me != linux

i see libbluray 0.5.0 has been released, wonder will this finally make BD-J more stable

Can reply quickly: It will still not give BDJ menus.
(not in my try atleast, so If someone else could let me know ;-) )

XBMC may not support BD-J menus yet, but that libbluray library does have alpha support for BD-J menus

FYI, more info on BD+ and AACS in this other thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=31630

libbluray, libbdplus, and libaacs can now together decrypt Blu-ray Discs if the key is available

You will still need to install a AACS keys database, which can be generated with DumpHD from a Blu-ray Disk as per the guides referred to in this post here http://translate.google.com/translate?sl...-publique/ and you also need to install Java (sun-java6-bin or the free version openjdk-6-jre)

Libbdplus has recently been released by the VLC guys.

tudstudent · 2014-01-03, 18:45

When I have my desktop (~1 month) I will test it with VLC.
Curious if I will see any menu then. As far as I know it should not matter if xbmc it supports since it was comming from the libbluray package.

But hey I am not a dev. Just a happy user (while menu's would be very nice, especially for BR of tv series)

**da-anda** · 2014-01-03, 23:21

you have to compile XBMC + libbluray with BD-J support to get experimental BD-J menus in XBMC. Stock XBMC builds don't have that compile flag enabled as BD-J is still rather clunky and we would get tons of bug reports even if it's not our fault but libbluray.
