Add built-in Java support

**vpeter** · July 13, 2019 at 8:00 AM

I tested 1.1.2 and it works exactly the same as previous version regarding stability.

No idea when it will be bumped.

Thanks for your feedback. I tested the VLC player on Windows for some time. With the 1.1.2 libbluray integration BD menus work really good. Out of 20 iso files tested only 1 caused some trouble. I did not test the VLC player under Linux yet. Let´s check....

Seems at least libbluray 1.1.2 is needed for this? Currently 1.0.2 is used.

So then, let's go

Is the addon in the official repo already too?

Do I just put the 1.1.2 jar in the addon folder or do I have to make symlink too?

You need to build your own LE image because Kodi needs new libbluray library too. It is not just two .jar files.

OK so I wait for new version

It seems that the latest libbluray version is not implemented in the latest libreelec release.

Not a big deal, but would be nice to see if there is a more stable behavior.

I checked the functionality with the very latest KODI / Libreelec version. Huge improvement! It seems that many optimizations have been made on the video player side. Almost 80% of the BDJ menus worked on my Raspberry Pi 3+ (with the same JAVA add-on as before).

tomhai · January 5, 2020 at 12:06 PM

I tried the latest Libreelec Milhouse builds, which include the latest libbluray release as a major change.

I also installed the JAVA add-on and the results were disappointing. Most BDJ menus did not work.

Is the reason that the Zulu JAVA add-on needs to be updated / adjusted as well?

BTW: Since this LE version the new libbluray release is included:

LibreELEC master is still on 1.0.2: LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

I would say Milhouse should update addon for his versions.

As a workaround you could copy file libbluray-j2se-1.1.2.jar and libbluray-awt-j2se-1.1.2.jar to folder /storage/.kodi/addons/tools.jre.zulu/

Code

wget -O /storage/.kodi/addons/tools.jre.zulu/libbluray-j2se-1.1.2.jar http://vpeter.libreelec.tv/BD-J/libbluray-j2se-1.1.2.jar
wget -O /storage/.kodi/addons/tools.jre.zulu/libbluray-awt-j2se-1.1.2.jar http://vpeter.libreelec.tv/BD-J/libbluray-awt-j2se-1.1.2.jar

I see it funny how opposite results users have. One wrote "Almost 80% of the BDJ menus worked" and the other "Most BDJ menus did not work"

Well, the same user wrote this...

Two different scenarios:

a) LibreELEC 9.2.0 (Leia, final version based on Kodi v18.5) with ZULU Java add-on: works really well with >80% working menus

b) LibreELEC (Milhouse) development builds (based on Kodi v19) with the same ZULU Java add-on: works really bad; most menus broken

System: Raspberry Pi 3+ with Java add-on (tools.jre.zulu-9.0.101-RPi2.arm.zip)

**vpeter** · January 5, 2020 at 1:40 PM

Misses you wrote both posts

Well, b) can't even works because jre addon doesn't have libbluray jar files

You need to add them like I wrote to get it running.

So does it work with workaround?

Please give me some time for the next test. I am on business travel (without my RasPi)
