I now have BD-J menus on Vero 4k running OSMC Leia. Here’s how I did it:

  • Download Oracle JDK 8 (arm32 version) and extract just the jre directory to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java (only need the jre not the full jdk)

  • copy the following X11 libraries into /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/arm
    libbsd.so.0
    libbsd.so.0.8.3
    libX11.so.6
    libX11.so.6.3.0
    libXau.so.6
    libXau.so.6.0.0
    libxcb.so.1
    libxcb.so.1.1.0
    libXdmcp.so.6
    libXdmcp.so.6.0.0
    libXext.so.6
    libXext.so.6.4.0
    libXi.so.6
    libXi.so.6.1.0
    libXinerama.so.1
    libXinerama.so.1.0.0
    libXrender.so.1
    libXrender.so.1.3.0
    libXtst.so.6
    libXtst.so.6.1.0

(I copied these libraries from raspbian)

  • install xserver-xorg-dev

  • recompile libbluray 1.0.2 with bdjava-jar option enabled. Copy the resulting libbluray-j2se-1.0.2.jar to /usr/share/java

  • add the command “export DISPLAY=:0.0” to /usr/bin/mediacenter

  • reboot

BD-J menus will work however…

…playback is choppy. In the logs I see
“NOTICE: CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Using codec: H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10”

whereas when bypassing the BD menu and going direct to main title I see
“DEBUG: CDVDVideoCodecAmlogic::Opening: codec 27 profile:100 extra_size:102”

Unfortunately I do not have time to investigate further at the moment. Could this be due to using X11 libraries from Raspian?

Probably because the menus cannot be HW accelerated, and VideoPlayer can’t switch decoding method without being re-opened.

Unfortunately requiring X11 packages makes implementing this not an option.

Where can we get x11 library for amlogic? Is it still using Mali?

850

There are dedicated install instructions for Vero4k in my [Testing] X11(simple desktop) + Chromium(web browser) in a simple installer for Stretch thread.

A bit down…

851

You don’t want to go down that route.

X11 Unstable?

854

It’s very bloaty: so it would kill performance and make OSMC quite large.
Kodi are deprecating X11 in v19.

855

Got it. Not good to invest time on something that’s going to be obsolete soon.

857

Considering v18 isn’t even here yet I’d say v19 is at least a year away.

858

Ah. I didn’t know it was still far off. Thanks :smile: Merry Christmas, everyone!
