I'm having trouble getting VLC to play my UHD discs with the menu despite having the JDK SE version 20.0.1 installed and the JAVA_HOME path variable set:

I can compile and run Java code in my IDE so there's no technical issues on that end. What I don't understand is why VLC isn't seeing my Java install and showing me the disc's menu(s).

The VLC error:

I've also included the log file below:

EDIT 0: Should I enable a more detailed logging level and try again?

I have now tested it by removing the JAVA_HOME variable and now VLC can't find any Java installation. I think this confirms that it's something with VLC since the log file keeps complaining about a "stale plugins cache" etc.

Could that be something?

Which is what I’m doing.

If VLC were 32-bit it would shows as such in Task Manager in Windows 10 which it does not do. My Java version is 64-bit and is as stated in OP OpenJDK 20.0.1.

How do I make sure it doesn't interfere with my 64-bit install which I use for development purposes?
