This disc requires Java runtime (JRE), but none was found. Certain functions will fail, please install Java.

Java is not included in MakeMKV, so ... where do you have it installed? Is it tagged as executable?

Java 1.8 is in /usr/java/jre/bin.

I also tried the directory without "java".

That first example doesn't has the eXecutable-Permission. How about the others? I'm not a Unix professional, but maybe it has something to do with that.

It is also size 0. I only listed that because makeMKV kept using that if I used the Java selection instead of typing in a path.

FYI, the disc failed to play last night in my PS4 and only played about half in my PS5. I wouldn't think that caused the problem because I think it looks for Java before it starts reading the disc.

Just a wild thought, but... do you have something listed in the "Custom Java executable location" line, or is it blank?

Mine's been blank "forever", and I never see that error, maybe because I don't have disks that trigger looking for Java. Java is not used for "every" disk.

Maybe it was just a bad disc. I tried another with "Custom Java executable location" =/usr/bin and got:

Processing BD+ code, please be patient - this may take up to few minutes
Processing BD+ code using generic SVQ from builtin/generic.svq
BD+ code processed, got 1 FUT(s) for 1 clip(s)

I tried again with custom java executable location blank and got the same result and two more movies.

I'll respond again if I see that error again.

Thanks
