How do I setup VLC to use MakeMKV's backend for Blu-Ray playback?

I have Windows, but also spend a lot of time in Linux (Deepin OS 20) and while it has VLC, am wondering how tough it will be to get the java-problem fixed in a 64-bit linux so menues and stuff work in VLC. In Windows, I have had to go back to 32-bit to have it work properly.

VLC's Java menus work fine on Linux, assuming you have installed a working JVM and all of libbluray. E.g. on Fedora 40, I need to install these RPMs:
- libbluray-1.3.4-5.fc40.x86_64
- libbluray-bdj-1.3.4-5.fc40.x86_64

where

Code: Select all

$ rpm -q libbluray-bdj --list
/usr/share/java/libbluray-awt-j2se-1.3.4.jar
/usr/share/java/libbluray-j2se-1.3.4.jar
