- lookdangerous 6y agoBlu-ray has java?
- shakna 6y agoAll Bluray video players are required to support BD-J to pass. [0] And BD-J is Java (Supposedly to make better bonus content). Support for BD-J in hardware has been required since '07. Things like internet access are part of the spec. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J
- syntheticnature 6y agoI'll add that most discs are authored as BD-J.
- Volundr 6y agoI does indeed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD-J That's one of the big complications with ripping Blu-Ray discs. Even once you've broken the copy protection it's a guessing game what's played when. Also why VLC still doesn't have menu support.
- distances 6y agoWhy would it need updates? I've never updated my Blu-ray player.
- syntheticnature 6y agoTo support new media formats, fix bugs in discs' Java implementations (or their own JVM), etc.
