EDIT 1: Rebuilt Kodi, this time using correct branch I believe (System Info showing 133ca72), still no joy though. Updated steps for those interested in helping or for the less linux savvy people out there (like myself) trying for themselves. BTW, if I'm not supposed to post this here, my apologies.
EDIT 2: Updated steps for git version of libbluray
Tried building libbluray and the bdj branch but not sure if I've done it correctly. Is there any way to check, i.e. by Kodi version number?
My System info lists: Git: date-ae419a7-dirty if that is any help. Edit 1: Lists correct version info now.
I downloaded libbluray 0.6.2 from the vlc site and built it succesfully I think, only the building of the bdj branch I'm not really sure of. Here are the steps I followed (roughly) so if I did something wrong, can someone correct me or point me in the right direction please?
As you may find I'm no linux expert ...
EDIT 3: updated full steps, based on current Kodibuntu
1) Get updated packages and dependencies
Add repo for newer version of libcec:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulse-eight/libcec
Get updated package list and build dependencies:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep kodi
Install necessary packages:
a) If updated from xbmcbuntu 13.2:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libtool libxml2-dev libfreetype6-dev default-jdk ant git-core libcap-dev libcec
b) If fresh installed kodibuntu 14.0:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core ant default-jdk libcec

2) Set Java path
When not set, the following command returns an empty line:
If so:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Note/copy the path "/usr/lib/jvm/path-to-your-java-install". Open the file /etc/environment:
Code:
sudo vi /etc/environment
Add the following at the bottom:
Code:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/path-to-your-java-install"
(down arrow to bottom, 'o' , type/copy in the line, 'esc', ':wq' and enter):
Update path info:
Code:
source /etc/environment
check if updated:
3) Removing, building and re-installing libbluray
Code:
sudo apt-get remove libbluray1
cd /usr/local/src
sudo git clone git://git.videolan.org/libbluray.git
cd libbluray
sudo ./bootstrap
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-bdjava
Check if all went well:
Code:
Output:
Summary:
--------
BD-J support: yes
BD-J type: j2se
Font support (freetype2): yes
Metadata support (libxml2): yes
Build examples: yes
Finally make and install:
Code:
# Adjust -j2 accordingly or leave out, had some warnings
sudo make -j2
sudo make install

4) Build kodi branch with libbluray enabled
Code:
sudo git clone -b bdj https://github.com/ace20022/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
if doing a build when source code has changed:
git clean -xfd
sudo git reset --hard
sudo git pull --rebase
Quote:Source used: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Linux
Code:
sudo ./bootstrap
# Adjust following options if necessary, i.e. vdpau disabled and vaapi enabled
sudo ./configure --disable-pulse --enable-libbluray --enable-vdpau --disable-vaapi (--disable-crystalhd --enable-libmp3lame) <---- last two options unrecognized
# Adjust -j2 accordingly or leave out, had some warnings
sudo make –j2
sudo make install
5) Reboot
