Is there a reason this is for windows only? I thought there was a libbluray for linux?

Is it? Last time I checked (before we had jenkins and cmake) it worked under linux.

Vidon was able to do it, and they used the same j2me vm that's publicly available. The other alternative is to find some way to give the regular android vm awt classes.

Just to give an update, it seems that the Egreat A10, an android box, that uses KODI, just released a beta firmware. It now supports BD and UHD BD with a few hiccups.
So to sum it up, right now we have 3 methods to watching UHD BD with proper menus on PC.
DVDFab Media Player 3.1.0.0 - menu works but no HDR - need a iGPU intel or AMD/Nvidia GPU with HEVC hardware decoding for proper playback of the movie. It will only play decrypted discs.
Egreat A10 - beta firmware - plays UHD menus and movies, including HDR, but have a few glitches showing the menus and stuttering playing the main movie. It will only play decrypted discs.
PowerDVD 17 - which requires the following if you own the original discs:
Intel Kaby Lake CPU
Pioneer or other BD-XL UHD driver with proper keys.
Motherboard with SGX
HDCP 2.2 display
Original disc.
Should be able to output HDR metadata.
Observation: HDR doesn't work no matter what setting I throw here with demo h.265 files.
Observation 2: MadVR, which is free is able to output HDR metadata just fine using Windows 10 creators update API and Nvidia API.
