The disc structure, signed JAR, and video are all valid. The menu never
appeared because 'make run' opened the UDF .iso: libbluray's BD-J stack must
copy BDMV/JAR/00000.jar out of the image into /tmp/libbluray-bdj-cache before
the JVM can load it, and that write is refused by libbluray's BD-J
SecurityManager (usingUdf=true / no disc root). With no JAR mounted the Xlet
class isn't found (ClassNotFoundException: org.homebrew.MyXlet) and VLC falls
back to the raw playlist -> video, no menu.
Opening the build/disc BDMV folder instead lets libbluray read the JAR
directly, so the Xlet loads and the menu overlay runs. The ISO is still built
for burning; real players read the JAR from the disc filesystem directly.
- run-vlc.sh: default to build/disc, accept folder or .iso, add --bluray-menu
- Makefile: 'run' depends on the disc folder, not the ISO
- README: document the folder-vs-ISO libbluray caveat
