Getting Error Message while playing Blu-ray ISO's "Playback Error with BD Menus". I am not sure if I need to make any changes in my Kodi version but this is happening for all the Bluray iso images...

1. I am not able to get the bluray menu

Please advise if I need to make any changes in the system.

First of all.
There is no Bluray ISO in this world!
ISO or rather the ISO9660 standard does not allow data larger than 2 GB to be stored in it. This standard is not made to store video streams from blurays.

There are tricks to store larger data in it, but it is not recommended. Operating systems do not have to support such inconsistent file systems. And as far as I know it is only supported halfway acceptable on Linux.

This is the first thing that could cause your issue.

Another cause could be your Kodi environment. To play blurays with menu, some libraries are essential. Generally you always need the libbluray library.
If you obviously want to play a copy you should ask yourself if your data on the ISO is encrypted or already decrypted. If the data is still encrypted, then you need libaacs to decrypt it. How to do that you can see at videolan or other forums.

If your bluray is a bluray with java menu, or a BD+, then you need a java runtime environment.
If you have a BD+ disc, then you probably need the libbdplus library.
You can find more information about the necessary libraries on the VideoLan page.

TIP:
If your Bluray ISO is really a BDJ, i.e. a Bluray with Java menu, I strongly recommend you to compile the libbluray yourself. Because here javaprograms are built with your own Java JDK environment which offers the best compatibility when playing such discs.
This way you avoid most of the problems when playing such blurays.
