By 'encoded' I mean it needs libdvdcss to play it. I think I have one DVD somewhere which might not need libdvdcss, but I am not entirely sure - and I have no particular desire to search for it to see if it plays (it was not very interesting). > > vlc --version > VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be) > VLC version 2.1.4 Rincewind (2.1.4-0-g2a072be) > Compiled by magnus on localhost (May 3 2014 21:33:57) > Compiler: gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC) > This program comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. > You may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License; > see the file named COPYING for details. > Written by the VideoLAN team; see the AUTHORS file. > > uname -a > Linux lfs 3.14.1 #3 SMP Fri Jun 6 17:25:28 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux > I'm also on Rincewind. The build I last tested was using gcc-4.9.0, but for me this problem has happened ever since I first installed vlc several years ago. I'll now describe it as "works fine for some people, but not for others", which is not exactly an improvement ;-) > I have a problem with Dragon player instead.
