Hi Teej, I apologise for my ignorance and thank you for your continued patience. I am attaching my /etc/apt/sources.list
When libdvdcss2 is not installed, I 'open' the DVD 'with' VLC (0.9.4-1ubuntu3). This opens VLC: the VLC window displays 'cdrom0' then this black screen stops after a second but VLC remains open. I then go to 'Media' -> Open Disc -> Play. This time the same happens, but the film title's name is displayed instead of 'cdrom0'. I try a third time, this time 'Media' -> Open Disc -> select 'no DVD menus' ->Play. This time the video does not start at all, and the audio is jumpy. Instead, if I open with Totem, the video starts but hangs on the initial image, the audio is jumpy then after about 7-8 sec I get 'An error occurred', 'Fail to connect stream: OK'. Finally Mplayer: There is no video at all, but the sound is nowhere near as jumpy. None of the three players asked me to install any decoding software. Maybe they have done in the past and I have declined? But surely there should be some kind of option to get the correct codec? So, this brings me to libdvdcss2 (1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1) which has a star on it in Synaptic (indicating it's new). After manually installing this the following occurs: VLC: Coping the first two methods described earlier, exactly the same happens now. The third way (selecting 'no DVD menus' makes the film playable normally. This however skips directly to the film (not really very good). This time, when the film starts, the following is displayed shortly on the screen: 'dvdsimple:///dev/scd0'. Totem: The main film plays instantly, but I am unable to access any menus from the menu bar. Mplayer: The main film plays instantly, but I am unable to access any menus from the menu bar, when I try, the main film restarts itself. ** Attachment added: "sources.list" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19605304/sources.list -- libdvdcss2 not automatically installed when playing dvd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
