Thanks to Kaleo identifying the path to resolution above, I was able to see the correct path, in enabling (unencrypted) DVD playback, is installing through Synaptic Package Manager: 1) gxine 2) libxine1 3) libxine1-ffmpeg
Now, I can open gxine from the Ubuntu menu and play (unencrypted) DVDs in Ubuntu. This work-around for a common problem was too hard to find, in my opinion. I also think the "xine workaround" should be presented as an option along side the DeCSS recommendations, in addition to information on why their encrypted DVDs are limiting fair-use. Thanks for providing this resource, and I hope gstreamer fixes this DVD- playback problem soon. -- Totem will not play dvd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
