Following the updates that came through today by slomo (thanks btw), such as the new gstreamer base revision, I gave another dvd title a test. I tried the R4 title "Reign of Fire" and it failed to playback by presenting an error dialogue about playlist errors not being parsed. I tried again "The Core" and get the same error about parsing playlists.
I'd like to briefly comment on testing dvd menus too. No open source project has been licenced by the copyright holders to provide dvd menu playback. What this means is that the hackers who have reverse engineered dvd menu support in open source projects have done so without being issued the specifications. DVDs have a vast range of different functionality that the specifications cover - some of it is not intuitively obvious or trivial. When it comes to testing its important to try many differently authored DVD menus as they typically use different features out of the spec. If a tester reports "it works for me" we should not rush ahead with this - we need to have caution and a wider test coverage to more widely understand the robustness. -- DVD playback does not work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-base0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
