Re: [Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
I suppose it is the logical conclusion, since changing the DVD drive region code allowed me to watch most DVDs I own (region 4). As far as I know, libdvdcss SHOULD be able to do a workaround through this region restrictions, but since it wasn't working with original region code (region 1) and when I changed it to the same region as my discs (region 4) it started to work, we can get to the conclusion that libdvdcss is doing its job partially, only, being able to decode protected DVDs, but ONLY if the drive's region code is the same as the disc's. And I can see why most people didn't notice this bug before: most people DO have DVD drives with the same region code as the discs they own.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
I solved the problem in #15. I followed the steps in the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1440147.html All the relevant steps to getting DVDs to play in Ubuntu 10.04 seem to be listed in one place there. Unfortunately for me it was a long process of trial and error rather than access to that thread! What seems clear is: -Ubuntu did not think the DVD drive's region was set to [4]. It reported region [2]. Windows 7 had successfully played a region [4] disc on my laptop but the drive did not seem to 'remember' the region setting under Ubuntu. -Ubuntu was able to recognise the drive type (Matshita UJ892) using System -> Administration -> Disk Utility. -I got garbled (presumably incorrectly decrypted) video from Totem and VLC Media Player until I deleted the folder shown in this command: sudo rm -r ~/.dvdcss and restarted Ubuntu. This last step is crucial, allowing DVD decryption capabilities to be rebuilt. Overall I feel this was an unnecessarily complex procedure to get usable DVD video on Ubuntu, but it is working flawlessly now. -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
Same issue: DVD spools up to ungodly speed and makes alarming rattling noises, followed by VLC refusing to play the disc. So does Ubuntu Movie Player. Ubuntu Version: Lucid Lynx 10.04 Hardware: Dell Latitude E6400 ATG laptop DVD drive: Ubuntu cannot identify type - returns 'unknown type' under disc properties. I can confirm this is not a region issue. My laptop is dual-booting and under Windows 7 this DVD player plays Region 4 (my home country's region) discs without any problems. Except one: VLC for Windows makes the same ungodly speed/rattling noise/refusal to play, very unusual behaviour for VLC under Windows. I must play DVDs through Windows Media Player instead. So I don't discount this could be a hardware issue. In my case I get the strong feeling that the system's failure to identify disc drive type is behind these errors.

I am experiencing similar trouble as the OOP (Buffer I/O error on device) while trying to play DVDs on 9.10 and on 9.04 (different machines). The region codes of the drive and the disk are identical. On the same hardware, the disk can be played in Vista (using VLC) The OOP's syslog mentions region code issues; my syslog does not mention that at all.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
Well, this almost proves libdvdcss is buggy. According to wikipedia, libdvdcss tries a list of keys and if not successful, tries a brute force algorithm wich, if successful, should ignore region codes. Aparently, the bug is only percievable if one tries to use discs with a different region code than the DVD drive being used. I don't know about you, but this could mean using another operating system, though may not seem so serious for many. Luckily, I was able to go over it using regionset. Not perfect because not all my discs are from the same region code... At least it is good enough for me to continue with (K)ubuntu.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
Just got the following from wikipedia: "libdvdcss uses a generated list of possible player keys. If none of them works (for instance, when the DVD drive enforces region coding) a brute force algorithm is tried so the region code of a DVD is ignored." This means that libdvdcss2 should ignore region code IF your player key is in the list OR brute force is successful. This could mean that libdvdcss2 is failing to brute force region code and there's nothing to do about it. I mean, couldn't find information if libdvdcss2 shoud work ALWAYS... If not, this wouldn't be exactly a bug, but a limitation. BUT, there are people above reporting that they could use their drives with previous versions of Ubuntu. Why am I insisting that the problem may be about region code? Note the following quotes from the reports above: "Jan 2 22:00:19 tjalfi kernel: [ 981.470273] sr 3:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Media region code is mismatched to logical unit region" - from the original post. "Jan 17 10:32:23 ASLAN1 kernel: [ 3267.310407] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Media region code is mismatched to logical unit region" - from Roland Giesler "Feb 28 19:47:23 ghana kernel: [ 140.423317] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Media region code is mismatched to logical unit region" - form Alec J Weatherwood and this is always followed by supposed I/O errors that could be the drive refusing to give more data from a non-matching region disc. A friend of mine has told me that it is possible to reflash the drive to make it region-free, but there is always a small risk with reflashing... The big questions remain: 1) Should libdvdcss2 work ALWAYS ignoring region? 2) When people above say that they could watch DVDs in their drives with previous releases, were they trying to watch the same discs with the same region codes? Or did they try a different disk that could be set to a different region code than their drives? I hope this helps solving this bug. -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just realized that the difference between my two notebooks, the newer with the bug and the older without may not be related to the newer running 64 bits karmic and the older the 32 bits version, but because the older notebook was made in Brazil (region 4) and its drive is set to region 4 ! That means people will only notice this bug when trying to play a DVD disk from a different region as their drive is set to! I must reinforce: Only change the region of your drive if you think it's worth it! You can only change it 5 times, no regrets after that! -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
Same problem on my new Powernote W870 (Clevo) with Blue-ray reader and DVD writer running Karmic 64 bit version. Tried to install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu, had both ubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu- restricted-extras, installed libdvdread4 and tried the shell script /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh that downloads libdvdcss2 and installs it, but the problem persisted. Interesting to note that on my older notebook that runs the 32 bit version of Karmic, running the same script mentioned before worked just fine! Looking dmesg, there are references to problems with DVD region (very similar to those people posted above), so I (partly) solved my problem using the regionset program and ajusted region to 4 that corresponds to most of my DVD disks. But now I can only change my drive region 4 times (5 times total allowed by firmware). Well, did this just to get the confirmation that libdvdcss2 is not doing its job! Apparently libdvdcss2 is buggy on karmic 64 bits !!! -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
I had the problem with and without brasero. The first time I removed it because I compiled cdrtools myself. The second time it was a standard installation therefore brasero was installed. However I can't test on this bug any further because I switched to FreeBSD for my laptop and my desktop pc is running 9.04 that isn't affected by this bug. -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
I had similar problems, and similar lines in syslog. Totem greyed out, VLC refused to play the disk. After browsing around a bit in Launchpad Bugs, I intuitively removed the Brasero disk burner application. I don't understand the connection between Brasero and DVD playback, but now the DVDs play! (The playback is still quirky, but that seems to be a different bug.) Please check this in your case - if someone would confirm me, this bug could be assigned to the Brasero team. -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic
I just installed dvdregion and set it to region 2 (which is where I am and what my DVD's are), but although my regions matches the DVD now, the error stays the same. So this is definitely a bug and not a region that is incorrect. -- DVD playback broken in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this bug. I have a brand new Sahara Montevina notebook that behaves in exactly the same way. Can't play commercial DVDs.

I just reinstalled and added css support the medibuntu way.
