Public bug reported:
Hardy: DVD playback sometimes works only for root. Xine as well as all
other DVD players complain that the DVD is encrypted and they cannot
play it back. libdvdcss2 is installed and playback is possible when
done by root. Here is some information:
If I try to play a DVD back as a regular user with xine
--verbose dvd://1 I see the following error:
---------------------- (ERROR) ----------------------
The source seems encrypted, and can't be read.
Your DVD is probably crypted. According to your country laws, you can or
can't install/use libdvdcss to be able to read this disc, which you
bought. (Media stream scrambled/encrypted)
------------------ (END OF ERROR) -------------------
This is strange since (1) libdvdcss2 is installed and (2) root can
playback properly.
