The VLC trac is for (surprise!) VLC. Please don't use it for dvdcss,
thanks. Your bug would be immediately closed as notvlc anyhow.

Surak if you're saying you think think this is a libdvdcss bug. From
what I can see here, I would probably agree, as every log posted
includes the 'Media region code is mismatched to logical unit region'
line, so libdvdcss clearly isn't doing its job correctly. If so perhaps
we should mark it as affecting that package to get the attention of the
maintainers.

2010-10-09 Thread Surak
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

2010-09-29 Thread mjlcapdagde
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.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic

2010-09-29 Thread mjlcapdagde
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.

2010-03-25 Thread Sandor Rabe
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. I do have libdvdread4 and libdl installed on both machines.

I've run Regionset to change the region setting of my DVD drive. No the
above mentioned errors have disappeared.

I still can't watch DVD's, because the blayback is jerky. But the
problem mentioned on this page is solved by Regionset.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic

2010-03-07 Thread Surak
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.
Please, fix this bug aap, Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. Can't play any dvd's on my Asus UL50A with

soon have to switch to another OS. And I don't want to, since I've been

I've tried to uninstall Brasero, but that didn't have any effect.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic

2010-02-28 Thread Surak
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.

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.

[Bug 502426] Re: DVD playback broken in Karmic

2010-02-25 Thread Surak
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 !!!

2010-02-25 Thread Surak
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!

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.

2010-02-02 Thread Gergely Máté
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.

I can confirm this bug.

I have a brand new Sahara Montevina notebook that behaves in exactly the

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.

I just reinstalled and added css support the medibuntu way. Same error.
:-(

Any chance that this gets fixed (in Lucid) or do I have to switch back
to Jaunty?

According to the documentation I installed the restricted extras
package:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

There were no errors during the installation.
