Public bug reported: XBMC no longer plays back DVD media (whole disc or VOBs) since upgrade to Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 (from Precise 12.04).
Tested to occur on 3 different PCs, so it does not seem to be an hardware related thing. Here some test cases: 1) Play DVD media disc - FAILED 2) Play VOB on DVD media disc - FAILED 3) Play ripped DVD (i.e. from HDD) - FAILED 4) Play VOB on ripped DVD - SUCCESS Case (1) gives multiple errors in dmesg: [29947.860192] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] [29947.860198] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE [29947.860201] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] [29947.860203] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [29947.860209] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] [29947.860213] Add.
