After a recent update within karmic koala, I could then play all region 2 dvd's (the region my dvd player has been set to), but could not play region 1 dvd's.
I have now followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs about installing libdvdcss. Now everything is working perfectly, provided I open the dvd drive with the "eject cdrom" command. However, I have not tried to "automatically" open movies from the menus. Instead I open VLC player, and choose the option Media/Open disc. >From the menu, where it says disc device, I have browsed and selected the >mounted dvd - this automatically points to the mount point. Using that route >to start playing dvd's is perfect, and not that time consuming. -- Cannot mount media in DVD rom drive, Acer Timeline 4810T. Drive is detected, and media only detected if placed in the drive when machine suspended. Even then DVD movies (purchased) are not recognised - error message that media is unknown. Audio cd's sometimes play. When trying to unmount, I am asked for my password - message given that another user mounted the media. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412527 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
