I have the same issue with totem hanging when trying to play some DVDs both either from "auto-run" dialog or from the "Play disk..." menu item. Of course, one can play VOBs directly, but it seems to be not really user-friendly. So it has to be fixed.
Since I firstly encountered this problem I have made the following changes to my Ubuntu 9.10 amd64: - enabled karmic-proposed repository to get all possible related fixes, especially patched libdvdnav4; - added streamer-developers PPA, that fixed another issue with one of the DVDs, playing with no sound as described in thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/403098; - added medibuntu repository as described in thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 and tried to solve the problem installing libdvdcss2 and w64codecs from there, which did not help. Finally I have installed totem-dbg and made a backtrace. Additionally can inform that in system monitor totem is in "sync_page" state during hang. Hope it helps developers. ** Attachment added: "backtrace" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39378279/gdb-totem.txt -- totem hangs when try to play DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/466389 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
