** Description changed:
Ubuntu 4.10, 5.04, 5.10, 6.06, 7.04, 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10,
10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10
1. Install Ubuntu.
2. Insert a standard movie DVD.
What happens:
* In Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier, "An error occurred" - "Could not read from
resource."
* In Ubuntu 11.10, "An error occurred" - "Could not read DVD. This may be
because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed."
Without libdvdcss2, Totem, VLC, and others are unable to play my
original DVD-s. I know it's illegal to ship Ubuntu with libdvdcss2, but
it could be in multiverse repos, and totem's plugin installer could
install it, OR add the medibuntu repo to the list (but leave unchecked),
then Totem's plugin installer should give a hint, to use that repo's
libdvdcss2 to play your DVDs. Newbies wont find out how to solve this
problem by theirself, go back to win, and then it will be harder to
solve the bug #1 :)
Not to be confused with:
* bug 502426, where DVDs don't play when libdvdcss is installed
* bug 745515, "An error occured location not found" while trying to play a DVD
* bug 747433, "Totem cannot play this type of media DVD because it does not
have the appropriate plugins to be able to read from this disc"
-------------------------------------
Desired solution:
- When a user tries to play a dvd, a dialogue should pop up displaying the
- following message:
-
- "The DVD you have inserted cann't currently be played because the
- supporting software has not been installed. This is because it is not
- legal for Ubuntu to distribute this software in some countries. If you
- are certain that it is legal for you to install this software in your
- country, you can install it now. Would you like to install it now?
-
- <yes install now> <no thanks>"
+ This bug will be fixed as part of the larger "3rd party codec install"
+ project (project contact Christian Giordano).
