DVD Playback in VLC

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,

I have libdvdcss2 from the VLC-Repository installed. When trying to play a dvd with VLC it only plays sound. The first frame will remain on display. In the console the following is being displayed:

DVD Playback with SMPlayer2 seems to be flawless so far.

It always helps the people trying to help you to at least know which version of openSUSE you use.

#3

Sorry, I am using Factory.

#4

Then you should ask in the Pre-release/Beta forum.

This is CLOSED and will be moved.

#5

Moved from Multimedia and open again.

no problems have been experienced playing dvd’s with factory and the following vlc packages,

vlc-2.1.5-227.2.x86_64
vlc-codecs-2.1.5-227.2.x86_64
vlc-noX-2.1.5-227.2.x86_64
vlc-noX-lang-2.1.5-227.2.noarch
vlc-qt-2.1.5-227.2.x86_64

are the following packages installed?
libpng15-15-1.5.13-3.1.1
libebml3-1.2.2-6.1.8

as SMPlayer2 player is ok, it’s assumed the 4 DVD packages are already installed
