DVDs not Working

Alexius848 · October 7, 2013, 3:14am

I am having problems playing DVDs in opensuse 12.3 I am able to get the DVD menu but the rest of the DVD won’t work I hace libdvdcss2, libdvdnav4, libdvdplay0, libdvdread3, libdvdread4, ffmepeg, all the gstreamer plugins and the restricted formats and multimedia packages, I’ve tried it with mplayer, smplayer, kmplayer, vlc and kaffeine along with umplayer and I get the same result: the DVDs won’t play. My DVD drive does work since I can get the DVD menu which I tried with kmplayer and CDs work.

I had the same problem with kubuntu a while ago and had to do this

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

and reboot to get it working

but i get this error

sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh: command not found

I guess there may be a different command for opensuse or there may not even be an equivalent command.

if someone can spare the time can they pleas help.

Here is the output of

lsblk

I have tried several but I’ll try another few, but Thanks!

Alexius848 · October 7, 2013, 4:18am

Okay I tried 6 more, 4 worked though I had to wait about a minute or two for one to work, of the two remaining one refused to even show up (the computer didn’t even recognize it) the other one got to the language menu then nothing happened the same as which was happening with previous DVDs.

caf4926 · October 7, 2013, 5:33am

Assuming you have Packman repo
Install handbrake

See if Handbrake can read the titles as if to rip them

Alexius848 · October 7, 2013, 6:03am

okay handbrake can read the titles and it is encoding now. Thanks caf4926!

Alexius848 · October 7, 2013, 6:34am

Okay everyone after ripping the movie it plays perfectly, so why won’t it decrypt the DVD?

Did you install the media players from packman as well? Most - if not
all of them - have to be compiled to use libdvdcss2, and those aren’t
included in the standard repos.

See the stickies for info.

Could you please provide a link to the particular sticky I’m having trouble finding it sorry for the inconveniance.

Alexius848 · October 7, 2013, 8:26am

Ignore previous post I have been able to get one of the two which was not working (the one which actually showed up on this computer) by switching the packages to the packman repos (thanks a lot hendersj) but the DVD which won’t show up on my computer works fine in my DVD player does anybody know what could be wrong thanks for the help everyone I appreciate it.

Alexius848 · October 7, 2013, 9:29am

Oh I had already all done that (^), I just switched programs to the packman repository in yast from the repositories they must have been connected to, like below

SDB:Vendor change update - openSUSE

I probably should have said vendor change though the article I read said repository switching in its place sorry for the mistake I made.

When I changed vendors to packman it apparently recompiled vlc,smplayer, etc to use libdvdcss2, the DVDs which worked for me originally must have been unencrypted sorry that I wasn’t clear enough. I had added the packman and libdvdcss repositries and downloaded the restricted formats and all the multimedia stuff as soon as I installed this great distro

When you put the disc in, do you see activity from the drive, and once
the drive settles down, if you open a terminal and type ‘mount’, what
output do you get?

What’s the disc you’re having trouble with? Is it a commercial disc or a
self-burned disc (though if the latter, it shouldn’t need dvdcss at all)?

I’m not seeing the device even listed in the mount - the issue isn’t with
the codecs, but at a lower level.

Pop the disc out, run:

sudo tail -f /var/log/messages | grep dev/sr

And then put the disc back in and let’s see if there’s any output that
tells us what’s going on.

I’m not sure that you mount “movie DVDs”. I’m on a trip, so I don’t have
access to one and verify.

You can - there’s a VIDEO_TS directory that contains the VOB files.

Yes, I know you “can” - but do you? I mean, does xine, vlc, mplayer,
actually “mount” the media DVD? I believe not, that’s why they use such
libraries as libdvdreadX.

The OS typically does in my experience. If that weren’t my experience, I
wouldn’t have suggested that it does.
