I have the plugins which I need but it doesn't play after all. My DVDs are new and I tried more than one and none of them work. I can play self-created DVDs with no problems.

I tried different players like Dragon, VLC, SMPlayer; the ones everyone says are good. I don't doubt it and SMPlayer is good but, you know, no DVDs!

If I try Dragon it displays all black. If I try VLC it jumps from one data to another but it doesn't play. If I try SMPlayer it shows me that it was played... but it didn't play at all.

  • Well for that totem thing I only get Arte-addition for totem, hope translated it right. So it's sorta different. – Rin Jan 17 '14 at 16:11

    The question linked above is quite old; VLC, for example, now handles DVD menus very well. It sounds as though you don't have `libdvdread4` (and thus `libdvdcss2`) installed correctly. Try repeating the instructions for installing them. Or maybe it is a region code problem? The community docs for playing DVDs are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs – David Edwards Jan 17 '14 at 16:34
  • How about your codecs? Is your DVD ROM working properly? – tehnikalac Jan 17 '14 at 16:15
  • you mean my drive? yes no problem. What codecs you mean? I can say to 100% it`s not the dvd. – Rin Jan 17 '14 at 16:19

Solution 1:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Solution 2:

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list `http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list`
sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring
sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

*Then update Synaptic:

sudo update-apt-xapian-index

*Install codec for your Ubuntu 32 or 64 bit:

sudo apt-get -y install w32codecs ubuntu-restricted-extras    (32bit)
sudo apt-get -y install w64codecs ubuntu-restricted-extras    (64bit)

*Enable full-DVD support:

sudo apt-get -y install libdvdcss2 libdvdnav4 libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

    Medibuntu repositories are dead. – Braiam Jan 17 '14 at 16:27
  • I forgot about that... Then he should try installing just codec pack for his version of Ubuntu and enable Full-DVD support. If his hardware is working properly it should work. I just can't think of what else it could be... – tehnikalac Jan 17 '14 at 16:39
  • Solution one ... I have it. where does I enter Solution 2? – Rin Jan 17 '14 at 18:11
  • I have all these... enable full dvd support, how do I do that? – Rin Jan 17 '14 at 18:32
