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
