gstreamer and dvd playback

[mandyfester]

Hello

I am using feisty 64 bit and I cannot get gstreamer 0.10 to play dvds.

I would like this to work so that I can use Elisa multimedia system which uses gstreamer as its base multimedia player.

Has anyone had any success? If so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Mandy

To play dvd's with menu support you need to use libdvdcss2, and the totem-xine back end along with these files libxine-extracodecs, and libdvdnav4

To get those above files do the following.
wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Followed by.
sudo wget http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Finally, run
sudo aptitude update

You can now install your codecs. See below.
sudo aptitude install totem-xine libdvdcss2 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libxine-extracodecs libdvdnav4

Or if you want to play them without menu support (gstreamer0.10) support:

sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

Thanks. I am able to watch DVDs with totem xine but I still get the message in Elisa. "no player installed" whenever I try and view a DVD. I thought it was a gstreamer configuration issue since it uses gstreamer to view and play its media files but it may just be an error in Elisa, I am using version 0.3.1.
