something's burning !!
I never added medibuntu repositories to my default ones (the default "Ubuntu" repositories) and I never needed to add 'anything' except installing VLC and restricted extras to be able to play DVDs.
Did you follow the suggestions in this thread? Just install these and try playing again -
If you still can't play DVDs, run the player (I'd recommend VLC) from terminal and post back the messages it leaves in the terminal.Code:sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdread4

hi everyone, thanks for all the support
@Varunendra - thank you, I got thie following response:
I'm still having problems and have followed the terminal commands you've given...Code:christmaspudding@Christmas:~$ vlc VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower (revision 2.0.8a-0-g68cf50b) [0x1029108] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
first I did this:
...which I take to mean that's all up to date. Then, when I went onto give the terminal the next one I get this:Code:christmaspudding@Christmas:~$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 ubuntu-restricted-extras [sudo] password for christmaspudding: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libdvdread4 is already the newest version. ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I've already got the regionset package installed and set to my region, that was ok. Popped in a dvd...but nada...not a squeak.Code:christmaspudding@Christmas:~$ sudo /usr/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh sudo: /usr/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh: command not found
So, I've run the following as was hinted earlier in the thread and hope it might spread a bit of light on the situation for us?? Here goes:

Thanks again for all the support, I hope you can still help?
Edit: just found out that mediabuntu repositories are now closed, maybe this helps??

That's from when only opening vlc. Try playing the DVD (see post #6) and see what other messages appear in the terminal.
..And..
Oops !! That has to be "/usr/share/doc...." not "/usr/doc", ....... all blame goes to mc4man, I take none..Code:christmaspudding@Christmas:~$ sudo /usr/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh sudo: /usr/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh: command not found

Ok, so after running the correct command I got:
And after trying to run a dvd, selecting crtl-d and trying to play the dvd I got:Code:christmaspudding@Christmas:~$ sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh --2013-10-11 13:27:45-- http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/...amd64/Packages Resolving packages.medibuntu.org (packages.medibuntu.org)... 88.191.127.22 Connecting to packages.medibuntu.org (packages.medibuntu.org)|88.191.127.22|:80... connected.

Thanks again for the continued support

Well-well... now I can see what the sudden fuss about DVDs is all about. That script (the older version that most of us have) tries to pull the packages from the same medibuntu repo that is now closed. So even though *I* didn't add medibuntu repos, the packages eventually came from there.
Fortunately, there is a fix that mc4man already pointed to. You need to follow the instructions in his post he linked to in post #12 : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...1#post12812210
In short,
Enable "Proposed" repos > Install/Upgrade "libdvdread4" to upgrade the script > disable the "Proposed" repos > run the script again -
..and come back to say thanks to mc4man (all credit goes to mc4man, I get noneCode:sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh)!
Thankful for This Title
@euanbuntu: You're making it overly difficult...
Code:cd ~/ wget http://download.videolan.org/pub/ubuntu/raring/libdvdcss2_1.2.13-0_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.13-0_amd64.deb
Tea Glorious Tea!
Thanks, Temujin! That's a LOT easier. I just reinstalled Lubuntu 13.04 and have been going about changing what I want and then I ran into the DVD issue. Perhaps you should volunteer your solution to the Documentation. I'm sure it would be much appreciated. Once again, thanks.
Edit: I have submitted Temujin's fix with credit due as a Document bug report. Hopefully, it will be updated soon.

@zer010: You're welcome. Those exact instructions only work for raring 64-bit, so I hope you noted that.
I'm hoping that the updated dvdread packages go from proposed to main repos any time now and make workarounds unnecessary...Perhaps you should volunteer your solution to the Documentation.
