    Medibuntu is no longer maintained.

    libdvdread4 is in the repo. Install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras to get it.

    Re: can't install libdvdread4

    To continue to use "/usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" to install libdvdcss2 then atm users of 12.04, 12.10 & 13.04 will need to install libdvdread4 from the proposed repo, the new libdvdread 4 is already in 13.10

    Basically -
    Open software sources (software and updates in some releases)
    Under 'updates' tab enable the proposed repo
    Update your sources ( sudo apt-get update
    Install or upgrade libdvdread4

    After libdvdread4 is installed or updated then re-open software sources, disable the proposed repo, update your sources again
    (not all packages in proposed are suitable for upgrading so best to disable after using for a specific package(s)

    The new libdvdread4 has an updated install-css.sh that will install libdvdcss2 from a videolan repo

    Re: can't install libdvdread4

    I just upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04. and I could no longer get to the medibuntu repo either. From following others posts, here was my most direct course of action to get Libdvdread4 working on my machine.
    Libdvdread4 is already part of 13.04 so no need to try and install.
    Install Ubuntu Restricted Extras from your software center first.
    Then run the commmand: Sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh and it should pull down the codecs from videolan instead of medibuntu since it is no longer maintained. Reboot your machine and you should be up and running.
