DVDs dont play

**iheartubuntu** · April 23rd, 2008

Getting this error message:

Totem could not play "dvd:/".

The source seems encrypted, and cant be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?

I checked Synaptic and libdvdcss is installed already.

The problem is it already installed. libdvdcss is installed too and yet playing a DVD movie doesnt work. The drive itself works fine.

Any suggestions from System76? Thanks.

This happened to me too. I installed Totem-xine rather that the default. I think I also installed Automatix and some codecs from in there, but try totem-xine first.

I am sure that System76 folks would appreciate it is you also posted which machine you have - I remember something that was model specific related to this situation.
