    Well I did install Automatix. I wonder if thats the prob. We never tested a movie DVD beforehand.

    Re: DVDs dont play

    I am not longer getting DVD playback errors after setting the DVD region code using "regionset" in the terminal (you'll also have to install regionset before running it).

    Re: DVDs dont play

    the problem is 64bit doesnt have a good (or working) libdvdcss2.

    Go to the medibuntu wiki's page (google search).

    add the repo, and update your libdvdcss2 (or install it) done!

    Detailed How To Coming Soon!

    sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 w64codecs

    Also, be careful with regionset. There may be a limit to how many times you can change it before it sticks.

    Re: DVDs dont play

    I'm having the same problem with my serval performance (serp4). I've gone through all the mediubuntu stuff, installed libdvdcss2 and w64codecs. I'm running totem-xine and get this error message when I try to play a dvd:

    "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?"

    Since this is a 64-bit problem, I'm assuming, unless someone tells me otherwise, should I expect a solution anytime soon? or will I never get to watch "Reign Over Me" on my laptop?

    Thanks for any help I can get,

    Ryan

    It's already installed. That's my problem. I've installed and reinstalled and reinstalled everything this forum and about a dozen others told me to and still nothing. Any other ideas?

    Re: DVDs dont play

    If you have Automatix installed, that could well be playing into the problem. Historically, we've seen a number of codec related problems with automatix.

    I'd try uninstalling it, and then trying Kevin's link above. Or this one (be sure to read the note on 64-bit...)...

    Re: DVDs dont play

    Ok so I uninstalled the version of libdvdcss2 I originally had and installed the package kevin suggested. I tried to play a dvd and I got the same error. So then I followed the howto. It updated libdvdcss2 back to the one I originally had (from medibuntu repository) and I still get the error. Any other suggestions?


    btw I have the medibuntu repository, libdvdcss2, w64codecs. Basically everything I'm suppose to need to play dvds. But I can't. oh and I don't have automatix either.

    Re: DVDs dont play

    OK, Here is how I just got perfect DVD playback. This is on a fresh install of Hardy 64-bit, on a GazV5. Run these commands from a terminal.

    Code:
    sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/ap/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install vlc libdvdcss2 ubuntu-restricted-extras w64codecs
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install totem-xine
    Code:
    sudo update-alternatives --config totem
    choose 2
