Problem opening DVDs - "failed to open/read the DVD"
#1
A few days ago the SVN version of XBMC failed to open DVDs on Linux.

XBMC log of error at http://pastebin.com/m47bd164e

dvd://1 opens fine through mplayer so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Thought it was related to the libDVDCSS changes to the Makefile.in file in xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/Codecs.

I've changed the file so the libDVDCSS libraries are built based on the actual variable, but that didn't seem to resolve the issue.

Code:
@@ -32,7 +37,7 @@
endif

# Allows us to optionally build xbmc with DVDCSS support
-ifeq (0,1)
+ifeq (@BUILD_DVDCSS@,1)
   DIRS += libDVDCSS
   LIBS += libDVDCSS-$(ARCH).so
   DVDCSS_LA = libDVDCSS/src/libdvdcss.la

Anyone else having DVD playback problems on Linux?

I didn't notice when this started happening but I've had this issue for awhile now running daily svn updates.

Autoplay and play disc do nothing at all, my error log is roughly the same as yours.

Someone has already opened a trac ticket for this. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5721

Seems to be working in r17286.

Auto play doesn't work for me, it starts then stops, but selecting play disc works 100%.

Can you check your eject capabilities, I have to suspend and resume to eject after viewing the dvd, so it's not umounting following playback stop it seems.

Eject is working fine for me.

I had to hit the button twice but I assume this is just due to the craptastic nature of the ancient dvd-rom drive I'm using.
