Description Rodd Clarkson 2008-05-06 03:56:46 UTC
Description of problem:

Shortly after install f9-preview and installing the necessary livna
gst-plugins-* totem played DVDs.  I couldn't get the DVD menu to work, but it
played the movie and navigation worked well (which was a big improvement).

Since this time an update in rawhide (or possibly livna, but I don't think so)
has resulted in DVD playback no longer working.  I know get a message saying
that I don't have the necessary plugins.

I've also tried the old dvd:///[0-9] method of playback, but this doesn't work
either.

You're probably missing a decent mpeg demuxer:

What the actual error message you're getting?

Message when a DVD is inserted in the drive

This is what I see when I put a DVD in the drive and then tell it to play the
DVD.

Message when I try to play DVD from File menu

This is what I get when I try to play the inserted DVD from the File menu

Is the disc encrypted? DVD playback works for me with the gstreamer and xine
backends.

Comment 5 Rodd Clarkson 2008-05-06 12:41:01 UTC
Most likely.  But when I first installed f9-preview (and related livna packages)
it played fine.  So something has gone wrong between then and now.

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:42:03 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2008-05-19 09:30:06 UTC
Note: are you sure you are using the GStreamer backend of Totem. Check the about
box please, and run "totem-backend -b gstreamer" as root if GStreamer isn't
being used.

About Totem (using gstreamer)

This is the about dialog.  I'm pretty sure this means I'm using gstreamer.

Comment 9 Rodd Clarkson 2008-05-19 11:18:45 UTC
Argh, I've just read back over the comments and you are right.  I wasn't using
gstreamer (xine had been installed at some stage, but I didn't do it).

I thought I posted this (so I'm wondering where I posted it) but I did comment
somewhere that I removed xine and switched back to gstreamer and could play
DVD's again, but that the seek stuff wasn't working.

Argh. I'm going to track down where I stuffed up and clear the water and close
some bugs.

Comment 10 Rodd Clarkson 2008-05-19 11:23:07 UTC
I'm going to close this.

The problem with seeking seems to be reported in #445491 and I don't know where
that other comment about using xine went.
