It is definitely a software problem as the different region DVDs work in Windows fine on the same box. Just I do not know how to fix it for Linux yet. How sure of this are you? Because the same PC with the same drive (but when it used to be on windows) played DVDs fine. Now I am running it on linux and now I have this problem.
Hence it is a software problem as the hardware is identical.
Yes, indeed. What software have you tried, kodi only? Try xine, mplayer, vlc, see if they all have the same problem. What I know is that I haven't ever set the region in any of my drives. In fact, I do not know this instant how to find the region set of them.
If it is strictly software enforcing the region Then how sure are you that you are running the correct libdvdcss2? I am using from the repos libdvdcss2 1.4.0-1~local
But surely this is the correct version?If I have a DVD that won't play, copy it and remove the region code from video_ts.ifo it plays. Which means it had successfully de-crpyted it otherwise it wouldn't play.
And also the data appears for that disc's ID in ~/.dvdcss (or whatever the correct path is, I don't have access to check right now).
Yes, I see the tittles of movies I watched in there. I only have a few DVDs, all European as far as I know. I can't test with DVDs from other regions, I don't know how to obtain them. How can one find out the region of a DVD? You mentioned a file, how? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
