Unable to connect to Medibuntu repository

Asked by vDub2000

I have not been able to connect to the Medibuntu repository for the past couple days when I run apt-get in either Ubuntu or Linux Mint. When I tried to visit http://packages.medibuntu.org in my web browser, I wasn't able to connect that way either.

I was wondering why this is occurring and when the server can be expected to come back up?

There is a known problem with the servers being offline. It might be a few days before we can resolve this problem. See the announcements on

Many apologies and regards from

Hi again

Someone suggested installing libdvdcss directly from the videolan website
http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html
this download
http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/
in order to play commercial/rental dvds

For mplayer & the w32codecs try

Many apologies and regards from
