Movie Player

Asked by Justine

Hello, I went through all the questions and can not find the answer I am looking for. I have Ubuntu 8.04. I am having problems with Movie Player. It recognizes that there is a dvd but it will not play it. I have tried downloading Libdvd2 and libdvd3. I have tried everything i have read. I do not know what is going on. Can someone please help me? If you need more information, please ask. Thanks.

I am sorry but that did not work. I clicked play and it went back to paused.

You'll need libdvdcss2 - It's hosted in an additional repo:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

That should do it.

Can you help with this problem?
