Movie Player won't play DVDs

Asked by Pat

I've already done these:-

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

But when I select Movie>Play Disc 'LOG_PAL' the Movie Player app vanishes. Crashes, presumably. What's the problem?

You need libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repo

I'm new to all this. Is this the right command?
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

I've done it and tried again. Same result.

Do you have the medibuntu repo added?

It is not on the default repos

Okay, I've done the commands in "Adding the Repository". Then I executed " sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" again. Same result. Movie Player vanishes.

Does it play in other apps (mplayer or vlc for example)

I've just done a reboot, and then tried it again. Now it works - so far. But I'll wait a couple of days before saying it's solved. But thanks in the meantime.

Can you help with this problem?
