Can't play DVD

[Charles Cunningham]

I am using:
Linux Mint 12, Gnome-shell 3.2.1, Audience version: 0.1-0~r94+pkg5~oneiric1

When I select "Watch a DVD" nothing happens
This is what I see when I run audience from a shell and select "Watch a DVD"

I hope that this helps.

Same bug on Ubuntu.

[Pim Vullers (pimvullers)]

I do not have a dvd player on my personal laptop, and at work I do not
have a DVD disc :)

So Cody, Tom, if one of you can have a look at this?

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Tom is aware of it, DVD support is painful to implement.

[Eduard Gotwig (gotwig)]

Is there a chance to take some code from totem for adding dvd playback support?

[Eduard Gotwig (gotwig)]

If gets implemented, how about a dialog for installing codecs for playing encrypted DVD's? ( with legaly issue warnings, and such stuff)

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

ok, dvd should now be working, the general support meaning preview and goto menu and chapters if possible will hopefully be added later too.

Now it works pretty fine on Ubuntu 11.10.
Thanks! :)

[Charles Cunningham (d7-charles-4w)]

Works great on Linux Mint 12 too.

Thanks

I am running eOS Luna / Ubuntu 12.04 and Audience 0.1 and when I try to play a DVD I get "No URI set".

Looks to me like it's looking for the dvd in the wrong place, so gets nothing. I usually have to specify /dev/sr0 for my DVD (actually BDRW) drive.

Re #9 and #10

I got this:
[_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG 20:46:27.361434] Audience.vala:617: Opening dvd:///
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.13 for DVD access

/dev/sda1 is my hard drive.
Can I change the drive path, and how ?
