Benjamin, yes all packages were installed and the DVD issue is also with 2.0.1.
Rémi, I didn't attempt to play any DVD neither en- nor decrypted.

So far the playlist is unusable since 12.04 and was fine in 11.10.

It also doesn't open per media dialog, neither file nor directory.
(Although 2.0.3 is installed it states 2.0.1)
This is the output when attempting to open a file or directory per media dialog.
