dvdread != decss/libdvdcss.

I also followed a "things to do after installing Fedora 26" guide of which DVD was a major part. This hasn't helped either. On Ubuntu 17.10 I did the usual "restricted-extras" thing and that didn't work there anymore either. I've checked the dvd region of the drive (using "regionset") and that correctly shows the region of "2". This is driving me nuts when I should really be "fine tuning" Eclipse / Android Studio / Java .. etc... etc... etc...... 20+ years of installing Linux and still get sidetracked every darned time !!!

You mention several distros...hard to give advice when we don't know what you're using now. But:
Fedora 26: "yum install libdvdcss" (note: may be libdvdcss2)
Ubuntu 17: "sudo apt install libdvd-pkg && sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg"
DVDread is for non-encrypted DVD's (few and far between: thank DRM for this). DVDCSS is the decryption library allowing you to decrypt the stream.
