DVD Movies on 14.2

Does anyone else have problems with viewing DVD movies on Slackware 14.2?

With either Xine or Alien Bob's VLC I get entries like the following in /var/log/messages:

I've seen this problem on three different hosts, two of which play DVDs just fine on Slackware 14.1.

I have libdvdcss 1.4.0 installed.

VLC will read the title and length of the movie but will gracefully decline to play it. Xine will sometimes run the copyright warnings before giving up. Other times it will tell me I don't have enough rights to read or the source doesn't contain data. The current user has read and write permissions on /dev/sr0 through the cdrom group.

Any suggestions?

This seems like a hardware problem.

Unplug and plug in the optical drive sata/ide cable,

Did you try another dvd ?

It's not a hardware problem. I get the same problem with a particular DVD, a disc that reads without any errors on 14.1 on the exact same hardware. All other DVDs I have seem to read fine.

from dmesg upon inserting the disc:

Googling the problem didn't help much. Only seemingly relevant hit I could find was this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118621

Have you checked that the media tab points to the dvd device. I had to change them ( device used for DVD access and raw device set up for DVD access) to /dev/sr0. Even though there are links from dvd -> sr0

I've now gotten DVD playback for a number of DVDs on Slackware 14.2. Still some DVDs fail consistently in the same way while working on Slackware 14.1. My best guess right now is a problem with libdvdcss on Linux kernel versions above 4.0.

I haven't had any issues with mplayer.

I see the same problem and messages with MPlayer, I'm afraid, with the additional problem of it lacking video on disks that work with VLC. :^)

I get a little flicker with VLC, but that has been going on with the last couple of versions of VLC.
SMPlayer, a front end for MPlayer, works perfectly.

Did you install Eric's libdvdcss package?

No. I built version 1.4.0 on all the systems concerned.

I've tried the problematic DVDs with recent versions of Ubuntu and Fedora, both with kernel versions of 4.4+, and they encounter the same problem. I get playback with these DVDs on kernel version 3. The solution is probably outside the scope of this forum.
