no css dvd's work in feisty

I can confirm this with the current version of libdvdread3 in Feisty (0.9.7-2); I was able to work around it by installing a package from Edgy (0.9.6-3ubuntu1).

this is due to install-css.sh not being installed, nor the user running it. is this really a good solution?

not true. I've upgraded this laptop from when it was running dapper.
libcss was installed already, it was a libdvdread issue, when I
downgraded to edgy's version (of libdvdread) it works perfectly.

Its possible that the upgrade to Feisty caused the installed css to no longer function and produce the problem. Then when you reinstalled the package from Edgy (Which contains the CSS installer) everything would once again be ok.

That said, the install-css.sh file really needs to be included in libdvdread3 within Feisty, particularly if it does break when upgrading from a previous version.

As an alternative to using the Edgy package, it is sufficient to simply run the install-css.sh script (Attached) after installing the Feisty libdvdread3 package.

Please also note that "Music, Videos and Photos" guide says:
<quote>install the following package [...]
  * libdvdcss2
</quote>
but there is no libdvdcss2 package available in main, universe or multiverse repository :-(

Due to Debian #390544, please use this fixed version of the script.

 libdvdread (0.9.7-2ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
 .
   * Re-add missing install-css.sh, after fixing flaws from Debian #390544,
     (LP: #77097).
   * debian/control: adjust Maintainer field, add Suggests for install-css.sh
   * debian/rules: install install-css.sh, leave perms executable.

If one read my comments, it wasn't an issue of not having libdvdcss installed as it was (from edgy or dapper days). It was an issue of the updated version of libdvdread not working with libdvdcss, so unsure if just including the script fixes that problem.

That maybe the case for you,however. the current version of feisty had the
*script* removed from the package thus rendering the installing useless to
the end user. That is what i was bringing to the dev's attention.

As for dvd's running them on a clean edgy install they ran fine for
me,however. I'm not sure if you can do a clean install,and retest. this
would at least allow you to find out if the issue was due to your
dist-upgrading from dapper to edgy.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled libdvdcss w/ different versions of libdvdread3. It didn't work w/ the version in feisty (hence my bug report title "no css dvd's work in feisty") but it did work w/ the version in edgy (which is what I have pinned in apt right now). As I'm overseas right now and have no access to my DVDs, I can't test to see if this is still the issue.

in feisty the libdvdread3 file was missing the CSS script thus the end user
could not play certain files. a fix should be released according the bug
report.

You would have to install feisty and see if the package in question has been
updated.

If it has not then you will have to manually install package. At least till
the one in the repo is updated.

how would I have filed a bug report "no css dvd's work in feisty" if I wasn't running feisty?

the bug that was fixed wasn't the bug that I filed, albiet somewhat related. I HAD libdvdcss already installed. The bug I filed was that the newest version of libdvdread3 in feisty DID NOT WORK with libdvdcss.

what am I not being clear about?

Hi Shaya, sorry for the confusion. There were several other bugs reported about the install-css.sh script. Can you open a new bug for the problem you're seeing with the resulting libdvdcss2? I haven't been able to reproduce what you're describing.

I probably wont be able to duplicate this till the middle of April as
I'm in Israel till then (and all my DVDs are in the US).

rerunning the /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh script worked for me.

just to update the latest libdvdread package in ubuntu-7.04 64bit depends on build-essential.

Not sure if this was how it was to be or not.

I ran sudo/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
But I still get this from Gxine: No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.
And this from Kaffeine: No plugin found to handle this resource (dvd:///dev/scd0)

From what i could gather install-css.sh requires build-essential
fakeroot debhelper.
Which was reported here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdread/+bug/105963

Try running sudo aptitude install libdvdread3 build-essential fakeroot debhelper

After which you should be able to run sudo
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

And it should build the package you need.

I installed Automatix. Then installed the Multimedia
Codecs with Automatix. Now ALL the dvd players work
wonderfully. Thank you for your help.
