Hi all!
I'm trying to finish setting up my newly upgraded C7 system.
It's on the same hardware I ran C6 on for several years. on C6 I had no
trouble playing DVDs (after installing tons of packages and libdvdcss).
....
I have found that whether VLC will play a DVD is somewhat dependent
on the DVD. I have played DVD's through VLC successfully on my
CentOS 7 system using the nux package stack, incidentally, but there
are several DVD's in my collection that will not play with the VLC
in nux dextop. But I also purchased (the very first version a
number of years ago) and keep support updated for the Fluendo
OnePlay DVD player (fully legal, licensed, DVD playback) and it both
works perfectly on CentOS 7 and plays those titles that VLC has
trouble with (like the DVD copy included in the Bluray edition of
Titanic).
I don't play a LOT of DVDs, but on, e.g., C6 on the same hardware
I don't recall ever having onefail to play with VLC.
In looking at the source package for libdvdcss, last night, I see there
are 3 different ways of cracking the encryption that it supports. The
default one is to try to crack each file's encryption, with the down-side
that it may fail entirely. there is also an option to crack the DISC's
key which can then be used to decrypt each file. from the description
it sounds as if the disc option might be better even though it isn't
the default.
If all else fails I will try hacking around with that option.
OK, I haven't gotten very far, but there is one interesting observation:
vlc plays my homemade NON-encrypted DVDs just fine (except for the
DVD menus, on which for some reason it errors). This kinda hints that
VLC is not finding/opening libdvdcss even though I'm using the one
from the nux repos, same as the source of the VLC RPM I have.
One would think that nux's VLC would work with nux's libdvdcss, but
this evidence makes me wonder...
If nux is here, or if anyone here uses nux's vlc and libdvdcss with
SUCCESS, I'd appreciate hearing from them.
Fred
PS:
I'm not having any luck compiling libdvdcss from source... using
rpmbuild to create a RPM I keep getting errors about "unpackaged files
found", and can't figure out why or how to solve it (yes I've googled
for solutions).
Try this src.rpm
http://awel.domblogger.net/7/media/src/repoview/libdvdcss.html
That builds for me on EL7 in mock
