The following is the result when I run VLC directly to the drive from a
terminal:

jlxbm@jlxbm:~$ vlc /dev/sr0

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 -17.10 unable to access DVD

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I can not access a DVD disk on 16.04, thru 17.10 installs. I have been
  here before with 16.02 but was able to get it to work. I have followed
  all the recommended procedures for this well known issue and have
  gained nothing,

  I have been to ask ubuntu as well as answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/
  These solutions do not fix the issue.

  With the same drive, I can put in a data disk and it works immediately
  every time. The system sees the drive. But when I put in a DVD -
  nothing. VLC + Kodi + all other dvd reading software can not open the
  file system..

  Like I said earlier... This same computer and same drive worked
  perfectly under 16.02.x

  libdvd-pkg
  libdvdread4 libdvdnav4
  libxvidcore4
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-base
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
  gstreamer1.0-alsa
  gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  Codecs - all installed

  Are all installed successfully

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg - tells me it is already installed.

  /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh` - does not exist in these
  ubuntu versions and can not be executed.

  I have hooked up external dvd drives - same issue. They read data but
  not DVDs

  Am I missing something?

  Thanks for your assistance!
