[Bug 1928017] Re: The Restriced Codecs article recommends an application that was recently discontinued
Thanks for calling our attention to this. It affects both ubuntu-docs
and gnome-user-docs, so I submitted an upstream issue as well.

The Restriced Codecs article recommends an application that was

Bug description:

These two help articles both recommend the Fluendo DVD Player for
legally playing DVDs. However, Fluendo announced that they would be
discontinuing their product as of April 11, 2021, and new licenses
don't appear to be available anymore (https://fluendo.com/en/blog/post
/oneplay-dvd-player-product-discontinuation/). As such, these
instructions are no longer accurate.
The AskUbuntu community is currently searching for alternatives
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/1337426/legally-playing-dvds-post-
april-2021), but, in the mean-time, at least a note saying that the
software was discontinued will be helpful.
