Hi, I too am unable to play DVDs in MythTV. Have tried Sex and the City
boxset 1 and also a UK documentary by Ray Mears that is known not to be
region specific.

I installed from Mythbuntu 10.04 and running dpkg -l mythtv-frontend
gives

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv


Whey playing a dvd, it starts, but I can only see the previews, It keeps jumping back to either the copyright notice or previews. I get the following errors:

Using mythtv 0.23.0+fixes25423-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2

Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release:	10.04

I can play the dvd fine with VLC.

The bug looks similar to me to #566003.  I decided to open a new one because the error messages look different. Please mark it as duplicate if it is the same bug.
