DVD Movie Playback

[LeoNigro]

Note: This issue will be resolved in Commodore OS Update 1.

The way DVD codecs are handled is rather painful unfortunately.

Cut/Paste the following command in the CLI.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y install libdvd-pkg && sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg && sudo apt-get -y install regionset libavcodec-extra

There will be a window prompt of some sort to download and compile the code, so just click next.

Then you need to have a DVD inserted before you enter the following.

Code: Select all

sudo regionset

It's so stupid it doesn't even present you with a list of the codes. It just asks for a number, so use the one for your DVD's region below.

There are eight region codes possible, currently six are used:

1 – North America (USA and Canada)
2 – Europe, Middle East, South Africa and Japan
3 – Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea
4 – Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 – Former Soviet Union (Russia, Ukraine, etc.), rest of Africa, India
6 – China

Presumably, it remembers the region and you aren't required to enter this every time.
I think I will make this an option under Commodore OS --> Additional Features in the next update.

I've just tested this and am confident that it will work.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
