DVD playback does not work

Post by Tonne M »

I have tried just about anything I could think of but I have a few DVD's on my (external) harddrive and none of them will play.
My tv is a Panasonic Vierra E30 series. On the tv all that is shown is some album art and the proper .ifo file.
Choosing that takes me to the content of the DVD (8 titles) but choosing one of the titles only gives me a black screen for a second or less.
Then it returns to the content.

I have studied the debug file for an extended period but I am unable to find what is really wrong here.

Attached is the Trace file

Let me put it this way: does anyone have the ability to play DVD's (ISO/VOB) through UMS in Linux?
I am using Mint 17.

So far I have found that I can't play anything using Mencoder. To try this I use the "Transcode folder".
FFMPEG only works without subs. But that's beside the point here.
So it's not only DVD's that can't be played with Mencoder. I get about the same error(s) in my TRACE log.
