Since release of LibreELEC 12 physical DVD disc playback is not working anymore on my setup.
For validation I tried a Live USB Stick with LibreELEC 11, which was working fine.
I have tried a development build of LibreELEC 13 on a Live USB Stick (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20250622-a162b37),
but with no success - same issue as with version 12.
My setup:
LibreELEC 12.0.2 (Generic x86 64)
Asrock J3455-ITX (Intel Apollo Lake)
Lite-On iHOS104 BD Drive
Log excerpts showing the issue imho (Live USB Generic.x86_64-12.0.2):

... and this is what it looks like on LE11 (Live USB Generic.x86_64-11.0.6, same DVD disc as before):

From the warning "Libdvd: Can't seek to block 256" it looks like the disc is unreadable, but since it is playable with LE11 this might be another issue.
I can provide full Logs, if needed.
Anyone else out there who still uses physical DVD discs with LE12 and got it working?
Thanks and regards,
Marco
