You where right, the region-code was not set, the DVD is now working! I will test more DVDs in the coming weeks, but so far, thank you very much for your help!
And, by the way (and instead of complaining...), I like the whole system very very much, great work!
And here it is:
Region code I will find out, but I don't think that's the problem, because I tried the same external player with this DVD on my notebook (Suse-Linux), and everything works fine.
I have just rebuild the whole system on a second micro-SD from scratch, libreelec sources form this website, and added only the german-language-addOn - still the same problem(s).
Am I really the only one with DVD-problems - or the only one here, who is using DVDs? Its not only this special DVD-collection, I have problems all the time, DVDs not starting or only after reboot, and later stopping midway through playing. This is really very anoying.
Any idea or hint, where the problem may be?
I removed it, but without effect - here is the new kodi.log:
and here it is:
Hi,
I have a problem playing some DVDs (all from Ken Burns Civil-War-documentary; maybe others too, I have too much to test them all).
My System:
Raspberry 3, Libreelec 8.0.2, Kodi 17 (Krypton), external DVD-Player (LiteOn)
The problem:
When I push the ‘Disc’-Button, nothing happens (no DVD-menu, no movie), instead the GUI freezes. The only solution is to unplug the player, then the GUI is working again, except the ‘Disc’-Button, that is gone.
This is from kodi.log after unplugging the DVD-player:

And I just found out that It is possible to start the DVD-menu from the file-manager.
These DVDs are playing well on all my other devices (Standalone DVD-player, XBOX, Linux-Notebook). I can plug-in the LiteOn external DVD-player into my notebook, and can play the movie with Kafeine or Mplayer.
I have other problems with DVDs too, some will only start after a reboot with the DVD in the player or after some attempts to start them; sometimes the movie stops somewhere in the middle, but I don’t now, if these problems are related. All DVDs are clean and working on my other systems.
Its very frustrating, everything else is working fine and I really like the whole thing very much.
Thanks, I thought so myself, because most of my DVD are working.
The strange thing ist, that there is an independent libdvdnav lib. So this one is not statically build in, but libdvdcss is? I was a bit bewildered about.
Hi,
I have the latest libreelec / Kodi on an Raspberry pi 3 (pre-installed) up and running, but I can't find any libdvdcss. I tried a ' find / -name "libdvdcss*" ', but get nothing. Shouldn't the lib be in /usr/lib/kodi/players/VideoPlayers? That is where I found libDVDnav. Or has it another name in libreelec?
Thanks in advance!
