Thanks Eion and all. So what I am hearing is that there are two possible issues: 1. Not enough rights to play a dvd 2. The actual player might be made for windows. I will order another player or try to cobble my internal player
some sort of connection. That worked without any problems! On 10/12/2018 10:24 am, Eion MacDonald

(It [CODECS and right to use licence] are within the Windows OS up to version windows 7, maybe 8 - 8.1 but windows 10 does NOT include proprietary CODECS (saves Microsoft money) and thus the DVD with copyright protection plays OK. Normally libdvdcss installed cures that. However check your exact distro requirement to play protected DVDs. Some will not except by going outside the legal distro repositories (USA based distros risk infinite amounts of money in lawsuits if they give access to DVDs).
