Hi,

I've just re-installed my creaking Ubuntu 10.04 system with a fresh Ubuntu 16.04, and have installed Kodi. On this re-installed system, I cannot play any of the .ISO rips of my DVD collection, including any ISOs of DVDs I originally authored myself. The old 10.04/XBMC system could play these files.

I do not believe it's a libdvdcss issues, since I've installed the libdvd-pkg package and have confirmed that VLC on the same machine can play the same .ISO files, plus, as I say, I also can't play my own authored, non-encrypted DVD ISOs. When I play the ISO, I get a Waiting widget that never goes away. If I press Stop, the Waiting animation freezes and I cannot do anything else, my only option is to do "killall -KILL kodi.bin".

System is Ubuntu 16.04LTS up-to-date as of 2016/05/27, Kodi 15.2, kernel 4.4.0-22-generic.
Arch is x86_64.
CPU: Intel® Atom™ CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz
System: Aspire R3700
GIT revision is helpfully (unknown)(Compiled: 15.2+dfsg1-3ubuntu1).

Debug-enabled kodi.log is here:

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get this working. I have spent a fair amount of time ripping my DVD collection, and being unable to access it on my Kodi system is quite a pain.

Cheers,

Kodi from Debian -> this debianized build is not supported by us. Try with our PPA(s) or report to debian.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I'll try your PPAs, since I'm guessing they'll probably be updated more frequently/reliably anyway, plus the whole support thing! I'll come back if I've still got issues.

Thanks again.

Bingo. Kodi 16.1 from your PPAs works perfectly. DVD ISO playback all good. Many thanks.
