Fedora 25-Kodi Insert Disc Error
#1
I posted a similar topic in the wrong forum it looks like.
I Re-imaged my HDD with Fedora 25 and re-installed Kodi. Kodi now has problems with DVD playback. It will not recognize a disc is inserted and says please insert disc when clicking the proper IFO file. I also have several DVD folders on my computer, and Kodi will no longer play any of the IFO files. Basically, DVD playback has completely stopped working. I dont really know where to begin or how to troubleshoot. I have RPM Fusion free/non-free and installed VLC through that and have GSStreamer codecs and libdvdcss installed.

Sounds like fedora/rpmfusion packaging issue. You can post a Debug Log here first, but be prepared to file the bug against your distro.
If you can, try compiling vanilla kodi from source.

I don't know the difference or why there is old log and log, so here they both are.

Kodi Old Log
This log, I can see the DVD playback errors on the bottom. I think it has something to do with: libdvdnav-x86_64-linux
EDIT: Looks like a F24 version is installed, is that the problem?
sudo dnf list installed | grep libdvdnav libdvdnav.x86_64 5.0.3-4.fc24 @Anaconda

Kodi Log

I dont have technical skills to be compiling programs from source, I'm just a basic user.

as suspected, this looks like a fedora/rpmfusion packaging issue. Seems the build without dvdnav

your options are:
- file a bug against rpmfusion.
- compile from source
- use another distro: we provide official packages for ubuntu

Went ahead and filed a bug with rpmfusion. I'll have to decide what to do in the meantime. Thanks for your help on this.

The kodi package in RPMFusion dropped optical drive support because starting with version 17 it ships custom libdvd* libraries instead of working with upstream. These custom libraries include libdvdcss, which is prohibited in RPMFusion.

Once Kodi stops shipping custom libraries we can enable support.

Shipping libdvdcss in other distros doesn't make it any more legal.

FYI Kodi _can_ be built with libdvdnav but without libdvdcss https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ts.txt#L42
There was a autotools --disable-dvdcss switch for earlier versions too...
Which would allow playing user's legally owned and already decrypted by other means dvds (ifo) .

I wouldn't be surprised if Kodi devs denied support for such poorly built distro/repo packages whose maintainers did not even bother to look at available configure-time options.

yup, we do not support those packages here.

There is no "disable-dvdcss" option for Kodi 17.

Yes, you are correct, it was there tho, I remember it.
