I used to have Ubuntu 16.04 and I always could play DVDs with VLC. However, after an update to 18.04 I cannot do that anymore.
I have already tried the following:
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo apt install libavcodec-extra
sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
I have also installed libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4 and libdvdcss2.
But when after I put the disc in and try to load it in VLC, I see the opening screen of the DVD for a few seconds after which it disappears again.
Can anyone help? thanks!
this is what appears in the terminal:
