An Error Occurred Could Not Read From Resource Ubuntu 10.04
movies, even in the software repositories. If you don't have the necessary software, Movie Player will give you the error: An error occurred: Could not read from resource. If you reinstall Ubuntu for every new release like I do, this is problem you may repeatedly come across. My previous instructions have gotten slightly out of date now, so here's how to enable commercial DVD playback in Ubuntu 10.04 or later. Make sure the package libdvdread4 is installed. If you've installed the very useful Ubuntu Restricted Extras, you will already have it. Otherwise, install it using the Ubuntu Software Center or using the command below: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 Next you need to install the software for decryption of DVDs. Make sure you've closed any package management software like the Software Center. Open a terminal and run the command below (you will be prompted for your password): gksu /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh After completing the process you may have to eject the disk and re-insert it. Ubuntu's movie player application should now be able to play DVDs, including DVD menus. If you have any trouble, VLC media player is another good player and is available in the Software Center. See the Ubuntu documentation for more on DVD playback. Enjoyed this post? Subscribe to Tombuntu's RSS feed.

2007-05-27 This bug report is a duplicate of: Bug #41335: DVD playing is not working correctly with totem-gstreamer. Edit Remove 12 Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone totem (Ubuntu) Edit Invalid Low Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Edit Also affects project (?) Also affects distribution/package Nominate for series Bug Description Binary package hint: totem Upon inserting a known good DVD into a known good DVD drive, Totem Movie Player auto opens immediately followed by an error message. Error message says: "An error occurred. Could http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/09/12/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-10-04/ not read from resource." I have done much research and investigation to find a solution and allow Totem Movie Player to successfully play a DVD movie, all to no avail. Research includes but is not limited to; scouring the launchpad site, scouring the Ubuntu documented sites, searching external Linux/Ubuntu websites, and asking a Linux/Ubuntu knowledgeable co-worker. All of these https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117240 sources either provided information irrelevant to my problem, or their suggestion(s) did not resolve the issue. Steps I have taken include re seating/reinstalling the DVD drive, updating all packages, and downloading/installing Gstreamer0.8dvd and Gstreamer0.8MPEG2dec. Those last two packages were installed at the advice of William Smith's recent article (Apr 07?) in Maximum PC magazine, pg51. All of my attempts to resolve this issue have proved fruitless. Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated. I understand it is customary to post responses in the Launchpad Forum. However, I will not always be able to access the Launchpad Forum. If I may be so bold, may I request an email notification that a possible answer has been posted. Perhaps even with a link? Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to the intelligent answers I hope to soon receive. Thank you, Josh Havens

Movie Player (An error occurred, could not read from resource) VLC (loads the disc, shows a time of 00:00, and just won't play) GNOME MPlayer (pretty much the same as VLC, loads but won't play) The funny thing about all this is that the one burned DVD I tried (no menus but structured as a DVD) will play, I'm thinking copyright?
