Is there any way I can play a physical dvd? I can see the folder and files on the dvd, but there are problems:
1. Everything is black. Is this because I lack the codec serial number for MPEG2?
2. The dvd drive makes bonk-bonk-bonk noises
3. I want to play the entire move, not just single files
4. I need subtitles

I have XBian 1.0 Alpha 5.

better stay away from this on RPi... to much hassle as XBMC on RPi never meant to support DVD

Ok, thanks. Do you know any other solution for playing a dvd over a network?

I backup my DVD's as ISO. These seem to play flawlessly over a network - and the whole file without a stutter.

However, you have to remove the menus and just backup the main movie. DVD menus do not always work, sometime they do, othertimes, they don't.

You need a MPEG license to play these files. Or convert to mp4 or mkv and you don't need a license.
