Problem description:
The DVD isn't playback: if to click on to Play Disc, nothing occurs, if to launch VIDEO_TS.IFO, playback stops after a language choice, if to launch VTS_01_1.VOB, only a sound. After switching off the hardware decoding, VTS_01_1.VOB ceased is playback generally.
I have no license for MPEG-2, but software decoding shall work! I tried to install ffmpeg, libav - helped nothing! Everything worked at OSMC.
How to reproduce:
Try to playback the DVD

Hmmm, tried to reproduce your issue, but without success

I'm able to play DVD's, tested untouched ISO format, untouched VIDEO_TS folder, and DVDR ISO format on RPI1/Kodi 16.1 (stutters sometimes, OMX accelleration with MPEG2 license is ok), RPI2/Kodi 16.1 (no stuttering, no MPEG2 license) and RPi3/Kodi 17.0 Alpha 3 (no stuttering, no MPEG2 license).

Btw, Kodi restarts on starting some (untouched) DVD's if "Skip DVD intro before Menu" option is not enabled

Generally, it turned out that only one DVD doesn't work: Lady and the Tramp: Platinum Edition, inserted other disk, it went. Perhaps, the software decoder isn't compatible to copy protection? Whether it is possible to correct it?

Difference only in what on mine is written on top Platinum Edition and all in Russian

Unfortunately I don't have an USB DVD/BD disk, so I can not test it under your environment.

All my DVD's are ripped and stored on Disk (only having a few of those DVD's). Maybe you are right, could be a decoder problem, don't know.

Will to have think about it

Eh, that to me the DVD to transfer all to HDD, about 100 years and many TB will be required, most likely
Anyway, thanks.

Sure, never told you to rip your DVD's

I have approx 1.5k of DVD's, but all of them are used as dust collectors , sometimes when I have time I'm ripping some and convert them to MKV's.

I want just to insert a DVD and watch, without selecting a file and other actions
