DVD Playback

I bought an external DVD / BluRay Drive (Samsung SE-506CB/RSBDE BD-RW) and tried to watch movies with Kodi on the RPi 3. Some DVDs are working, some are not working.
I get tons of errors.

This is a feature request because it looks like that dvd playback is not really implemented in OSMC

That is a rather humorous conclusion to draw. DVD playback most definitely is implemented in OSMC/Kodi.

Please enable debug mode in Kodi, reboot, try to play a disk that gives trouble, then use the log uploader in My OSMC to upload all debug logs.

I have moved your post to the Help section as it is not a feature request.

In the meantime I installed OpenElec to see if things are different.
They are not :frowning:
Would you also accept an openelec debug log?

In a word, no.

Ok :slight_smile:
I will continue my troubleshooting here:
http://openelec.tv/forum/73-video-management/80730-usb-dvd-playback-with-openelec-and-rpi-3#160799

Due to the fact that both (openelec and osmc) behave the same way, the solution could be interesting for osmc.

Good luck with that! :smiley:
