DVD will not play despite correct codec

This might be the same problem as in this OSMC forum topic. If some DVD’s play fine and others don’t then it’s probably not a CSS (= content scrambling system, a copy protection system) problem. I’ll bump that topic again.

Summary of other topic at the time of writing: there seems to be a problem w/ video acceleration. If you disable MMAL and OMX acceleration in “System > Video > Acceleration” in Kodi and the DVd does pay, then you definitely have said problem.
