>bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() Phonon backend "Gstreamer" version "4.6.2" loaded You may want to ask your distribution for a package of phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.6.3 as that possibly fixes your issue. >libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd >PHONON-GST 1 >PHONON-GST [00;34mBEGIN:[00;39m void Phonon::Gstreamer::MediaObject::setError(const QString&, Phonon::ErrorType) >PHONON-GST "Kan de titelinformatie voor de DVD niet lezen." ^ In particular the library used by dragon player to actually play DVDs appears unable to read the DVD, now this can have a number of reasons of which none can be handled by dragon. - /dev/dvd is the wrong path (this would actually be solved by the 4.6.3 version I mentioned above) - /dev/dvd is protected and your system does not know how to solve that (http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html may be missing for example, best consult your distributor on this) - /dev/dvd is actually the right path and it is decrypted accordingly BUT gstreamer itself does not know how to handle videodvds. to fix this you'd have to install a couple of a gstreamer plugins/packages. again, you best ask your distributor on which ones those are and how to best go about installing them. Hope this helps. If none of the above resolves the issue please reopen this report and we'll have another look.
I've contacted the people over at the phonon-backend-gstreamer launchpad page concerning installing version 4.6.3. The current version installed is the most recent available in my distribution (kubuntu 12.04). I'll keep you informed of their advice. Thanks for the quick reply!
