4:59 p.m.
I have libdvdcss from Livna and gstreamer-plugins-bad (who's idea was
naming the gstreamer-plugins-* series, anyway?) from RPM Fusion Free
(which contains /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstdvdspu.so). But when I
play a commercial DVD, Totem reports that it can't find the Sub-Picture
Decoder plugin. It offers to search, but finds nothing relevant. The
DVD does play, but AIUI, without the plugin, I will have to manually
start each .VOB file.
Am I still missing something (I have most of the gstreamer plugins
installed by now), or is something misconfigured in Totem? If there's a
bug, whose is it, Totem or the plugins?
TIA.

Have you tried using VLC instead?

Totem in F19+ use gstreamer 1.0 as opposed to gstreamer 0.10. Be sure you have
"gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld" installed.

I hadn't, but I did at your suggestion. After a couple of false starts,
it seems to be working. (Seems very flexible. But I can't find a way
to set the default "disc" device. It assumes /dev/dvd1, but Fedora
uses /dev/sg0 on my machine. I couldn't find anything in the
preferences to fix that.)
But that doesn't mean there isn't an issue with Totem that needs to be
resolved.

When naming such things, has anyone considered how it looks to a novice to
be installing a plugin or app that contains the words bad, freeworld and
such like or even to have such words in the repository. If it's in house
humour it doesn't work, not a good look and quite unprofessional. If it's
bad then make it good.
I don't propose changing the world but promoting Linux is front and centre
and telling the user world that your essential plugin is crap doesn't help.
My 0.2c worth.

First, consider that you are posting on the users list. If you think
this should be changed then raise it as an rfe at rpmfusion.
However, it's not "in-house humour", those terms really do reflect the
state of the different plugins and are documented.
Freeworld in particular distinguishes incompatible builds that would
conflict with the same package in Fedora itself, a different name is
needed.
The others variously indicate code which is not great, or affected by
IP issues (primarily in the US), it's not necessarily within the power
of the packagers to do anything about that.

Hello, Matthew
In VLC, locate the "Default optical device" settings following these
menus:
"Tools | Preferences | Show Settings (Simple) |
Input / Codecs | Optical drive | Default optical device"
I just changed "/dev/dvd1" to "/dev/sr0" and clicked "Save"
to see if it
works. So, I put a dvd in the drive and did the following from the
main GUI in VLC:
"Devices | Discs"
The DVD started playing perfectly.
If this is not what you wanted, I do apoplogize.
No, that does fix the default device in VLC, which is one thing I wanted
to know how to do. Thanks.

"gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld" installed.
That was it, thanks! Now to try to figure out why someone else with F20
and the same machine can't make it work.

"bad" can be _good_.
like, "bad ass software".
like, "bad to the bone".
"bad" as _good_ just depends on which side
of the "big pond" you are from.
For the eternal law is that there is no good without bad, no
beauty without ugliness, no white without black,
for the absolute can only exist as two; bad being necessary for
