can't play dvd after totem and hal upgrade

5 mins ago i was happily watching a DVD using totem. Them i upgraded to totem 1.0.3-1 and hal 0.4.8-1. The dvd stopped playing and now when i try to play a dvd totem i get the message "Totem could not play 'dvd://', No URI handler implemented for 'dvd://'". Xine gives me

"There is no input plugin to handle dvd:/ Maybe MRI syntax is wrong or file/system source doesn't exist

The source can't be read
Maybe u don't have enough roghts for this or source doesn't contain data (eg no disc in drive)"

Whats all this about.   :x

below is my fstab if its any help:

Re: can't play dvd after totem and hal upgrade

i have downgraded both hal and totem to the revious versions and now i can play dvds again. What i don't understand is why shoud an upgrade from version say 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 break a system? Nothing is straight forward in linux. I know the average linux user doesn't mind tweaking things but sometime you just want things to work you know!  :x

Re: can't play dvd after totem and hal upgrade

totem changed from GStreamer in our 1.0.3. You need the gst-plugins-dvd plugin to play DVDs with GStreamer.

When gst-plugins-0.8.9 and gst-ffmpeg 0.8.5 are released, totem will get an upgrade to 1.1.2 to get rid of the shortcomings in the subtitles support for totem/gstreamer.
