I should think it's not actually xine itself causing the problem, but
rather something deeper in the media set-up.
Try to play protected DVD with another player that has its own
implementation of libdvdcss2 (like VideoLan or SMPlayer) and see what
happens.
Also, you can try to load the offending DVD from console to get the error
output.
SMPlayer works fine.
I just tried another DVD - I have to admit I have no idea whether it is
encrypted - it's Hero by Miramax Films so I guess it is encrypted. But it works.
xine plays it fine. Perhaps it's just not encrypted.
But I used to play these DVDs fine, so something has regressed - as opposed to a
new situation that I never tried.
With the BBC DVD, this is the output I see from xine:
adam@isengard:~$ xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6cvs.

That's from start to finish.
The libdvdcss version - shouldn't it be 2?
Also in the details of the xine error there are several error messages like this:
"21:23:39: audio_decoder, unknown buffer type: 010600000"
but I guess the audio_decoder doesn't have much to do with this situation. Also
in the plugins details tab in the same place, xine lists about 40 plugins that
it can't find. Again, relevance unknown.
