Bluray DVD drive is not working in DM800

I cannot say anything about Bluray, because I did not try it yet. But for DVD: did you install libdvdcss ?

Sorry, but I see no way to upload "libdvdcss2_1.2.11-r1_mipsel.ipk" in my post, so you should look for it (google).

You can't play Blu Rays without using an OE2 image.
Nemesis is OE1.6 and includes the DVD player.
No image can play protected discs so if you're trying to play commercial discs, forget it.

if you tell me, where i find the file (which folder) i can upload ...

@charliecossie, you are right, Bluray-Player is in OE2.0-Images, not in OE1.6, but playing commercial DVD is possible by using the libdvdcss in all images OE1.6.

Well you learn something new every day...

thanks my friend, but i will only know the location of my box, to upload the file, if i find

At this time you can only playback copy protected/purchased DVDs with libdvdcss2
not copy protected Blurays.
If you have unprotected BD-R Bluray discs or mkv/m2ts data BD-R discs you may play hdtv files from them as well. So you can play back e.g. your own hdtv recordings, that you burnt to disc.
Copy protected Bluray discs may follow later. It´s already possible to play some copy protected Bluray discs with linux - so maybe there will some day be a solution for dreambox. Today it´s still for experts:

Link in post above for libdvdcss2 maybe won´t help you, files there seem to be for OE1.6 only!

For OE2.0 you need mips32el.ipk files instead of mipsel.ipk. Files above won´t install on OE2.0. (I attached suitable ones here - post #222)

If your dreambox is original - not clone - you can install OE2.0 image first. An easy one e.g. is Merlin 3
After installation start online update to get dreambox up to date
(menu/settings/software/update online - expressions may be different, my firmware got different language than English).
If you need softcam look here (read here post #210):

Additional remark: Files above for OE1.6 (post #11) will probably only work, if you unzip them with 7Zip and extract two libdvdcss2 files inside, which you afterwards can copy to /usr/lib folder on dreambox and then give rights 755 and afterwards restart your box. So, they are not totally useless - they are only packed in a container, that OE2.0 images don´t accept any longer for installation.

Hi B2K420

I never had problems with libdvdcss2.

Libdvdcss2 for oe1.6 is older than the one uploaded for oe2, but the age of oe1.6 libdvdcss2-file shouldn´t be reason for a greenscreen on your box. If you´re using it on oe1.6 (like Release 3.2/Nemesis2.6) it should work.

Why not ? ...

I´m only guessing now - maybe I´m perfectly wrong, because I don´t know DBUK image. (Just googled and didn´t find out too much the last hour.)

Maybe DBUK image already comes with libdvdcss2 inside?
I only guess this because you wrote dreambox reported that it "updated" libdvdcss2.
Maybe s.th got mixed up, then by installing libdvdcss2 anew?

The libdvd-files inside the libdvdcss2-mipsel.zip by default get installed into folder /user/lib on your dreambox.
Some firmwares place some of their files in different folders than usual or redirect with so called "symlinks" (as pointers to original files). If symlink-, file-. or folder names don´t fit - then maybe problem.
(Would be easy for experienced user to find out, if symlinks are wrong or libdvdcss2 files placed incorrectly, but I better don´t explain, because a newbie can easily ruin his/her firmware).

Many reasons for greenscreen possible on your box.
- if maybe libdvdcss2 symlinks in your firmware point to different location than /user/lib
(where your libdvdcss2-files from zip-package should have got installed ...)
- if no symlinks exist at all, but maybe need to be created for your firmware
- if downloaded file was corrupt
- if dvdplayer plugin is faulty (or libs libdreamdvd* libdvdnav*)
- if bluplayer plugin is disturbing
- if - many other reasons ...

Additional remark:
Afaik, Bluray playback is officially supported with oe2 + bluplayer plugin, only.
Not on oe1.6.
Maybe even s.th. went wrong, when you tried to play back a Bluray disc on your box with oe1.6 firmware?
(You must at least have inserted a Bluraydisc into your BD-player - you wrote about folders "BDMV/Certificate" - they are only for Bluray discs).
Usually on oe1.6 you can use Bluraydisc writers for playback of DVDs and for storage of data on DVD 4.7/8.5 GB and BD-R 25/50 GB discs.
Playback of TS-Files may perhaps be possible from BD-Rs, but I´m not sure about that.

Perhaps you rather deinstall libdvdcss2?
If you want so,
connect with "Dreambox Control Center", DCCe2, to your dreambox
choose Telnet function of DCCe2 and deinstall with
ipkg remove libdvdcss*
restart box

(should you get error message: command on oe2 and in some other cases should be opkg remove libdvdcss* instead)

Sorry that I can´t help better, but I never had the same problem.
(Not 100% true - I once had greenscreen with dvd playback - I flashed new firmware, installed libdvdcss2 again - problem gone.)

Maybe you deinstall dvdplayer plugin and install it again.
maybe flash new oe2 or old oe1.6 again (with dreamup/webIf - no restore of settings, except user bouquets).

Hope you find an easy way to solve this:thum:.

Wow!
First I was shocked because of big window with quote inside.
I thought, s.th. bad may have happened to your dreambox until I read your comment.

Yes I´m special person - my brother and sister sometimes say so, too and they don´t always mean this friendly ...:lol:

Happy to hear that you´ve got everything working allright :thum:

Pictures say more than words (pic #5 is Merlin 3 OE2.0 CamCenter)
