I ran into this by looking at Plugins in the brasero Edit menu and see: "The version of "libdvdcss.so.2" is too old" although my installation of libdvdcss.so.2 is fine. Also, trying to copy a protected dvd with brasero gives an error: All required applications and libraries are not installed. Please install the following manually and try again: libdvdcss.so.2 (library). Google shows many such reports and the provided demonstration url pointed me to a probable cause: brasero in Mageia uses a version check that has been dropped as of libdvdcss 1.3.0: Changes between 1.2.13 and 1.3.0: --------------------------------- * Dropped deprecated, undocumented API: - the function dvdcss_title() - the type dvdcss_handle - the variable dvdcss_interface_2 ... https://abi-laboratory.pro/tracker/changelog/libdvdcss/1.3.0/log.html Gnome removed this check from brasero 11 months ago: "Remove check for dvdcss_interface_2" https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/brasero/blob/master/plugins/dvdcss/burn-dvdcss.c and looking at this file in the referenced source rpm, I see the obsolete code is still there: #define BRASERO_DVDCSS_I_BLOCKS 16ULL static GObjectClass *parent_class = NULL; static gboolean brasero_dvdcss_library_init (BraseroPlugin *plugin) { gpointer address; GModule *module; if (css_ready) return TRUE; /* load libdvdcss library and see the version (mine is 1.2.0) */ module = g_module_open ("libdvdcss.so.2", G_MODULE_BIND_LOCAL); if (!module) goto error_doesnt_exist; if (!g_module_symbol (module, "dvdcss_interface_2", &address)) goto error_version; if (!g_module_symbol (module, "dvdcss_open", &address)) goto error_version; dvdcss_open = address; 98,1-8 11% Thanks.
