No idea why but on multiple systems with a mix of lubuntu and kodi 17 playing various diffrent legit DVD’s they just stop playing between 15 and 20 mins in and return to the main kodi menu and I damn well think it’s a pain in the arse 🙂 Tried replaying them and fast forwarding behond the cut off point but it just will not go the rest of the way trying diffrent techniques.

Any ideas?

The .VOB files are usually about that length. Sounds like it’s only playing one, instead of the whole disc. You might need to add a codec.

Good point Ryan.

RSB, have you tried playing them via VLC or another media player?

No I did not because it is a media centre only and only uses kodi and media centre ir remote but if I had any common sense I should of. I think tippon hit the nail on the head. I’ll give it some thought and try it on my downstairs set-up but i did switch to Mint KDE instead of Lubuntu and that did not give me any problems although bothe was based on the same ubuntu version “16.04”. I has insperation when setting up KDE Mint! Through set-up I declined the offer to download and install codecs and other extra software and thought to my self Kodi will download it’s own choice of stuff as part of the install. All was good.
