Bug#939764: kodi fails to play DVD when udisks is in use
Source: kodi
Version: 2:17.6+dfsg1-4+b1
Severity: important
I've had this problem for quite a while, but I lost track when it
started, possibly already with the stretch version. The buster version
is definitely affected.
kodi doesn't play DVDs. When selecting "play disc" from the main menu,
it just plays the standard interface key sound, and then does nothing.
Sometimes it starts to play after some time, but is then very slow
(minutes!) in advancing from one pre-play track to the next one.
Some googling revealed this thread:

... which links to this GitHub PR:

I can confirm that DVD playback works flawlessly after upgrading to
kodi 18, so I suggest that this patch should be backported to 17.x in
buster.
