I've confirmed these problems with vlc-2.2.1 on 14.1 and since its most 
improbable that lidvdread and taglib versions will be updated in 
official 14.1, I think we should revert to the latest version of vlc 
that is able to use those versions. That is vlc-2.1.6 which I've tested 
to confirm operation with dvd:///... and cdda:///... MRL's.

I'm just about to submit the SlackBuild for it, with libssh2, 
gstreamer1, gst1-plugins-base and x265 packages added to REQUIRES.

Thanks for reporting the problem and suggesting the extra options Lemin.
