After using NetBSD for a few decades, I finally got a DVD player to work, thanks to searching for something other than the venerable VLC app.
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2006/10/02/0015.htmlNeeded to set the disk device and the audio device; still a couple minor wonky things like no progress bar visible.
Thanks to the Baltimore County Public Library, first disk is "Brother Outsider The Life of Bayard Rustin."
