Hmm, how annoying! :-S

After reading your post, I opened VLC, inserted a disk and got the same
"cannot open sr0 error" so I selected sr1 from the dropdown under Media
-> Open Disc way at the bottom. It's working here.

Have you tried going through the motions under a "default" user profile
to see if it's a user setting? Sometimes our _personal_ settings can get
in the way of functionality.

Kubuntu 14.04 - VLC 2.1.4 Rincewind
