Revision of Enable DVD Playback from Sun, 01/16/2011 - 19:45
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
By default, Trisquel is unable to play many DVDs because it lacks a library to bypass the CSS (Content Scrambling System) algorithm that blocks access to encrypted DVDs. You need a simple free software library called libdvdcss2, which bypasses the encryption, includes an API to access DVDs as a block device, and ignores region codes.
Getting the Package
- Go to this website and download the latest version (currently 1.2.10) as a .deb archive.
- Open the .deb file and click on "Install Package". Playback of encrypted DVDs should work immediately.
