Went to play my Pink Floyd "Live at Pompei" DVD and was told that it was
encrypted and that I couldn't play it without libdvdcss. Apparently,
libdvdcss doesn't exist in its own right as something that apt-get can
install, but is referenced by other apps, such as gxine (already
installed) and ogle (which was installed, but I uninstalled it), and
libdvdread3 (which I already have installed).
What do I do now?
There are distribution issues with the DeCSS code.
All Debian packages install documentation to /usr/share/doc/packagename
so you need to navigate to /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/ and read
README.Debian.
Basically, you need to install libdvdcss2 from an unofficial Debian
archive.
Hope this helps,
Hello Sven
Cheers for the response.
Well, I'll be a primate's mother's brother: all the warning seemed to do
was just to give a warning re: verification. I changed my sources list
as noted previously and apt-get install libdvdcss2 and it worked like a
charm. Now that is *very* cool!!
Thanks Christian for the package and others here for the help.
Off to watch "Saucerful of Secrets" now ... he he he
