I don't have a CSS decoder, what software should I download?

Question

I tried to open movie player with a movie but it gives me crap about a decoding library. Then I learned about the modern CSS scrambling and I couldn't find anything to help.

Answer 1

Installation of libdvdcss may be what you need:

1. Install the libdvdread4 package via command line using the terminal:

   sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

2. Then execute:

   sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

3. Rebooting may be necessary.

After this, VLC will automatically use it. Some programs may need recompilation.
