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.
Installation
libdvdcss2 can be installed via multiple methods.
- libdvdcss2 can be installed via the package manager.
- A copy can also be downloaded from their website.
Legal Information
The legal status of using libdvdcss2 can vary based on location. Users should read the
libdvdcss legal concerns before installing.
