Just spent 2 days trying to play DVDs on Raspberry Pis: remember to configure libdvdcss2
#DVD #RaspberryPi
If you also don't properly configure the dependency, you can run run this command without having to reinstall anything, marking yes for both prompts:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
Before that, I tried a bunch of things, including trying to dump a disc's image with Brasero, and that's when I got the message that led me to finding out the issue and the fix, the message saying it was missing libdvdcss2, despite the dependency being part of libdvd-pkg which I knew I had installed.
Glad it wasn't an issue with either the discs, the system, either of the RPis, or the USB reader/player. e.e"
@Auster @raspberrypi had a similar issue on Fedora 43. Ended up using the flatpak that came with the package included. Thanks for documenting things for the future!
