yeah, perhaps because it's not legal.  >:(

Umm, that's a bit a broad statement.
There may be issues of legality of libdvdcss with certain specific legislations on a national level.

We should legalize it. :)

it is very simple to compile ./configure make make install :)

libdvdcss is only required for playing encrypted dvds

I used Jason's deb2tc script to convert the libdvdcss2 deb file to tcz and vlc plays the encrypted dvds perfectly now.

I had pondered making a fetch and install script for libdvdcss to make for easy installation.  I may do that when time permits.

Or people should learn how to use rtorrent so that nobody has to decrypt DVDs illegally...

Though I don't see an ethical issue with using libdvdcss to privately view one's own legally purchased DVDs, it is easy enough to convert the .deb package.   Probably better to leave it as an exercise for the user rather than provide a script promoting it's use.

So which lib do we use:  libdvdcss or the latest libdvdcss2 ?   and is one versions ie: 1.2.10 better than previous versions?

libdvdcss2 is just a name Debian type distros use for their package, there is no version 2 as 1.2.10 is the latest version, and the one likely best to use.

ok thanks

Well I'm curious, I must be doing something wrong because I can't seem to view any dvd using any player.  Same error every time "unable to read any or all of the drive"  So  where exactly is the libdvdcss supposed to be installed to?   

I presume libdvdcss.tcz  should be installed to the optional directory so it gets mounted at each boot?

I put it in the optional directory, and put an entry for it in the dep file of VLC (the media player I use) so it wouldn't slow down boot times. Worked like a charm!  8)

thanks for the tip and I'm glad it worked for someone, because it certainly didn't work for me :(

Maybe it's a permissions thing?  What permissions should libdvdcss.tcz be given?  I guess I should ask the ultimate question, where did the source libdvdcss.deb originate from?

all extensions.tcz should be tc:staff

The files inside extensions.tcz should have the permissions given to them by "make install" unless there has been a particular reason (usually rare) to change them.

The source is available from the VideoLAN project website: http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html
Use the compiletc extension to compile the source (using DESTDIR), and then pack it up into an extension as described here: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions with squashfs

Thanks and yes I downloaded the source code from vlc already, however I was more interested in my previous question in the source of the "libdvdcss.deb" file which is being used in the conversion to libdvdcss.tcz??
