libdvdcss source package in repository?
Hi, I have added the following repository with YaST: > Software Repositories > Add > HTTP > Next > Repository Name - libdvdcss2 > URL of the Repository - https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Essentia...

I am also of course wondering if it would be best to install package libdvdcss2 as well. I do notice by using VLC that the same dvd medium I previously tried "Plays the same movie as before with no libdvdcss instance installed". Switching to a different dvd medium results in no playback at all. The drive is certainly activated when the VLC media play key is clicked.

I would like to compare the command output from here to the output you have: Looks like it's missing directory /etc/zypp/repos.d/Libdvdcss.repo here. The b in your Libdvdcss.repo shows a square on it with 4 numbers inside when I pasted your response to text editor. It seems like upper or lower case L does not matter?

Looks like the issue I had was all my fault due to trying to install a Leap repo on TWD machine. 1. Should I create the directory? Default permissions? 2.

It appears a source package of libdvdcss is in fact installed on the machine.
Is this the package that the above repository contains?
Is it best to install both of the following packages libdvdcss and libdvdcss2?
I would like to compile the above listed package but I am curious as to if I have done a step incorrectly up to this point. I am also of course wondering if it would be best to install package libdvdcss2 as well.
I do notice by using VLC that the same dvd medium I previously tried "Plays the same movie as before with no libdvdcss instance installed". Switching to a different dvd medium results in no playback at all. The drive is certainly activated when the VLC media play key is clicked. I verified with "lsblk" I have the correct block device selected also.

Is this the package that the above repository contains?
Yes. As I commented yesterday on another thread, the packman repo builds but doesn't publish libdvdcss. The source package has a 2 appended for some reason. The binary package is built and published instead by the videolan repository, and also by the <http://opensuse-guide.org/repo/openSUSE_Leap_15.2> , which is the reccomended repository for this particular package.
Is it best to install both of the following packages libdvdcss and libdvdcss2?
They refer both to the same thing. One source, one binary.
I would like to compile the above listed package but I am curious as to if I have done a step incorrectly up to this point. I am also of course wondering if it would be best to install package libdvdcss2 as well.
If you want to learn building...
I do notice by using VLC that the same dvd medium I previously tried "Plays the same movie as before with no libdvdcss instance installed". Switching to a different dvd medium results in no playback at all. The drive is certainly activated when the VLC media play key is clicked. I verified with "lsblk" I have the correct block device selected also.
Which matches what I said that the keys are generated and stored already in your machine.
Suggestions on this would be a great help.

So you are saying that some of the dvd/mediums keys are not already stored in the machine. Which application or program determines which keys are already generated?

Oh, because it infringes on industry secrets, patents or whatever legal hurdles. Huge problem! You can only freely publish it on countries where it is not a crime. I suspect the presence of the package, however, is needed to build some other packages, so it is present, but not published.

Some dvdread library, I don't know the name for sure. Or VLC itself. Look for the presence of a directory named ".dvdcss/" on your home. That directory contains the keys. Delete it, and without libdvdcss your commercial DVD will fail to play. Should, at least; that is my understanding. Read: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeCSS> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libdvdcss> And... somewhere I don't remember they listed many ways to legally publish this code without publishing the code. I don't remember how it was called... have a look at the references section on the first link. For instance: <http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/decss-haiku.txt> How to decrypt a DVD: in haiku form. (Thanks, Prof. D. S. T.) ... Ah, found what I was looking for: 42 ways to distribute DeCSS <http://decss.zoy.org/> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
