How can I play DVD from drive on elemntary OS Freya?
I have tried many video players such as VLC, GNOME Mplayer, Audacious, SMplayer which I installed via Software Manager to play DVD directly from drive but none of them can play it. Just nothing happens when I pressed Play button. Has anyone had the same problem ?

Welcome to LQ!
Have you installed libdvdcss2? |
Thank you for your reply. No I have not installed libdvdcss2. How can I install it?

Sorry, you'll have to use the elementary OS' package management system.
I don't know that OS. |
Elementary is another Ubuntu derivative so check the site below. It depends on what release you have.

Code:
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 |
Thank you Yancek.
I followed the link you gave me and the section "ubuntu 12.04 upto 15.04 (i386, amd64)" did the trick. Did't even need to reboot. Now I can play DVD nicely. Many thanks to Habitual too. The instruction you gave me did no work straight away but that was a start. Thank you both for your help. |
Glad it worked out!
