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"
