Default Re: Multistandard PC/TV - System Requirements

Hi,

I got DVD playback in KnoppMyth working

This answer in the FAQ is the clue.

Decryption of encrypted discs is disabled by default; as the software to do this is illegal under the DMCA in the US.

So, they don't ship KnoppMyth with the decryption software installed.

But they do provide a script to install it.

We're in the UK and don't have the DMCA, so it's probably safe to say:

Get a root login by one of the following means:
  • exit MythTV, right-click on the desktop, select XShells and start an xterm; then /bin/su - and give root password.
  • Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a console, log in as root.
  • ssh root@hostname from another machine, replacing 'hostname' with whatever you called the machine.

Then (the # indicates the root prompt, don't type it):
Code:
# /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
If any moderator believes my publishing information on how to watch commercial DVDs you paid for on your own hardware to be illegal, please delete it and replace it with a "PM Kat for info" message.

Regard, Kat
