I previously asked a question regarding DVD playback and after much back and forth with David Foerster, he was able to narrow down the problem. With that in mind, I am now asking for further help! David linked me to this thread. I can follow the instructions up to step 4, however, when I try to run that command, the console returns dpkg-deb: error: unknown option -i. I am sure there must be a very simple solution, however, my knowledge of Ubuntu is incredibly limited. Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks.

You have to use dpkg instead of dpkg-deb to install the packages:

sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_*_$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH).deb

I've changed that in the linked thread.

  • Thanks, that fixed that particular issue, however, it seems that the main DVD problem still stands. The computer doesn't recognise the DVD, and though I can mount it and see the files, it will not play. This seems to apply to all my commercially-bought DVDs – Jamie Cruickshank May 12 '16 at 18:05
