<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><br>I recently directed a friend of mine who uses Ubuntu to this page:<br><br><a href="http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html" target="_blank">http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html</a><br>
<br></div>I guess now that Medibuntu has shut down, many people will be landing here. Unfortunately, it's a bit confusing. There are several problems:<br><br></div>1. It doesn't actually tell you how to get libdvdcss as it claims. My friend followed the instructions, and was then puzzled as to why DVD playing still didn't work. Hence, I suggest you include the two extra commands that are needed:<br>
<br></div>sudo apt-get update<br>sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2<br><br></div>2. The organisation of the page implies that checking out the source from Git is part of getting libdvdcss. I suggest that you put all the text from <br clear="all">
<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br><code>libdvdcss</code> is available through <a href="http://wiki.videolan.org/Git" target="_blank">Git</a> or
by browsing the <a href="http://www.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/" target="_blank">releases</a>.
<br><br></div><div>onwards under a separate top-level heading, such as "libdvdcss for developers".<br></div><div><br></div><div>3. Tucked away at the bottom of the page under the heading "additional information" is a link to a non-technical description of libdvdcss. This should not be hidden away. I suggest you make the file's contents part of the page, as it's a useful explanation of why users need libdvdcss. Why not have it as a main section called "An explanation of libdvdcss", above the "Changelog and Documentation" section?<br>
<br></div><div>Thanks for your work on libdvdcss. I was just reading about the original DeCSS legal case today: it's amazing how long ago that was and yet we still need this workaround.<br></div></div></div></div></div>
