So, you've bought a DVD-ROM from the Thrift Store, and you want to play DVDs on your Freekbox 3. You'll need to install a few programs and mess around with some files. This page will lead you through it.

1. Physically Install your DVD-ROM

2. Install some Programs

  • Install kaffeine and some DVD navigation tools. Open a terminal and become root, then run a couple of commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install kaffeine libdvdplay0 libdvdnav4 libdvdread3
  • Install the libdvdcss2 library.

This one's about as complex as installing mPlayer.

Open a terminal and become root.

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list where <dist> is the version of debian you are running (stable, testing, unstable): 

deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian <dist> main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian <dist> main

Then type the following command: 

apt-get install libdvdcss2
