Installing libdvdcss
Legal warning: Check with your local laws to make sure usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area.
From Ubuntu 15.10 onwards, libdvd-pkg is available to ease the installation of libdvdcss.
Install the libdvd-pkg package (no need to add third party repositories) via Synaptic or command line:
sudo apt-get install libdvd-pkg
Then run the following commands to complete the libdvdcss installation:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Already installed libdvd-pkg. It still seems to be scrambled – will Mar 08 '16 at 00:06

"Follow libdvd-pkg's instructions to let it download, compile, and install libdvdcss." Would be worth mentioning what instructions those are. – xangua Mar 08 '16 at 02:43
