Hi Mate, libdvdcss is available as a port

Code: 
/usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdcss

FreshPorts -- multimedia/libdvdcss: Portable abstraction library for DVD decryption

libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a block device without having to bother about the decryption. The important features are: - Portability. Currently supported platforms are GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS and Windows. - The MacOS X version is being worked on as...
www.freshports.org www.freshports.org

The port doesnt seem to have a maintainer though

To add the package, run one of these commands:
  • pkg install multimedia/libdvdcss
  • pkg install libdvdcss
NOTE: If this package has multiple flavors (see below), then use one of them instead of the name specified above.
PKGNAME: there is no package for this port: _LICENSE_RESTRICTED = delete-package delete-distfiles

Looks like there isnt a package because of the license
even though it does suggest using pkg to install libdvdcss

Which is a bit confusing

libdvdcss isnt listed as package on my system

So i guess you will have to build it with poudriere
 
Code: 
$ sudo cd /usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdcss/ && make install clean
Password:
make: don't know how to make install. Stop

make: stopped in /home/****

Ermm
Yes, poudriere is installed....
 
Your cd will be executed, then you'll be back to the home directory, then the make will be executed in your home directory. I think.

So do the cd first (without sudo) and then sudo make?

Still, he is not allowed within 200m of that sheep farm. ;)

Building and installing libdvdcss does half the work. Some programms are loading it itself, I think vlc is one of them.
Or you need to build that one as well.

TBH, that did most of the work. I access DVDs almost exclusively with VLC, and they spin swimmingly now. 👍
