Hi!
Running on GhostBSD 11.1 Beta I found it's also possible to do this via pkg:

Code: Select all

sudo pkg install vlc

Code: Select all

sudo pkg install libdvdcss

No offence, but I've found smplayer to be a much better media player. You should give it a try.

[angus71]

No offence taken!
Thank you for this advice, will try it!

[NevilleGoddard]

No worries!

Don't forget to install smplayer-skins and smplayer-themes as well, for a better looking player.
