Then I ssh into the Pi to execute the next two commands… I’m sure someone could figure this out, but not me. Sudo cp /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss* /lib (copy the installed files to /lib) Streaming a DVDįor reasons that I don’t understand, this works for me when I use ssh for the last two commands and not if I do it from the keyboard attached to the Pi.

Sudo make install (install the compiled files) Tar -xvf libdvdcss-1.2.12.tar (unarchive the files)Ĭd libdvdcss-1.2.12 (change to the libdvdcss directory) I did the whole install starting from /home/piīunzip2 libdvdcss-1.2.12.tar.bz2 (unzip the archive) Then install mplayer, which handles the decryption and streaming for us…

Sudo apt-get upgrade (This takes a little while ~15 mins) I started with a freshly flashed SD card containing the August release of Raspbian, then fully updated/upgraded it. So now I’m going to show you how it’s done… Starting Point It puts all the elements together in a way that works on the Raspberry Pi. This is the thread mikerr started, here.īasically, you install mplayer, compile and install the libdvdcss decryption library and then set up a video stream in the background, which you then view with omxplayer. However, one of the forum members, mikerr, has come up with a creative way to get the job done. Well, I tried a few different things but was unable to get it working. Hopefully a future video will detail that process. There is a way to watch encrypted DVDs in linux, but I haven’t sorted it out on my Pi yet. At that time, as far as I could make out, nobody had managed to watch a commercial encrypted DVD, with the DVD drive attached to the Pi, but I figured it was only a matter of time. I use Arch Linux for ARM, so systemd is my service manager, I just created a configuration file named picast.Last week I published a blog and video of watching a DVD in Raspbian using omxplayer. The last thing to do is to run our websocket_server.py script automatically after booting the Raspberry Pi. Websocket_server.py is a Python script that launches a server and listens all messages from the browser (your will need to install Tornado’s Websockets package on the Raspberry PI).

This script should be placed inside /usr/bin or in a folder known by the $PATH environmental variable. This is the tricky part, two files are required on the Raspberry Pi: dbuscontrol.shĭbuscontrol.sh is used to send D-bus signals to Omxplayer (in order to change the volume, toogle pause and play, etc). Inside the RPI-cast settings page use your Raspberry Pi IP address and store your configuration (the port I am using by default is 8888). First you need to download my RPI-cast extension ( RPI-cast) and import it on your Google Chrome browser (using the chrome://extensions configuration page).

Once everything is installed and configured, you’ll be able to play videos on your TV and command their reproduction (volume, pause-play and time) directly from your Google Chrome Browser (from your laptop or smart-phone devices). I am happy to present RPI-Cast a Google Chrome’s extension that will turn your Raspberry PI into a Google Chromecast-like device.
