You can then install VLC from the Software Center if it isn’t installed already. You’ll find instructions and third-party repositories that should make the process easy. TL DR - There has to be an easier way to do this shit.ĮDIT: Formatting doesn't seem to be taking the way I want it to - my apologies.For other Linux distributions, perform a web search for “install libdvdcss” and the name of your Linux distribution. If this doesn't work, I'm going to bust out the PS3 and see if I can get Plex working on that machine although, I'm skeptical with such a new release and would also prefer that my AVR do the decoding. I've tried removing all packages to switch to ALSA but have been unsuccessful in the latest Ubuntu release. Pulseaudio seems to be ingrained incredibly tight with 14.04 and appears to be the root of that problem. Ubuntu is less than straightforward about setting up surround sound configurations and my next step is to downgrade to 12.04 and try from there. I've also tried playing back the files on my client HTPC using Kodi and cannot get 7.1 playback - only 5.1. MakeMKV does not seem capable of stripping out the 7.1 audio on its own - I tried downloading the dtsdecoderdll but am less than confident about the integrity of the download and cannot seem to find a reliable source for the latest version (MakeMKV gave me an error that my version is out of date).

Have been scrounging the web for a while but still cannot find a workable solution.
