How do I install libdvdcss in Debian Jessie?
It seems that http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ is warned against.
https://wiki.debian.org/CDDVD lists three methods.
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of each?
And why does it sometimes seem to be called libdvdcss and sometimes libdvdcss2?

Well, I decided to take a punt on installing it direct from VideoLAN
edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line:
deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /
Then add their key:
wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc|sudo apt-key add -
Now update the system
sudo apt-get update
And install libdvdcss2
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
And suddenly all dvd players start working on all dvds. Cool!

if you want to use debian repository you could simply add contrib packages like this in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib

Although it works (tested on stretch), it installs a LOT of dependencies (c++ compiler, perl libraries, etc.). – Futal – 2017-09-08T07:11:37.550
I'd suggest using https to download the key, and possibly with the repository (in which case you need the package apt-transport-https). Also, the signature on the packages cannot be checked because of https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Apt/Sha1Removal.
