Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  libdvdcss is an optional dependency of libdvdread, so we do NOT add it to mpv.

This is from mpv man page:

dvd://[title|[starttitle]-endtitle][/device] --dvd-device=PATH
Play a DVD. If you want dvdnav menus, use dvd://menu. If no title is given, the longest title is auto-selected.

dvdnav:// is an old alias for dvd:// and does exactly the same thing.

dvdread://...:
Play a DVD using the old libdvdread code. This is what MPlayer and older mpv versions use for dvd://. Use is discouraged. It's provided only for compatibility and for transition.

Looks like we should not (optionally) depend on it, no?

I'm not sure what your point is. libdvdcss is for decrypting the dvd content. Without this library, dvd:// does not work for me for encrypted dvds. It is also an optional dependency of vlc:

> libdvdcss: for decoding encrypted DVDs

But I've just seen that it already is an optional dependency of libdvdread, which is an dependency of mpv:

mpv --> libdvdread and mpv --> libdvdnav --> libdvdread

Since there already is such a dependency, this issue could be closed, but I find it more intuitive to list it for the mpv package as well, just as it is done for vlc.

libdvdcss is not use when I build mpv from source.May be it's not used by mpv?

It's an optdep of libdvdread
