Case 2: Current libdvdcss version is 2.8.1 BUT won't install on OS X El Capitan unless it has been installed before upgrading. The problem seems to be that El Capitan does not allow the creation of the necessary folders in usr. If you installed it BEFORE updating to El Capitan then there is no problem. I tried to disable rootless but still no luck
Solutions:
1) Downgrade your El Capitan to Mac OS X Yosemite first and then download & install libdvdcss and OSXfuse on Yosemite before upgrading to El Capitan.
2) Generally, /usr/local can't be found on fresh installs of OS X 10.5 to 10.10. When you update operating system from Yosemite (no /usr/local directory) to El Capitan, /usr/local is generated automatically. If not, there might be something wrong with the El Capitan installer or your system.
The way to fix libdvdcss won't install problem is temporarily disable rootless, create the directory, make sure the 'restricted' flag is not set, and re-enable rootless.
