| 1 | SMPlayer 0.6.7 adds the possibility to display DVD menus.
|

| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | In order to enable, you need:
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | * Check the option "Enable DVD menus" in Preferences->Drives.
|
|---|
| 6 | * Assign the action "Activate option in DVD menus" (Preferences->Keyboard and
|
|---|
| 7 | mouse) to the left mouse button (so you can select the options in the menus
|
|---|
| 8 | with the mouse).
|

|
|---|
| 10 | A recent mplayer build with dvdnav support is required.
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | Note that cache will be automatically DISABLED (dvd menus won't work with it)
|
|---|
| 13 | so this can affect performance.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | WARNING: support for DVD menus is EXPERIMENTAL and NOT complete yet.
|
|---|
| 16 | Currently mplayer has a lot of issues/limitations when using dvdnav, and it
|
|---|
| 17 | doesn't make things easy for front-ends, so the support for the DVD menus
|
|---|
| 18 | in smplayer can't be improved any further for the moment.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | Some of the problems I found:
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | * it seems there's no way to know the current title that it's playing.
|
|---|
| 23 | MPlayer prints a line like this "DVDNAV, switched to title: 1" but
|
|---|
| 24 | unfortunately the title number that appears there may not match the
|
|---|
| 25 | title IDs that mplayer printed before (it may say "switched to title 2"
|
|---|
| 26 | but the actual title may be the 12th). As smplayer doesn't know the
|
|---|
| 27 | title, restoring the previous position after a mplayer restart is
|
|---|
| 28 | impossible.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | * if the audio track is changed, when you return to the dvd menu the
|
|---|
| 31 | sound may be lost (while printing a lot of error messages "Too many
|
|---|
| 32 | video packets in the buffer").
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | * subtitles may disappear after seeking.
