maybe try the xine command filled in under Utilities/Setup>Media Settings>DVD Settings>Play Settings

xine -pfhq --no-splash dvd://



Xine is set as my dvd player also - same exact command line in the same place as yours.

DVDs start playing - up to the menus, then I'm dead in the water. I can't select anything or make it play. Some keyboard keys work, (like [P]ause and [Z]oom, but no play buttons... The ENTER/RETURN key doesn't start playback like its supposed to.

This still seems like the broken menu symptom I've been reading about in forum posts.

I just found a post that describes the other symptoms I've been noticing since trying to play dvds. It looks like XINE 99.3 has problems and 99.4 solves them.

Try these variations:
Code:
root@black2:/var/lib/mysql/mythconverg# mysql mythconverg -e "select data from settings where value in ('DVDPlayerCommand', 'VCDPlayerCommand')"
+----------------------------+
| data                       |
+----------------------------+
| xine -pfhq --auto-scan dvd |
| xine -pfhq --auto-scan vcd |
+----------------------------+

Also double check your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc to make sure that the button definitions match and that the lircrc contains command mappings for xine.

I just stumbled upon the ENTER button in the numeric keypad which started playing the dvd. (Why didn't the main ENTER key work????)

Once playing, you still can't skip to the next track - no apparent button for that...

Right now, I'm using the keyboard to try and control xine. I don't think the lircrc files will come into play, will they?

From the look of it, we need XINE version 99.4 in the next release of Knoppmyth. Are you on the release team TJC? Can you push for that?

Eric

The version of xine in R5C7 works just fine. You just need lirc keybindings for it. There are several sets posted around here. Here is what I'm using at the moment (note this is a partial extract of just my xine bindings from lircrc). Also note that I corrected the button names to match the ones defined in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf as I mentioned at least twice above. These are incredibly easy to customize, all it takes is a bit of time with the xine docs which have a very simple and clear section on available config= names to use, and a text editor.
Code:
##XINE

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Play
 repeat = 3
 config = Play
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Stop
 repeat = 3
 config = Stop
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Back/Exit
 config = Quit
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Pause
 repeat = 3
 config = Pause
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Ch+
 repeat = 4
 config = EventUp
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Ch-
 repeat = 4
 config = EventDown
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Vol-
 repeat = 4
 config = EventLeft
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Vol+
 repeat = 4
 config = EventRight
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Ok
 repeat = 0
 config = EventSelect
 end


 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Menu
 repeat = 0
 config = Menu
 end

 #vol down
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Yellow
 repeat = 1
 config = Volume-
 end

 #vol up
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Red
 repeat = 1
 config = Volume+
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Forward
 repeat = 2
 config = SeekRelative+30
 end

 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Rewind
 repeat = 2
 config = SeekRelative-30
 end

 #ch up
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Green
 repeat = 1
 config = SeekRelative+60
 end

 #ch down
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Blue
 repeat = 1
 config = SeekRelative-60
 end

 #sleep
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Go
 repeat = 1
 config = ZoomIn
 end

 #display
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Skip
 repeat = 1
 config = ZoomOut
 end

 #skip chapter forward
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Skip
 repeat = 1
 config = EventNext
 end

 #skip chapter backward
 begin
 prog = xine
 button = Replay
 repeat = 1
 config = EventPrior
 end

TJC,

LIRC is for Infrared remote controls. (stands for Linux Infrared Remote Control)
I'm using a hardwired keyboard to try and control XINE (don't care about the IR remote right now).
Therefrore, do LIRC key bindings really apply here?

I found a forum post that describes the other symptoms I've been noticing since trying to play dvds.
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... enu+broken
In summary of the post, XINE 0.99.3 clearly has a bug that steals the system focus and 0.99.4 solves this.
Could XINE 0.99.4 be included in the next release of KnoppMyth? That'd be great.

Eric

tjc cannot decide to include xine in the next release. We aren't acccepting any feature requests for R5.

My bad, I must have been confusing you with someone else asking a similar question (as I've often noted they seem to come in clusters, for example we've recently had a rash of PVR-350 questions). I usually use a wireless keyboard too, but since I can never remember the xine key bindings, I tend to reach for the remote which I've got mapped uniformly, when I'm using that.

I don't know whether it's currently true (since I run xine with a remote), but in the past I recall not being able to navigate DVD menus with just a keyboard in xine. I had to use a mouse or some pointing device to point/click at menus.

Hi Cecil, you aren't interested in replacing xine 0.99.3 with xine 0.99.4?

I realize your belief is that the latest versions aren't usually necessary, but this is in the name of bug fixes, smoother operation, etc..

The word is that the xine 0.99.3 focus stealing bug is fixed in 0.99.4! Cool, huh?

No problem, TJC. Thanks for answering me and clearing that up.
On a side note, I do like the look of your lircrc file. I'll incorporate pieces of it into mine. I've got one of the Hauppauge silver remotes too.

I discovered some more of the keyboard controls for XINE. Most of the controls are in the numeric keypad on the keyboard:
- the arrows in the keypad (4,8,6,2) control the dvd menu cursor,
- the keypad ENTER is the play button,
- PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN are a skip in time,
- I is the interlace control,
- P is pause,
- E is eject.

I just updated to xine 0.99.4. The bugs are GONE! :D
It feels so good to purge bugs from the system, doesn't it? ;)

Eric

Who says I'm not. I was simply stating a fact, while I value tjc membership in the community, he doesn't have a say in the inclusion of xine in the next release. Who says the next release doesn't already have the latest xine, mplayer and other goodies?

Sounds delicious! I look forward to the next release.

OK, on the 'final say' aspects of the KnoppMyth project.
While it's not important to me who includes the updates and bug fixes, they are still important to me.

Keep up the good work. We appreciate it.
Eric

So from this I gather that I shouldn't throw out my DVD player for movies (owned and rented)?

The DVD Playback is only for DVD's that I create? Am I right?

If you live in a country that doesn't have a DMCA like law I would wager you could get DVDs playing. Reseach is your friend

In KnoppMyth R5D1, XINE has been updated to the most recent code and plays dvds very nicely.
If you do the right things, you can play any dvd you want.
Are you familiar with the process of executing a script?

The answer to this mystery is in this very thread - page 1.
