MPlayer has always been the default media player and it will continue to be...

mplayer was for media files, and xine for dvd´s from the dvd drive.

I had been under the impression that mplayer didn't support DVD menus, but I was looking through the mplayer man page on my KnoppMyth R5F1 box and I noticed the following command in the keyboard commands section:

Quote:
(The following keys are only valid if you compiled with dvdnav
support: they are used to navigate the menus)


and a list of key commands for menu navigation. Does R5F1 have this? If not, has anyone added it and how painful was it?

The built in DVD player in mythtv doesn't produce sound and Xine crashes with a dialog box that is too tiny to read on my TV. I've been using DVD Fab HD Decrypter to extract the main movie from my DVDs and save it in .iso format and play it with mplayer-resumer.pl. I'd sure like to be able to extract the full disc as .iso and use it complete with menus.

So, I have the following questions:

1) Does R5F1 have this dvdnav support?
2) How do I figure out the LIRC "config" statements? The man page only gives the keyboard commands.
3) Is mplayer-resumer.pl compatible with a full DVD? I definitely have a tendency to interrupt viewing part way through and come back later to finish watching.

As new as the menu navigation is I would be very surprised. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570465 , you will most likely need to download/install from source (both MPlayer and libdvdnav). Also see http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html

http://www.videolan.org , search for CSS. You'll see it as "pineapple" here in these forums.

I don't think it's CSS. I think DVDFab HD Decrypter takes care of that.

If I download mplayer from source and compile it, what are my chances of it working without trashing something else? I've been hesitant to install software because of past experiences where I've trashed Linux boxes beyond my ability to repair by installing bleeding edge source code.

The error comes up when you try to play the ripped .iso, or when you try to play the disc (or both)?

No clue. Of course you could always make a backup, try to compile/install the latest MPlayer/libdvdnav and if it goes belly-up, perform an upgrade to the same version...

When playing the iso. I don't have a DVD drive in my mythtv box so I'm reading discs on a Windows machine and transfering the iso to the mythtv box.

I see that my R5F1 box already has libdvdnav on it:
Code:
/usr/share/doc$ ls libdvdn*
libdvdnav-dev:
AUTHORS  TODO                 changelog.gz  dvd_structures.gz
README   changelog.Debian.gz  copyright     tutorial.cpp.gz

libdvdnav4:
AUTHORS  README.Debian  TODO                 changelog.gz  examples
README   README.MAP.gz  changelog.Debian.gz  copyright


and the changelog indicates it is version 0.1.10 which is the latest version on http://dvd.sourceforge.net/

Is the following message when configuring mplayer good? It sort of looks like it wants me to configure some more options but I'm not clear on the syntax.

mplayer is compiling now (taking quite a while) but I'm a little hesitant to do an install if it might replace my working mplayer with a trashed one. Will "apt-get install mplayer" replace my custom compiled version with a guaranteed good version?



Code:
Checking for color console output ... no
Checking for DVD support (libdvdnav) ... Usage: dvdnav-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]

Not the most userfriendly thing in the world, but good enough to make a guess at what you need. Turns out the config command I was looking for was "switch_audio" which I bound to a key on my remote and I can now cycle through the various audio tracks.
