Problems playing a dvd

[curmudgeon]

I usually use mplayer to play dvds without any problem. But I have one now (that works fine in a stand alone dvd player) that gives me:

Code: Select all

$ mplayer dvd://1

I have never seen many of these message before. Did I forget to compile something necessary into mplayer?

[audiodef]

Can you play other DVDs with the same instance of mplayer?

[Gusar]

If it's a crippled DVD, you'll need dvdnav://1

Yes. I have never had a problem before.

That worked!

Now I see:

Still getting a lot of error messages:

Do those mean anything?

I do see one significant problem (using dvdnav://1). The arrow keys no longer work (left - back 10 seconds, right - ahead 10 seconds, down - back on minute, up - ahead one minute). Is there some way to fix that. I use those a lot (to take another quick look at things I might have missed :) ).

Thank you very much.

I think it'll work if you define those keys explicitly in ~/.mplayer/input.conf:

Code: Select all

LEFT seek -10
RIGHT seek +10
UP seek +60
DOWN seek -60

This worked for quite a while, but a recent upgrade of mplayer broke it again. :(

Mplayer now plays what I guess is one chapter (about one minute of a two hour video), and then says "Exiting... (End of file)," and stops.

I assume there is some parameter to overcome this, but I can't figure out what it is.

Thanks.
