dvd menu navigation is not avalible
Last modified: 2008-05-08 08:26:47 UTC
ok, first i want to say that in some situation dvd navigation in a necessity, for example when watching a dvd with for 4 episodes of a tv series and an extra menu section with specials of the serie, like photos, storyboards and lots of other titles with interviews. in this situation it is really necessary to have dvd menu navigation just like in commercial available standalone players. besides this i can imagine that there are also usability standpoints of having user interaction with dvd menus. I tested this with the latest gst-plugins-ugly cvs and totem-gstreamer on debian sid, all commands does not seem to work. totem dvd://media/disk/collection/MYDVD_S02D01/ totem dvdnav://media/disk/collection/MYDVD_S02D01/ totem "$1" dvd://0 dvd://1 dvd://2 dvd://3 dvd://4 dvd://5 dvd://6 dvd://7 dvd://8 dvd://9 # configure: *** checking feature: dvdread library *** # configure: *** for plug-ins: dvdreadsrc *** # checking for DVDOpen in -ldvdread... yes # checking dvdread/dvd_reader.h usability... yes # checking dvdread/dvd_reader.h presence... yes # checking for dvdread/dvd_reader.h... yes # configure: *** These plugins will be built: dvdreadsrc # configure: *** Plug-ins with dependencies that will be built: # a52dec # dvdreadsrc # id3tag # mad # mpeg2dec # sid # configure: *** Plug-ins with dependencies that will NOT be built: # amrnb # dvdnav # lame cd $HOME sudo rm -r $HOME/gst-plugins-ugly cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/gstreamer co gst-plugins-ugly cd $HOME/gst-plugins-ugly ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr make sudo make install
I see that the dvdnav plugin is in the list with plugins that will not be build... I think that you also want to build this from CVS. The dvd uri protocol that you are using is not correct, it needs to be like: dvd://title,chapter,angle

No, the dvdnav is disabled on purpose, unconditionally. Even if you build it, it won't help. > The dvd uri protocol that you are using is not correct, it needs to be like: > dvd://title,chapter,angle just dvd://titlenumber should be fine too. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 502609 ***
Ok is there any way to request the available titles chapters and angels? dvd://0,0,0 dvd://1,0,0 dvd://2,0,0 dvd://2,1,0 dvd://2,2,0 dvd://2,2,1 dvd://2,2,2 dvd://2,3,0 dvd://3,0,0 The first title option response correctly the title start playing, but all other options result in the same behavior, I could not determine any changes. Can you tell me what to do to get dvdnav to enable...

(0,0,0 might default to 1, not sure) > ... > The first title option response correctly the title start playing, but all > other options result in the same behavior, I could not determine any changes. There's another (already open, existing) bug about chapter selection not working on startup. Not sure about angels, it's unlikely your dvd has multiple angles. > Can you tell me what to do to get dvdnav to enable... You can't. It won't help. There's no point at the moment. It won't work. Really.
I can donate 20 dollar to the developer, if dvd navigation gets included in the next 6 months, i have been waiting more then 2 years already ......
Why this bug is marked as a duplicate of INVALID tracker bug #502609 ? AFAIK there is another identifical bug about missing DVD menu support: bug #531649 , please merge this bug with that.
