I wrote the man page and I happen to be a long-time MPlayer developer. I know what I'm talking about here. MPlayer has never in the past or present supported DVD menus. > But for that to happen the very wise package maintainer must *first* > (you seem to like these asterisks) not forget to *install* > libdvdnav-dev. > > Otherwise what happens, pretty please pray tell? MPlayer uses libdvdread to access DVDs, which is the supported and tested way to do this. Using libdvdnav for this is experimental at best. > Then us poor Sony dvd users can't watch our movies because that company > implements a copy protection scheme that *only* dvdnav:// can > workaround. > > So now it would be much appreciated if you added libdvdnav-dev to the > build deps. Install libdvdnav-dev, MPlayer's configure will pick it up automatically. This is not, however, suitable for the general-purpose package, at least not yet. If you are feeling adventurous you can try Subversion and fiddle with MPlayer's fork of libdvdnav. YMMV. Diego -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
