Yes.

It works, thank you! I think most people will not know what to do, if the mouse
is not working in the menu. The easiest fix for them is to switch to another
player. Is there a way to make this behaviour more obvious? An initial overlay
might suffice: "Use the Arrow Keys to navigate and Enter to confirm.". What do
you think?

Maybe now is the time for a feature request, because this is probably the wrong
place, but:
Is there a way to show only forced subtitles on DVD's with multiple foreign
languages like Game Of Thrones for example? -> There is no good DVD playback
application with this feature apart from SMPlayer, GNOME Videos and Parole
where only the first is working with KDE Plasma. But neither has good support
for starting playback from within KDE Plasma. Even VLC does not support it.
