[mythtv-users] DVD player support

[Jason Ramey]

DVD support is already available through mplayer. I created a little
DVD/SVCD entry for my main menu. It executes the following shell script
to watch the DVD:

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0.0
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -nolirc -zoom -quiet -dvd 1

The SVCD script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0.0
/usr/local/bin/mplayer -fs -nolirc -zoom -quiet -vcd 2

The DVD/SVCD menu I created looks like this:

<mythmenu name="DVD and SVCD">

   <button>
     <type>DVD</type>
     <text>DVD</text>
     <action>EXEC mythdvd</action>
   </button>

   <button>
     <type>SVCD</type>
     <text>SVCD</text>
     <action>EXEC mythsvcd</action>
   </button>
</mythmenu>

The main menu entry looks like this:

   <button>
     <type>DVD and SVCD</type>
     <text>DVD and SVCD</text>
     <action>MENU dvdmenu.xml</action>
     <depends>mythvideo-settings.txt</depends>
   </button>

Hope that helps!

Hello group,

are there any plans or even efforts to add DVD playing capabilities to 
mythtv?

I tested some PVRs and mythtv looks the most promising to me, however 
DVD playing is important to me.
