For most users, just use omxplayer as before. dvdplayer is currently just for testers.
dvdplayer allows dvds with menus and software codecs (like DivX 3) to be played, but it's still experimental.

EDIT: Also, it support ALSA, so is required for sound cards like HifiBerry.

I noticed on the Mar 13 build that the Back button on XBMC Remote app for Android behavior has changed. During playback of library videos, instead of SmallStepBack, it now overlays the menu over the content playing. This button already exists at the very top of the remote app.

Was this an intentional change? Is there any way to change it back?

This is not a change [edit] in any recent build [/edit], it was a change in Gotham a long time ago.
Some devs thought that the back button actually should use action "back" in fullscreen video.

I disagree (since it is not a good function if all you have is CEC or a simple remote/app) so I have remapped it back to smallstepback.

thanks for the new build!

Just tried the 'Updated Gotham build 20140320 in post #937' above using the code above. I had issues with:

pi@raspbmc:~/.upgrade/xbmc-13-20140320-nc3/xbmc-bcm/xbmc-bin/lib/xbmc/system$ cp /usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.1.0 .
cp: cannot stat `/usr/local/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.1.0': No such file or directory

but i carried on regardless and Rasbmc boots.

The experimental DVD support in dvdplayer - how would that work on an RPi ? Would that only be usable with a USB DVD drive directly plugged in ?

It's usually used with a dvd image (either a .iso file or a folder structure containing a VIDEO_TS directory).

Just started using these builds after using the stable for a long long time. Very impressive. Tons faster!

BTW is there a way to determine which nightly build you are on.
a grep of the xbmc.log says:
22:14:31 22.455128 T:3037074064 NOTICE: Starting XBMC (14.0-ALPHA1 Git:Unknown). Platform: ARM Linux 32-bit

What's the exact edit to achieve this? I have searched the userdata folder and UI.

Thanks!

Interested myself, as when playing a video, the back button doesn't do SmallStepback.

Gonna have a look at remote.xml in new builds, and compare to XBMC Frodo Live version. see what I can edit into my remote.xml to bring back similar functions.
