Full DVD-video playback with menus (and DVD-Video related suggestions)

how would i map the menu button on the remote to the dvd player's menu function? i can't figure it out from the keymap.xml file.

under the <fullscreenvideo> section, in the <remote> section, change the <menu> command to:

<menu>showvideomenu</menu>

cheers,
jonathan

when this is put into a release, will it be easy for the dvd playback capabilities to go back upstream into mplayer?

the full source code is in the cvs so you don't have to wait for a point release if you want the code, but to answer your question; no it wouldn't be easy to port xbmc's dvd-playback capabilities to mplayer because mplayer isn't used in xbmc play dvds (so it couldn't be passed "upstream" as it was never taken 'downstream'); in short our developers decided that it was to hard, too much work and too inpractical to integrate it into the mplayer-core (read more on why that ishere) so instead our developers wrote their own separate player-core based on ffmpeg to handle dvd-video discs/movies.        ...however you should know that the mplayer-developers themself have now started porting libdvdnav to mplayer, you can read more about that in mplayer-dev-eng mailing-list (however note that it has nothing to do with xbmc so please don't discuss that here as it's off-topic!.

and there is anyway to do it? maybe other software to xbox?

it's a very important feature for me. i need it!!

Quote: msdash dvd-player can only play subs that come with the dvd, (xbmc can use/display example .srt or separate vobsub too).

can xbmc play dvd with external subtitles or not?

because i read many post saying is not possible, or suggesting as a new feature:

thanks for your help

the dvdplayer only understands real dvd subtitles, not external ones yet.

actually i already programmed some stuff for external subtitles (srt is already working in normal movies, but disabled).
i have some ideas on how to implement this for dvd's, but it is a bit harder than for normal movies (you don't know what the main movie is on a dvd and thus when the external subtitle should be used). an idea is to use external subtitles at the moment you use the file browser to search for subtitles during the main movie. but i could use some ideas for this, and are external subtitles for dvd's really needed?
