dvdnav code is actually in MPlayer, but it is currently disabled, with a comment saying that it doesn't work. Some code in MPlayer looks like this:
switch (dvdnav_event->event) {
case DVDNAV_BLOCK_OK: {
/* be silent about this one */
break;
}
case DVDNAV_HIGHLIGHT: {
dvdnav_highlight_event_t *hevent =
(dvdnav_highlight_event_t*)(dvdnav_event->details);
if (!hevent) {
printf("DVDNAV Event: Highlight event broken\n");
break;
}
if (hevent->display && hevent->buttonN>0)
{
//dvdnav_priv->seen_root_menu=1; /* if we got a
highlight, we're on a menu */
sprintf( dvd_nav_text, "Highlight button %d
(%u,%u)-(%u,%u) PTS %d (now is %5.2f)",
hevent->buttonN,
hevent->sx,hevent->sy,
hevent->ex,hevent->ey,
hevent->pts, d_video->pts);
printf("DVDNAV Event: %s\n",dvd_nav_text);
//osd_show_dvd_nav_delay = 60;
osd_show_dvd_nav_highlight=1;
osd_show_dvd_nav_sx=hevent->sx;
osd_show_dvd_nav_ex=hevent->ex;
osd_show_dvd_nav_sy=hevent->sy;
osd_show_dvd_nav_ey=hevent->ey;
}
This looks promising. I hacked up the configure files to force dvdnav
to compile, just so I could see for myself what was up with this
feature. It turns out that dvdnav breaks the compile. Basically, the
code looks to have been written for an older version of
libdvdnav. Some API calls are even missing arguments that are not
anywhere in MPlayer's data structures, which indicates that the fix
will not exactly be trivial.
So, the code is there, but apparently nobody cares enough to get it
working at the moment. Maybe I'll give it a shot in my spare time.
But anyway, your average Joe doesn't need to use DVD menus.
And you might want to take this to another list.
:-P
