Mplayer: what title is playing when using the dvdnav option?
 

Greetings

I have a question about mplayer. When I want to play a dvd title I usually use VLC and mplayer mostly.

Sometimes I use VLC to get the title number and then switch to mplayer to play the disc with mplayer dvd://<title number>

I do have some DVDs that VLC won't load, and sometimes I use the dvdnav option with mplayer

The dvdnav makes mplayer display the navigation menus like VLC does. When I click on the play button, the movie starts playing as usual.

My question is how can I find what title number mplayer is playing when I use the dvdnav method?

Thanks in advance

Try using the -identify option (and quit once the first screen appears).

An example of the output in the terminal:

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
