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

Code:
mplayer dvdnav:// -mouse-movements
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:
Code:
$ mplayer -identify dvdnav:// -mouse-movements -dvd-device ......

Remember to disable MPlayer's cache when playing dvdnav:// streams (adding -nocache to your command line)
DVDNAV, switched to title: 1
audio stream: 0 format: ac3 (stereo) language: en aid: 128.
