DVD menu in Gnome movie player

blastradius · 11-26-2008, 03:15 PM

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and thought I'd watch a DVD for a change, movie player just boots straight into the film rather than the main menu screen whereas VLC gives the option of going to the menu. Movie player version 2.22.1 by the way.

The movie player go menu has the option 'DVD menu' but it doesn't work.

Is there a way to get movie player booting to the DVD menu or where do I set which program is the default for this application.

Thanks

Mplayer doesn't have menu support, so you will need to look at GXine or VLC (I like Kaffeine, but that's a KDE app and will need you to download KDE libraries to install it).

mplayer -dvd-device ~/dulieu/tinaturnerliveinarmsterdam.out dvdnav://

It's not Mplayer I'm referring to, it's the default Gnome player (listed as movie player).

Do you know which movie player it is? Look at Help>About or in one of the menus.

Ah! yes that would help wouldn't it, sorry it just says movie player in the menu but I should have listed:-

Totem Movie Player 2.22.1

Sorry about that.
