Description

Many DVDs has the main feature at Track 2 or 3, with trailers at track1.
Is there a way to access the main feature of these discs.

I have been trying to hack additional parameters (without much knowledge) mplayer dvd://3 OR dvd://3 OR -dvd 3 as people suggested to me. Without luck. Maybe track selection is not a "parameter".
Any chance of having it added to the menues?
Possible to do in the terminal?

Please!

All the best, rogerATlineaudio.se

Hi again,
I tried to start a DVD movie from the terminal with dvd://3 (the actual feature), It then started the feature, but now I can not get subtitle. I can select it alright, but it fails to show any.

After trying to select subtitle the Terminal says:Failed to set property 'sub_demux' to '2'.
Failed to get value of property 'sub_demux'.

With rev9 and rev10 I have been able to start the feature, track3 with the included mplayer package and with subtitle, by adding(in the terminal):
-slang sv dvd://3
(I didn't get this to work with the mplayer in rev 8.) Ofcourse I would rather like to use the nice MplayerExtended interface.

I tried loading the vob:s directly. They play, but I can not get the subtitle to work. Otherwise this would smooth woraround.

I then tried save the DVD Video_TS folder to the harddrive and renaming all the VTS_03 files to VTS_01. Yup. It works.
I can not see the difficulty in letting MplayerExt play/swap the VTS_0X files as if they were VTS_01.
If this is something that works for all DVD:s I do not know. I tried three of them and they worked.
