[DVDnav-discuss] Fwd: dvdnav://1 fails to play

[Roger Pack]

No real answer from the mplayer side on this question...re-posing here :)


---------- Forwarded message ----------
Noticed the other day with a (fairly mundane?) DVD (teenage mutant
ninja turtles)

$ mplayer dvdnav://
works splendidly

$ mplayer dvdnav://1
basically just results in this message over and over again:

DVDNAV stream read error!
DVDNAV stream read error!

though starting at chapter 2, then it starts playing ok again.

I don't think this is a dvdcss thing, as it doesn't report any errors.

dvd://1 also works fine.
VLC works fine, even starting with chapter 1.

other possible sightings:

Any ideas what might be lacking in the mplayer code here? Some absent
initialization/bootstrapping perhaps?
