[MPlayer-dvb] MPlayer-dvb Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1

[Bill Pringlemeir]

I think that the svn menu.conf is broken.  Try this menu.conf in
~/.mplayer,

<keybindings name="default">
    <binding key="UP" cmd="menu up" />
    <binding key="DOWN" cmd="menu down" />
    <binding key="LEFT" cmd="menu left" />
    <binding key="RIGHT" cmd="menu right" />
    <binding key="ENTER" cmd="menu ok" />
    <binding key="ESC" cmd="menu cancel" />
    <binding key="HOME" cmd="menu home" />
    <binding key="END" cmd="menu end" />
    <binding key="PGUP" cmd="menu pageup" />
    <binding key="PGDWN" cmd="menu pagedown" />
</keybindings>

<dvbsel title="List channels" name="dvbsel" />

<cmdlist name="main" title="MPlayer OSD menu" ptr="<>" >
      <e name="Channels" ok="set_menu dvbsel"/>
      <e name="Quit" ok="quit"/>
</cmdlist>

I think there was a menu.dvb.conf or some such in the svn repository.
I don't know which version you are using?  SVN, a distro, your own?

This is working with the latest SVN.  I doubt it has to do with your
card.  This changed sometime in the recent past (approx April?).  I
had to change my menu.conf then and not use the svn version.

Fwiw,
Bill Pringlemeir.
