Bug#430211: no dvdnav:// support

2007-06-28 Thread A Mennucc
hi

I am the Debian-mantainer of mplayer, and I will not activate the
dvdnav flag as long as upstream (*) advise against it.

a.

(*) Diego, in this case - but I also saw a thread in mplayer-dev-eng
  saying that dvdnav still needs a lot of work

I am sorry about that

some people are working on dvdnav ; as soon as it is considered
reasonably usable, I will enable it

The EULA sounds like it was written by a team of lawyers who want to tell 
me what I can't do, and the GPL sounds like it was written by a human 
being who wants me to know what I can do.

 This is because MPlayer does not support DVD menus.  What is the thing

I just rebuilt your source and now dvdnav support is present. Did you 
install libdvdnav-dev?

Mplayer supports dvd menus through libdvdnav.

 From the manpage:

SYNOPSIS

mplayer [dvd|dvdnav]://[title|[start_title]-end_title] [options]


Maybe you didn't enable dvdnav support?

Why are you reporting something that is happening with your recompiled
MPlayer here in the BTS?

Note that MPlayer *really* does not support DVD menus, much less the
version in Etch.  Do not be fooled by the fact that things happen when
you have libdvdnav-dev lying around during compilation, DVD menu support
is not one of those things ...

Call it a missing feature if you will. mplayer *does* support dvd menus 
(it's even *hinted* at in the manpage, read it) if you have libdvdnav 
installed. 

But for that to happen the very wise package maintainer must *first* 
(you seem to like these asterisks) not forget to *install* 
libdvdnav-dev.

Otherwise what happens, pretty please pray tell?

Then us poor Sony dvd users can't watch our movies because that company 
implements a copy protection scheme that *only* dvdnav:// can 
workaround.

So now it would be much appreciated if you added libdvdnav-dev to the 
build deps.

Thanks for your consideration.

 (it's even *hinted* at in the manpage, read it) if you have libdvdnav 
 installed. 

I wrote the man page and I happen to be a long-time MPlayer developer.
I know what I'm talking about here.

MPlayer has never in the past or present supported DVD menus.

 But for that to happen the very wise package maintainer must *first* 
 (you seem to like these asterisks) not forget to *install* 
 libdvdnav-dev.

MPlayer uses libdvdread to access DVDs, which is the supported and
tested way to do this.  Using libdvdnav for this is experimental at
best.

 Then us poor Sony dvd users can't watch our movies because that company 
 implements a copy protection scheme that *only* dvdnav:// can 
 workaround.
 
 So now it would be much appreciated if you added libdvdnav-dev to the 
 build deps.

Install libdvdnav-dev, MPlayer's configure will pick it up
automatically.  This is not, however, suitable for the general-purpose
package, at least not yet.

If you are feeling adventurous you can try Subversion and fiddle with
MPlayer's fork of libdvdnav.  YMMV.

Diego
