    Hi td741,

    @Spidey:
    Are you going through the icon tooltypes or command line options? I just go through the tooltypes and I set the DVD_TITLE, DVD_DEVICE and DVD_UNIT. (Not 100% if those are the tooltypes since I'm not near my Pegasos at the moment. :P)


    Well, I just installed mplayer and put its icon into a panel.
    If I want to use it I just click its icon on the panel. When started I see the filerequester.
    So as an answer I guess I use the tooltypes, but until now I haven't done anything with it.
    It would be nice to be able to see a movie from start to end in one go :-D

    Okay... Out of your list, I've got Princess Mononoke Region 1. I'll give it a go once I get home. Thanks!

    @Spidey
    All the tooltyps should be already there on your mplayer icon, you just need to enable the DVD_TITLE one and make sure that the DVD_DEVICE is set properly. (There are equivalent values for VCD's too.) I don't know if there are tooltypes for the language settings though.

    I've tried Princess Mononoke Region 1 disk, and it still froze.

    Interestingly enough, I recently tried running a DivX film off of the DVD drive (well it was on CD) and that ran just fine. Then I tried to play a VOB file directly and it froze. I then copied the VOB file to my harddrive and then it seem to run just fine.

    Anyway have any clues?

    It seems to work now!!! :) I got it to play without freezing! :) I moved it to my primary slave. I just don't get it because I had it there initially, and my system didn't want to boot. Argh. Oh well. :) Works now except it's a bit jittery. :(
