Hi,

I never really played around with DVD player till recently and found that it uses Xine. It wont let me use the enter button (Silver Hauppauge) remote so I can't really watch the movie, and its not very intuitive. I love myth video I have many DVD Rips on there they play great menus work perfectly and is very intuitive. Why is there a difference? Why can't DVD Player work exactly like Myth video. I just want a easy to use clean looking video player, and Myth video is exactly that. Can I make DVD player work identical to it?

What version of KM are you using? I thought the video and DVD players were set to "Internal" since at least R5E50 (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

If you have a current version of KM switch your DVD player setting to Internal

Im running current, How do you get it to run internal? I checked video and it shows mplayer with additional stuff and DVD shows Xine. Is there a different place to use internal. I would prefer to use it.

If you are using Mplayer for your videos and that's what you want to use for DVDs, change your DVD player setting to match that. Otherwise enter "Internal" (no quotes).

These are set in Setup -> Media Settings -> [Video, DVD, etc]

And be sure to cap that I!

"internal" <> "Internal"

I remember that, because I learned the hard way....

I ran into the same problem when I did a clean install of R5F27. I was running R5D1

I had to redo the lircd.conf to get it to work. But I will have to check out this fix. Sounds like a better one.

Hi Thanks for all the input.
The strange thing is video looks internal, it has that menu like tv recordings do when you hit menu, and you can go back to root menu and change audio and subtitles has all the same features look as tv recordings. But in the settings it says mplayer. I might have been looking in the wrong place but im almost positive it is internal. I'll try changing it in DVD player. I did a fresh install it was not an upgrade.

Tim,
I wasn't really addressing shrabok's remote issue, I had keyed in on

so I was responding to that.

Of course, if you find that you like the Internal player better than what you are using now, that's part of the beauty of KM - Choices! :wink:

What is the output of (in an Xterm)
Code:
mysql mythconverg
select * from settings where value="mythdvd.DVDPlayerCommand";
select * from settings where value="VideoDefaultPlayer";
quit

I keyed on
Quote:

and was confirming that something had changed. I will have to see what my database says when I get a chance. It's good to know that I have other choices then retool the remote config

Ahhh, OK. And yours was a fresh R5F27 install? I didn't realize those player settings had changed. Thanks for the heads up, Tim.

Yes I can confirm something changed but I don't know what it was.

See the Understanding LIRC configuration thread for some suggestion on how to configure your remote to work with xine. Also, I strongly recommend making sure that you are using xine rather than the MythTV builtin player which still has some bizarre navigation bugs.
Code:
root@black2:~# mysql mythconverg -e "select * from settings where value like '%Player%'"
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+----------+
| value                    | data                                             | hostname |
+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+----------+
| DVDPlayerCommand         | xine -pfhq --no-splash --no-logo --auto-scan dvd | black2   |
| VideoDefaultPlayer       | /usr/bin/mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xv %s      | black2   |
| VCDPlayerCommand         | xine -pfhq --no-splash --no-logo --auto-scan vcd | black2   |
| GalleryMoviePlayerCmd    | mplayer -fs %s                                   | black2   |
| mythdvd.DVDPlayerCommand | xine -pfhq --auto-scan dvd                       | black2   |

So I tried internal and it works perfectly. There was one or two glitchy factors, but realistically, its way nicer and more functional to use. I love the way it work with the remote and I find it looks more integrated into KM. Thanks for all the help guys.

If I had to guess, I would say that's probably why the MythtTV developers decided to call it "Internal" :wink:
