Dear mplayer users,

I am having a little problem, I have some dvds which have menus and while I can see the menu with dvdnav:// I would like to be able to play all of them since I cannot click on menu to play one at a time. Is there a way to script it to play

mplayer dvd://1, then mplayer dvd://2; till we finish all titles in a dvd mplayer dvd://last where last is the last title in the dvd?

I found out command to get # of titles in dvd:

mplayer dvd:// -identify -frames 0
from

If I didn't misunderstand your question the answer is:

Playing multiple titles in order with one mplayer invocation is
supported and documented at least at the top of the man page.

E.g. you can use

mplayer dvd://2-9


You could also specify something like dvd://1-50 and mplayer will
report it could not open the excess titles.

Does it work for you?

Right. The OP could also use smplayer and aim it (via the open) at
/dev/sr0 as follows:
open -> Disc -> Audio CD
OR
open -> Disc -> DVD from drive

Thanks for your help.

No problem. If you feel the dvd:// URL format is not
sufficiently documented, please tell us!

that part of your email.
