MPlayer and DVD's
Andy Staszko
S/W: eCS 2.0rc5 (SMP and SNAP installed from rc5)
I have just installed the latest drop of mplayer (r29359-os2-4.4.0).
I plays all my clips (mpg's wmv's etc) perfectly but wont play dvd's.
This is my mplayer config file:
cache=12288
cache-min=30
user-agent=NSPlayer/4.1.0.3856
vo=kva
ao=dart
really-quiet=yes
fixed-vo=yes
colorkey=0x000001
dvd-device=s:
and this is the log when attempting to play a dvd (Ratatouille in this case):

I think the problem is in cracking the CSS key for the DVD. The
relevant part of the log shows this problem...
I suggest you to try with some DVD CSS-less and see what happens.
Have luck.

Just one reference point: I have two DVD drives, and on older one of
them DeCSS succeeds, on another one it fails. The older one is about
4-5 years old (one of the first cheap DLs).
AFAIK, there was some slack in the standard which allowed certain
parts of driver-to-drive communications to be covered or not by
encryption (zone-related keys???). When these exchanges are not
covered by encryption, DeCSS always succeeds; on newer drives, it (has
a chance to) fail(s).
It may be that even the newer would work on in-zone DVDs; I did not
try to set zone on it, and/or investigate further...

I had the same results almost except even for the old one I had to rip
an ISO with dvddao then play that. The new one always gave seek errors.

I think the newer drives used region coding on top of css. There are
firmware sidegrades out there for most players. I never did try one but
in theory they should help.

had playback issues for me and does not appear to be in continued
develpment, so . . . .
I installed MPlayer (mplayer-dev-SVN-r29359-OS2-4.4.0.zip). While it
seems to play any one *file* OK, I'm unable to play a DVD when specified
AS a DVD.
The DVD drive works OK with WarpVision, and MPlayer plays individual
files OK from the DVD in the drive.
For example, I can play one VOB from a DVD in drive T: , and it plays
OK.

Thanks for the link to that PDF. Unfortunately, it helps not at all.
For the error I receive about . . .
> e:/psfonts/trebuc.ttf doesn't look like a bitmap font description, ignoring.
> Cannot load bitmap font: e:/psfonts/trebuc.ttf
. . . the advice given in that PDF is to copy trebuc.ttf from where it is
now to %home%/.mplayer, and rename it to subfont.ttf
I did just try that, but the error msg does not change, and my %home%
does point to that directory. However, I have these in CONFIG.SYS:
SET MPLAYER_HOME=d:\mplayer
SET MPLAYER_CODECS_DIR=d:\mplayer\codecs
SET MPLAYER_PATH=d:\mplayer\mplayer.exe
So I also copied subfont.ttf to D:\MPlayer too: no change.
Additional clue that that wouldn't have worked anyway: from the err msg,
mplayer is finding trebuc.ttf where it normally resides (and how does
mplayer know to look in E:\PSFONTS?), but is expecting it to be a bitmap
font. This doesn't sound like a "file not found" kind of error.
----------------
I did set MPLAYER_OPTIONS as the PDF recommends.
The PDF (from two years ago, and referring to an older version of
mplayer) recommends a batch file to play the VOB files in order, rather
than treating the DVD as a, well, DVD.
Am I to infer that the mplayer parameter "dvd://<track>" is unsupported
in the OS/2 port?
> Also look at smplayer, newest one is at ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/smplayer/
I have that -- I actually started this mplayer adventure by installing
the GUI and finding that it would not play a DVD. It does not play, of
couse, because SMPlayer passes mplayer the same parameters I'm
attempting to debug here, namely:
D:/MPlayer/mplayer.exe [ . . . ] -dvd-device T: dvd://1
Since that doesn't work standalone, it also doesn't work with a GUI in
front of it :/
[
While on the subject of SMPlayer:
1) Options|View Logs|MPlayer gives a dialogue which has a button at the
lower right to copy the log to the clipboard. However, it does NOT
perform the copy. Is there a bugtracker for SMPlayer?
2) Open|File brings up a dialogue which shows "Computer" and "home" in
the left nav pane. Attempting to show "Computer" and its drives is very
annoying: it apparently traverses the OS' tree of available drives, and
for every drive that is currently unavailable (in my case, S: has no CD
in it, I: has no USB Mass Storage Device inserted, and diskette drives
A: & B: are empty), I have to click on an OS error dialogue (SYS0039:
Drive x: is not ready) SIX (SIX!!) times, each returning the error to
SMPlayer, before the right pane is popluated with drives that are
available. That's an error that needs fixin'

The readme.eng that is included with the 4.4.0 package implies that my
syntax should operate:
=======================================
9.1 How to set DVD drive
------------------------
To set DVD drive, use the following option.
-dvd-device x:
9.2 How to play DVD without menu
--------------------------------
To play DVD without menu, use the following option.
dvd://[track number]
You can omit [track number].

OK,
D:\MPlayer\config
contains
# Write your default config options here!
vo=kva:wo
font=e:/psfonts/trebuc.ttf
subfont=e:/psfonts/trebuc.ttf
subfont-osd-scale=3
So, that's how mplayer knows where to look for trebuc.ttf.
Now, why does it complain about it?

What do you mean by a ripped DVD ? Is it a file ? '-dvd-device' should
be used with a real dvd device not a hard drive disk.

Do not see where it would answer this... Could you be more specific?
[As you can see, the $HOME/.mplayer/config file is already present,
and redirects font= and subfont= to correct files (each of these
lines leads to one of 2 warnings above).
It is just the warnings which are so annoying...]

IIRC it depends on the version of MPlayer and whether fontconfig is
linked to it.
I do have a %HOME%\.mplayer\font.1 directory containing the contents of
http://src.gnudarwin.org/ports/multimedia/emovix/work/emovix0.9.0/mplayerfonts/centralEUcp1250/
and also %HOME%\.mplayer\subfont.ttf which is a symlink to
E:\psfonts\ttf\arial.ttf.
My memories of the discussions about these fonts is hazy but I don't get
any errors and subtitles display fine.

For me it usually works though I do have some DVDs where I get the same
problem as you. These are very cheap DVDs of public domain stuff.
This also may be partly hardware dependent. My last DVD player had all
kinds of problems playing DVDs, both in Linux and OS/2.
It died and I replaced it with a player that works much better.

I'd guess that these (including below) are actually QT4 bugs. Understand
that QT4 is in the process of being ported and is at best beta quality
and for some things alpha quality. Hopefully as the port is finished
these issues will go away.
That said, there is a QT4 bug tracker at (start here)
http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4/wiki#ReportingBugs
not sure about QT4 apps.

I have tried both, pointing
-dvd-device T: (real DVD drive)
and
-dvd-device G: (HDD with mirror of files from DVD)

Weird, it was there yesterday. Anyways I don't remember where I got the
font, just used Google with this query to find them, 'Subtitle font for
cp1250 encoding, "Arial Regular" face'
I could also send the font to you privately.

Well a copy works as good as a symlink, the important thing I think is
the name and location.

Why do you need a special font? Just let MPlayer know that your
subtitles are in cp1250 (how would this happen?! I think you get some
misunderstanding of how MPlayer works).
The version I have (MPlayer dev-SVN-r25844-OS2-3.3.5, I think it is
Paul's compile) happily shows subtitles in any encoding - as far as I
inform MPlayer about the encoding (auto-guessing is not compiled in).
(MPlayer is redirected to use d:/psfonts/ARIAL.TTF for both OSD and
subtitles.)
Yours,
Ilya

It's a rather silly message, but it's safe to ignore.

What's the file system on the dvd? When I had this error some months ago
I found that the dvd (a pretty old retail one) was using cdfs rather
than udf.
