two issues with 1.0.8

[Liviu Andronic]

Dear all,
I see too issues in gnome-mplayer 1.0.8.

First, I cannot gnome-mplayer dvd://1 . Instead of opening the first
stream, as mplayer does, gnome-mplayer forces the DVD menus. Is this
expected?

Second, the subtitles menus are permanently disabled. See attached:

Regards,
Liviu

Yes, as it was determined that DVD support for menus was good and I
felt this should be the default mode that mplayer is started in for
that media type.

In the final release of 1.0.8 there was a fix for this. You might be
running one of the 1.0.8 betas that had a problem with this.

This may be suboptimal in some cases. Here when playing DVD with
menus, some visual artifacts related to menu-selection occurred and
were kept for the entire duration of the movie. For this reason I had
to attempt playing the DVD without menus (and had to default to plain
mplayer in the end).

While keeping the default with menus, it would be a nicer user
experience to be able to force Gnome MPlayer to play any specific DVD
stream, especially if launched from the cli. (I would even argue that
gnome-mplayer dvd://1 and mplayer dvd://1 should behave similarly, or
at least this is what I think that users would expect.) Maybe offer a
--no-dvd-menus switch?

I installed 1.0.8 from the Ubuntu PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ed10vi86/+archive/video . This is the source
archive that was used for building the packages:
https://launchpad.net/~ed10vi86/+archive/video/+files/gnome-mplayer_1.0.8.orig.tar.gz
. But I can't say if it is a beta or not.

Liviu
