Hmm, It freezed for language selection with "The Matrix" dvd,
worked for some others... I think it has sthg to do with the
still frames which aren't properly integrated at the moment
(donno ?).

ö? There is a key assigned but I didn't get any visual
"feedback". The text message was (example):
DVDNAV Event: Highlight button 3 (0,12760)-(0,12632) PTS 819462144 (now is 26.49)

good for you...

ö? Now I'm confused... I always get a "Cannot seek in DVDNAV
streams yet!" (it just jumps about 10s never more) and afaik it
isn't implemented yet in dvdnav/mplayer.

Donno, I didn't see any difference between normal -dvdnav (got
the menu, not the movie).

ö? What do you mean? The button worked for me...

MPlayer is not designed to use libdvdnav or to handle such
interactive things (and mouse navigation and much more).
It would need a restructure which won't happen for the next
few years... IMHO someone should separate all libdvdnav
functions and integrate them in MPlayer to let MPlayer handle
all the stuff on it's own way (not through libdvdnav).
Otherwise it's just a big unusable mess. I'd even delete it
or move it to unapplied patches if nobody is interested to
work on it (Kees Cook ;).
I only needed it to play dvds with complex title id sets
(20 title ids, main movie: 6,7,16,17,18) and I hate menus ;)
I'd more like an option to guess the main movie than those menus
(as in dvdbackup).
