[MPlayer-users] audio title on dvd does not play, possible bug

Fri Aug 1 17:04:43 CEST 2003

I know the subject sounds like I am an idiot who hasn't RTFM.

I have a dvd named "Don't Look Back", it is a music documentary, which
has audio tracks on it.

There are three titles to this disc, the first two are video/audio and
the third is the set of audio tracks mentioned above. For the chapters
(which are the audio tracks) of this third title, a still image is
displayed while the audio is played. So it may be interpreted as a very
small or even zero length video stream.

MPlayer plays the first two titles without any problems, MPlayer exits
on the third before anything (audio or video (ie. the still images)) are
played. This is using MPlayer compiled from the CVS snapshot 20030731.

I have tried various combinations of "-hardframedrop" and "-vo null -vc
null" among other runtime options. Nothing seems to change the
diagnostic output (or cause MPlayer to play the title). Output is listed
at the end of this email.

This third (audio only) title plays correctly under xine. And I
successfully play many "normal" dvd titles under MPlayer, this leads me
to believe that this is a bug in MPlayer.

I am guessing that the developers would need access to the dvd to debug
this one. What else can I do to help?
