I have started backing up my Blu-rays decrypted to my hard drive and
came across one that uses seamless playback based on watching the
theatrical or uncut version and wondered it mplayer could get the
ability to read the mpls playlist so I don't have to remux the parts
together with tsMuxer. Or create a second playlist that mplayer can
read.

I found a GPL'd mpls_dump program that can read and dump mpls info so
it should not be hard for someone to incorporate the code. (I can't
even code a "Hello World" so it can't be me.


mpls_dump is in the bdtools archive on http://www.stebbins.biz/source/


example info it can give

#figure out what playlist is the movie
MOVIE/BDMV/PLAYLIST$ mpls_dump -f *
00001.mpls -- Duration: minutes  109:27
00002.mpls -- Duration: minutes  132:52
00206.mpls -- Duration: minutes   25:10
00207.mpls -- Duration: minutes   12:25



and

#view which videos to play in which order
MOVIE/BDMV/PLAYLIST$ mpls_dump -l 00002.mpls
00002.mpls -- Duration: minutes  132:52
