Hi all,

Here is my first attempt to package mplayer with dvd support :

Download packages here :

http://bigbob.fun.free.fr/mplayer_1....emo1_armel.deb
http://bigbob.fun.free.fr/libdvdnav4_4.1.2-3_armel.deb
http://bigbob.fun.free.fr/libdvdread...7-11_armel.deb

Activate all repositories following this tutorial : http://thenokiablog.com/2009/10/27/m...-applications/

Then, as usual, as root, install with :

Code:

cd where_you_put_packages
dpkg -i mplayer_1.0svn20091221+libdvdread-support-0maemo1_armel.deb libdvdnav4_4.1.2-3_armel.deb libdvdread3_0.9.7-11_armel.deb

Fix all missing packages with :

Code:

apt-get install missing1 missing2 missing3 missingXX

You probably want to set defaults parameters for mplayer, so I propose you create a file '/home/user/.mplayer/config', containing :

Code:

fs=yes
ao=pulse,alsa,sdl:aalib
stop-xscreensaver=yes
framedrop = yes
alang = fr

Obviously, change 'alang' parameter with your preferred language here

Well, ok, but dvd support for what ???

For something like that :

Code:

mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device /home/user/MyDocs/Reservoir\ Dogs.iso

Hope you like it

...

A++

What about Blu-Ray?

just kidding.

Nice work. I can even see some use cases for this. Rip a couple of dvds to the n900. Bring the A/V out cable and you can hook it up to the hotell tv and watch dvds. Awesome.

The problem was I don't know how to do that

If someone can drive me step by step ...

I have also made many others packages, one of these is 'pingus' but this one cannot be optified properly, so if someone can fix the 'maemo-optify-deb' script under scratchbox ...

Well, this is just peachy. In fact, I've been wanting something like this since I got the N810. So, please, someone guide his hand on the travel to extras devel.

Every hotel I've tried that on has had the "Source" toggle input on the TV disabled.
