cd /usr/portage/local/

I couldn't get encrypted dvds to play without installing libdvdcss since the external dvdread libs in libdvdnav apparently do not support encrypted dvds.

I can't seem to find anything in "man mplayer" that covers DVD navigation. Also, is there a keyboard command to return to the toplevel DVD menu, in the middle of a segment that’s being played?

First, much thanks for providing the ebuilds. I downloaded 'em and got 'em compiled nicely, without the help of layman thankyouverymuch! gmplayer doesn't work after being launched from the menu, then using the standard right-click context menu to "Open disc". The program crashes with a signal 11 error if you try to use the navigation keys. Never brings up the DVD menu, either. It can't. It also doesn't work if you try running gmplayer dvdnav:// from the commandline. Phooey. Running mplayer dvdnav:// from the commandline <em>does</em> work, and it's even better with -mouse-movements. The problem then is...you're running it from the commandline, which is so damnawful stoneage my head 'asplodes. And I have no idea how to control stuff while using the commandline. Neither I nor my wife want to have to resort to the commandline to watch stuff; that's what GUIs are for! So I'll prolly be going back to the (crappier) Menu --> Launch gmplayer --> right click in gmplayer window --> DVD --> Open Disc --> Title --> play the "guess which title has the feature I want" game. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. Such is the sad state of DVD playback on Linux. :( Unless, if course, I figure out what commandline switches there are to launch a fullscreen dvdnav:// mplayer, and add a launcher for it to my menu...hmmm... You get all that? :D Hey Steve.

Well this version of mplayer builds its own libdvdread so I just put media-libs/libdvdread-9999 in package.provided and edited a couple of ebuilds which had =media-libs/libdvdread-0.9.7* to read =media-libs/libdvdread-9999 and recompiled everything-no problems compiling anything. still havent exhaustedly tested things but everything compiled fine.....
