Please disregard the parent post, I gave wrong info- I am tired. Playing both the DVD root and VIDEO_TS with libdvdnavmini.so.4.1.3 yields the same results: ,---- | Playing dvdnav://. | libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version SVN-r1153 | libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access | libdvdread: Couldn't find device name. | libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. | libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/karnak/.dvdnav/.map' | libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00000000. Regions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | mplayer: /usr/src/packages/BUILD/dvdnav/src/vm/vm.c:1071: play_Cell: Assertion `0' failed. | | | MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: open_stream | - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen. | It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your | gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read | DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and | won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug. `---- Where as playing both directories works fine with libdvdnavmini.so.4.1.1. Sorry for the confusion.
