Is > this plugin meant to be an alternative to that or something? IMHO the VCD plugin is better suited for playing VCDs as it has been always problematic to play VCDs with MPlayer via a script. The reason is that MPlayer needs a track to play (vcd://1 or vcd://2), and VCDs do not always have the main track at the same position. So, e.g. in my mplayer.sh I set the track to play #2 as most VCDs that I own have the main track as #2, but not all of them are like this. Those VCDs fail to play... Earlier versions of MPlayer allowed a URL like vcd://, but this no longer works :( IMO the mplayer plugin should only be used to play video files, not VCDs and not DVDs, as this is nearly impossible to script it right. For this reason I'm very reluctant to support this kind of usage in my mplayer.sh script.
