After testing playing around with the dvdplugin, it seems
to have great potential!
1) One of the things I'd like to see is ("autoplay"), i.e.
the movie starts when a dvd is inserted. Don't know how
vdr could handle that. (... yes, I have kids.. :-) )
2) while we talk about that, eject/retract from the remote
control...
3) more important: Possibility to "continue" viewing from
where you left off. This would probably mean keeping a
db about dvds seen...
4) option to jump straight to the movie, bypassing ads
and menus. Setting audio & subtitles according to
preferences. These should be conditionals like
- swe audio available --> swe audio, no subtitles, else
- fin audio available, prefer swe subs, else no subs
- eng audio available, prefer swedish subs, else no subs
In most cases a few scenarios fill all the needs.
5) option menu for subtitle languages like the one for
audio
6) Configuration/learning of the remote keys. There are a
few keys on my remote that vdr does not use (skip
forward/backward), which could be used for
next/previous chapter.
7) The possibility to "rip" a dvd. I'd like to keep the dvds
safe in my bookshelf and let the kids play them from
vdr...
