(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I don't know exactly. My guess is that there's a command line option to open DVD chapters. The online manual is here https://mpv.io/manual/

Merci step, i shall search. I will write the answer here, if there is one.

mpv is based on mplayer/mplayer2, in order to continue development it has removed lots of code, including support for dvd menus. That was probably not a good idea, but now it's the most advanced player for linux.

When I want to just watch DVDs (the main title) or any video file, i use mpv.. when I want a menu, etc. I use mplayer and its gui frontends.

However xine is a complete media player as well, and the most dvd friendly i guess, however, i wouldn't use it to play anything else, so I had a Xine pet (with many components removed), only to play dvds.

your strategy looks like mine
Gnome-mplayer should do anything including DVDs. a solution is to retrofit version to older one (Pupjibaro jessie).
Then like everybody, i like to try something different, like mpv. Well noted, about DVDs and the menu (i never buy DVDs, the few that i have are gifts)
Merci pour les reponses.

console lovers, biltoo offers a new pet for cmus in X-Slacko Slim topic.
MPV is my peference (the one i prefer).
Cmus offered gratis, last version, by Billtoo

Moc is much better Pelo.

I really like mpv media player, and jlst will be happy of that
Jukebokes are many... CDs and DVDs players (not only audio and video files) have not such a choice.

mpv sucessful in XenialDog, the Debian OS on try in Puppy Forum.

for Dpup stretch too !
"I've been studying mpv a bit, and to my surprise, I found out that it's quite a powerful media player -- except on the face of it, it doesn't look like it is." Musher0 tought, translated in English.

Topic Title updated as Dpup Stretch ad the good idea to change the menu.
That will promote MPV, at least for cabin passengers flying Stretch Puppy

Re: mpv media player Elected by Dpup Strecth !
Show it in the topic title, because people will feed back how good it works
Robert123 has some arguments to tell us.. Wait and see what they are.

Using Xenialpup and it came with MPV built in but I don't know how to adjust the brightness contrast and how to change the aspect ratio of the video. Can someone help me with this?

I tried 456 but it says unavailable.

jss83 i will answer as soon ass MPV running at home..
Users, don't let your colleagues without answer when they are using Puppies after install, install, install.. Install in forum is the leitmotiv..
My purpose this morning is to list applications using Mplayer. Mpv is one of them. Bookmarked.
If you need mplayer, don't use Tahrpup

Jlst, would you edit the title your first post to clarify whether this .pet is for 32- or 64- bit Puppies? Thank you.

You can use Shift+A to change the asprect ratio

Close miss. I've set 'a' to flip/mirror mpv and Ctrl-a to flip back again (handy for those vids where subtitles are mirrored)

Just for the record here are some commonly used options:

CaSe SeNSitiVE MPV controls

j = toggle subtitles
# = toggle audio Stream
A = toggle aspect ratio

ctrl++ Increase audio delay
ctrl+- Decrease audio delay
[ / ] Decrease / increase speed
m Mute / unmute audio

1 / 2 Decrease / increase contrast
3 / 4 Decrease / increase brightness
5 / 6 Decrease / increase gamma
7 / 8 Decrease / increase saturation
9 / 0 Decrease / increase audio volume
w / e Zoom out / in

RIGHT / LEFT Seek 5 seconds
UP / DOWN Seek 60 seconds

p Pause / playback mode
f Toggle fullscreen
m Mute / unmute audio
v Subtitle visibility
s Take a screenshot
S Take a screenshot without subtitles
Q Quit saving current position to watch later
o Show progress
T Toggle video window on top
r / t Move subtitles up / down

Notes:
1. The number keys (e.g. volume 9/0)are those across the top of the keyboard.
(The multimedia volume keys on a K/B if present may also work.)
2. mpv also has it's own unique geometry option which is very good.
3. To quit just use q (lower case) or Alt+F4 or right click taskbar icon & select close.
4. For the full list of options: (447 of them) The first 10 second clip in the following unlisted YouTube video shows mpv in action whilst
a startup sound is also played:

Gnome-MPV is the default mediaplayer in Pupjibaro stretching puppy para los americanos (South).
Helpful info how to use it (just above). Merci les gars.
Terminal speaks English, no se entiende nada !
Only rich people can go to school a long time to learn English enough to understand those topics, so helpful. Could the terminal information be translated in Spanish, and french in a hurry ?
Screenshot : French boy, English Girl, Spanish Puppy (before Brexit)

perhaps mpv has been translated french in Puduan FR, check in progress.
Bingo hu, it, pt, ru and fr available. Not spanish...
I will use fr, with this Pupjibaro stretched
Keyboards shortcuts are translated well enough to allow french passengers to listen music. Les raccourcis clavier sont traduits, pour nous les francophones.
Spanish : voy a ver con Nilson Morales, o JoseJP2424 (jefes de Puppy Latina) Done. Facebook Puppy Argentina later.

MPV for francophones and xenialpup 7 see topic here Voir article Musher ici "Le lecteur mpv-0.14 pour xenialPup-7
La version la plus récente au moment d'écrire ces lignes"
You could had Xenial in the topic title, latest version are 0.26 via PPM and 0.27 is released (tested with Artfulpup, the newest flavour by PeeBee, valid up to april 2018).
72MB are needed in Artfulpup Pet for precise works, only 7MB (tested only with video MP4). Sure version is only 0.14 but it does what i need. I don't need sophisticated stuff.
However Gnome-mplayer will be enough ((yet included, VLC deleted)
It was a try For Artfulpup. mpv-20150814-git-i686-precise.pet: 7569 K
