It has again been a while since I wrote to the list. Now I have managed to create an "out of the box system" by using repositories.
My audio replay is kinda stuttering when replaying DVD's with dvd plugin. It's like the volume would be waving up and down with a rate of about 5Hz. I have a DXR3 and I have tried all possible things I could think of. Anybody had similar problems? I thought I'd try using mplayer plugin for DVDplayback but for some reason my mplayer plugin does not want to play DVD's (don't know why all settings should be correct in mplayer.sh.conf, even set debug to true). On settop player the disk plays fine. I have vdr-1.4.6 and dvd-0.3.6-b03. all installed through yum on a fedora core 7 system. I have actually three systems and it happens on all of them. They all have dxr3 but thats about the similarities they have.

Yes, see the dxr3 plugin's TROUBLESHOOTING file. NPTL (in case it's the problem - I haven't used a non-NPTL system in quite a while) can't be disabled on Fedora 7 though.

Last time I tried it (I suppose you're talking about the vdr-mplayer package from livna.org) it did work for me out of the box. Mplayer didn't have DVD menu support back then - and I don't know if it has nowadays - so I lost interest to experiment further pretty quickly.

now MPlayer has support for the navigation in DVD menu, you should compile it with the option "--enable-dvdnav" here you can see screenshot http://www.linux.org.ru/gallery/biglIDbEY.jpg

So it wont support navigation when installing from livna.org?

I haven't tested it in ages, but it does have a dependency on libdvdnav so maybe it supports that nowadays. If not -> bugzilla.livna.org

BTW, dvdnav's subject now discussed in MPlayer list http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-September/068888.html

There were no mention about NPTL. Also there were no mention about a stuttering audio (or similar to my problem). Or any other hint that could help.

Sure there is. Copy-pasting from it:
* If VDR becomes unresponsive when using the MP3 or Muggle plugins, or there are stuttering/stickiness problems with the DVD plugin, and you're using a NPTL system, try disabling NPTL if possible (eg. export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 before starting VDR). NPTL cannot be disabled on all systems, and anyway it would be very nice if someone found what the problem is, and would submit a patch.

So NPTL seems to be the problem here. I decided to update my mplayer. Now the bahaviour changed so that the dvd starts but the screen stays black. This is what the log shows

Seems like dxr3 is not supported.
The funny thing is that with a different DVD the cmdline starts playing the dvd but nothing is displayed even though the same error is shown.

If you built it yourself, try "yum install em8300-devel" and then configure and build it again, look for this in ./configure output: "Checking for DXR3/H+ ... yes"

Why don't you use dxr3player for DVD-Playback?
