If he means VCD's, sure, but then what would be the point since playing them (and much more) can be done via the mplayer plugin? Is this plugin meant to be an alternative to that or something?

That is a dedicated (S)VCD plugin like dvd for DVDs . And it exists since ages allready, a lot longer then the mplayer plugin solution popped up. Only because it does something which another plugin can also do, it doesn't become pointless

Thanks for answering my question. Also, please pay attention to what is actually being said in previous posts as I didn't call his plugin pointless.

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.
Cheers, Juri
