  * [[dvd_info]] - main package

This is a tiny DVD player that uses libmpv (mpv package) as its backend for media playback. A man page is included with the ''dvd_info'' package, see ''man dvd_player'' for details. Here is the help output:

dvd_player reads a configuration file from ~/.config/dvd_player/mpv.conf
See mpv man page for syntax and dvd_player man page for examples.

==== Custom Configuration ====

One of mpv's strong points is that it can have configuration saved in your config directory. This program supports that as well.

Here's an example ''mpv.conf':

<code>
# dvd_player libmpv config
alang=en
slang=en
fullscreen

screenshot-format=png
screenshot-template="%f-mpv-%ws.%wT"

osd-level=2
</code>

==== Track Selection ====

One thing that may be confusing is that ''mpv'' and ''dvd_player'' do not have the same track ordering number. MPV zero-indexes the tracks (the first track is number 0), while all the dvd_info tools one-index them (the first track is number 1).

This can be confusing in the user output because ''dvd_player'' will accept the one-indexed track number, but libmpv will output a different track number.
