Are there any plans to include the DVD controls in the skins2 interface? ie. previous chapter, next chapter, menu, etc. At the moment skins2 only has previous/next playlist item rather than chapter.

Of course, i can create a playlist for each DVD with seperate entries for the DVD chapters, but this means you can't just load any DVD - it would need it's own specific playlist.

I've tried to guess various controls such as dvd.next(), dvd.nextchapter(), dvd.nextchap() but none of them work so i don't think it's been included and just not documented.

The actions for DVD controls have not been implemented yet, mainly because noone requested them. I will add them soon.

thanks ipkiss. this is for the same device that that i mentioned here. DVD playback hasn't been requested yet, but we're anticipating it will be at some point.

I have just added some actions for DVD navigation:

* skins2/commands/cmd_dvd.*: New commands for DVD navigation.
You can use the following actions in the XML file:
- dvd.nextTitle()
- dvd.previousTitle()
- dvd.nextChapter()
- dvd.previousChapter()
- dvd.rootMenu()

This will be available in the next nightly build.

WOW! that was quick!

thanks ipkiss!
