yes... sadly our dvdplayer will never handle -all- discs
why is that now ? because all discs are different, and there are no open standards. microsoft dvdplayer + all other hacked dvdplayers on xbox which uses "microsoft dvdplayer source" all work with most , if not all discs, because they use a licensced "dvd engine".
we use open source code, and the dvd discs we own/have at our disposal, which is maybe 0.01% of the made ones...

is there anyway to make xbmc skip the dvd intros, like miramax, 20th century fox etc automatically? and on some dvds the trailers. like in vlc player by default.

i've had similar problems with certain dvds not playing at all or that load the menu and then crash when the main video starts. the weird thing is that these dvds are from the same boxed sets of tv shows that other dvds will work. meaning, discs 1 and 3-7 play fine, but disc 2 doesn't. i thought that was a bit odd, so i thought i'd point it out, though i understand that it's just kinda the nature of the beast, so-to-speak.

When watching a DVD (vob or through dvd-drive) is there a way to skip through chapters, or see which chapter your on? I couldn't find anything in the manual about this.

no, not yet, (at least not without going through the DVD-menu of your DVD-Video disk it it has one, if it doesn't have a menu then nothing you can do now)

I'd like to see the DVD Player being capable of displaying the same info as Mplayer... eg. audio bitrate etc. Is this possible?

Hi,
Maybe it was already mentioned somewhere...but...
When play button is pressed (or play fron context menu) on DVD folder (ussualy VIDEO_TS) then VIDEO_TS.IFO from folder should be played instead first VOB in folder.
What do you think? I think it can be easily implemented and it will improve XBMC's usage little bit forward again ;-)

Hey! I think that this is one of the long terms goals, but I was just curious if I could get an update on this. Has there been any progress on enabling framerate adjustment with the DVD player? I recently got my hands on a bunch of PAL DVDs and would love to be able to watch them at the proper framerate. The pitched voices drive me crazy!
For my uses, XBMC is pretty much feature complete except for this. You guys have done amazing work on XBMC and we all appreciate it (even if we don't tell you as often as we should)!
Thanks!
