From 62294049852549e99ec948e0df16452856afa0c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2019 15:29:27 +0200 Subject: Remove libdvdread support in favor of libdvdnav stream_dvd.c contained large amounts of ancient, unmaintained code, which has been historically moved to libdvdnav. Basically, it's full of low level parsing of DVD on-disc structures. Kill it for good. Users can use the remaining dvdnav support (which basically operates in non-menu mode). Users have reported that libdvdread sometimes works better, but this is just libdvdnav's problem and not ours. --- DOCS/man/mpv.rst | 17 ----------------- 1 file changed, 17 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/mpv.rst b/DOCS/man/mpv.rst index bcf36b5be1..0fe7dc78b5 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/mpv.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/mpv.rst @@ -510,23 +510,6 @@ specifying the path to the local copy: ``--dvd-device=PATH``.
