Followup: I can start chapters if I mount the dvd and use the file://
syntax for MRLs. However, I get audio (very choppy) and only a green
screen.
Since my card uses a bt865 chip, I can only set options for the em8300
module - and I've tried setting the dicom_control and dicom_fix options
in all 4 combinations, and still only get a green screen when using the
file:/ syntax.
When using 'xine dvd:/', I get the copyright notice, which displays
correctly.
