remote control actions fail sporadically in menus

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Hi all,

I'm having big troubles with my theoretically beautiful animated
transitions between menus:  the remote control buttons don't work most
of the time when I think they should be working, and I can't figure out
what is going wrong.

I tried with dvdauthor-0.11-5 on Debian Etch, and also with
dvdauthor-0.14 from source, but both have similar results: an
impossibility to use the DVD either in Ogle software player or in both
my (non-top brand) hardware players.

Here's the dvdauthor file:

https://devel.goto10.org/svn/maximus/2008/video-works-dvd/dvdauthor.xml

Menus 2-15 use this spumux file:

https://devel.goto10.org/svn/maximus/2008/video-works-dvd/menu-spumux.xml

And the other menus use this spumux file:

https://devel.goto10.org/svn/maximus/2008/video-works-dvd/empty-spumux.xml

The SVN revision at time of writing is 589, but it's unlikely to change
for the next day or two - the 10mins per iteration means I've given up
for now.

I'd be grateful if someone more experienced than me could take a look
and maybe spot what I'm doing wrong, the commented out portions either
didn't help or made things worse (changing sporadic menu navigation into
more complete unresponsiveness).

If there is any more information I can provide to help you help me, I'll
be very willing to provide it.  Thanks for your attention,


Claude

Hi again,

Seems I fixed my problem already, answering for the archives in case
someone else runs into something similar.

In short:  spumux doesn't like if there are no images.

Replacing this old version:

<subpictures>
   <stream>
     <spu start="00:00:00.00" force="yes">
       <button name="ButtonEnter" x0="180" y0="264" x1="540" y1="312"
down="ActionDown" up="ActionUp" />
       <action name="ActionDown" />
       <action name="ActionUp" />
     </spu>
   </stream>
</subpictures>

with this new version:

<subpictures>
   <stream>
     <spu start="00:00:00.00" force="yes" image="transparent.png"
select="transparent.png" highlight="transparent.png">
       <button name="ButtonEnter" x0="180" y0="264" x1="540" y1="312"
down="ActionDown" up="ActionUp" left="ButtonEnter" right="ButtonEnter" />
       <action name="ActionDown" />
       <action name="ActionUp" />
     </spu>
   </stream>
</subpictures>

and respumuxing those menus seems to fix the issue.  "transparent.png"
is a 720x576 totally transparent image.

Replace old version:

<subpictures>
   <stream>
    <spu start="00:00:00.00" force="yes">
    </spu>
   </stream>
</subpictures>

With new version:

<subpictures>
   <stream>
    <spu start="00:00:00.00" force="yes" image="transparent.png"
select="transparent.png" highlight="transparent.png">
    </spu>
   </stream>
</subpictures>
