MPV Configuration

Since dvd_player uses libmpv as its backend, it can also use its configuration syntax for playback. See mpv's documentation here for more details.

Your configuration file is read from ~/.config/dvd_player/mpv.conf

Here's an example that would always play back in fullscreen, and save screenshots to PNG format:

fullscreen
screenshot-format=png

Source

The DVD source can be an optical disc in a drive, a device name, an image of the disc (ISO), or a directory. With no argument, it will use the operating system's default DVD device.

dvd_player
dvd_player /dev/sr0
dvd_player dvd_video.iso
dvd_player ~/Videos/DVD/
