DVD player

The DVD player is a deck you plug into a television, exactly like a console. It plays your own disc images, with the disc’s real menus, chapters, audio tracks and subtitles — driven by libVLC and its libdvdnav / libdvdread plugins.

Getting a disc in

Put your image into the dvd/ folder:

Windows — %USERPROFILE%\retroxr\dvd
Linux / macOS — ~/retroxr/dvd
Quest — /sdcard/Android/data/com.xenu.retroxr/files/dvd

Two things are recognized: a folder containing a VIDEO_TS/ directory, or a standalone .iso or .img file.

Playing one

Open the menu, go to SPAWN → DVDs, and click a title. A disc spawns carrying that image — the same way a cartridge carries a ROM.
From the Objects tab, spawn a DVD Player and a TV.
Run the player’s A/V lead into the TV, the same cable the consoles use. See plugging things in.
Put the disc into the player’s slot.
Press PLAY.

Inserting a disc never starts playback on its own — you press play, like you would have.

The DVD player stand-in: a black deck with a disc slot and on-unit buttons — play, pause, stop, language, subtitles, menu, rewind and fast-forward, chapter skip, eject, and a direction cluster for disc menus.

The buttons on the deck

Button	Does
`PLAY` `PAUSE` `STOP`	Transport
`EJECT`	Takes the disc back out
`<<` `>>`	Rewind and fast-forward scan
`\|<<` `>>\|`	Previous and next chapter
`MENU`	Back to the disc’s root menu
`UP` `DOWN` `LEFT` `RIGHT` `SEL`	Navigate the disc’s own menus
`LANG` `SUB`	Cycle audio and subtitle tracks

Point at the player and press the menu button to open a floating panel that picks audio and subtitle tracks by name, rather than cycling blindly through them.

From across the room

You do not have to walk over to the deck. Spawn a TV Remote from the Objects tab, point it at the player, and the same controls appear above it — including the disc-menu cluster. See the TV remote.

Sound and picture

The video renders onto whichever TV the player is plugged into. The television’s own volume and power controls drive the player’s audio and screen, just as they do for a console — so if you have picture and no sound, check the set’s volume before the deck’s.
