I practically forgot this topic :)

I just accepted the fact that it does not work, because there was
nobody with enough skills or interest to answer my question.  MPlayer
is OK, but I like DVD menus. I have some DVDs produced by friend of
mine with a lot of different materials on the DVD, and I like to be
able to use menus.

I am not using this feature for watching drives for DVDs/CDs. I now
instert DVD and press PlayDVD on my remote ... it is working this
way... I adapted myself instead of adapting software :)
