There is a issue with newer versions of Qt and input methods, plus the way libVlC handles it, with prevented the usage of the DVB menu via mouse. In summary, there's no way to tell libVlC about the position where the mouse is when a click event happens on a DVB menu. Due to that, we changed the way DVB menu is handled on Kaffeine, on Kaffeine version 2.0.15: instead of mouse, you should use the keyboard: commit 273edb5120fa8ba5390c39fecb6915e5dc378308 Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Date: Thu Feb 22 09:20:06 2018 -0300 mediawidget: switch DVD navigate to keyboard With newer Qt classes and newer libVLC, it is not possible anymore to navigate a DVD menu with the mouse. The reason is that Qt libs intercept all Linux input events, not letting libVLC to receive them. The solution would be to let Kaffeine to pass mouse events directly to libVLC. Unfortunately, such API doesn't exist. There was a set of RFC patches adding support for it: http://vlc-devel.videolan.narkive.com/ah5I2Gpy/patch-libvlc-add-api-to-propagate-mouse-move-and-down-up-events But this was never accepted upstream. So, while this doesn't work, let's fall back to a different way: DVD menu navigation should be done via keyboard interaction. Basically, navigation is done via Up/Down/Left/Right keys. Once the DVB menu item is selected, pressing <ENTER> will activate the item. The libVLC provides support for a "Popup" navigate interaction, but I was unsure how this is used. So, support for it was not implemented. BUG: 373814 Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 373814 *** |
