I know, that somebody hate plugins there in main menu, but why could not be this plugins optionaly displayed there in main menu ? Let user choose, what he want.
Main menu have 5 item only and for all must users to submenues. All who have children know, that is better prepare DVD into drive and child can easy select playback with DVDPlayer from main menu, than leave child operate in Movieplayer (Video), where it can easy remove anything. Similar it is with MediaPlayer and playlist.

Hi,

won't work for DVDPlayer as

+ if config.plugins.showinmenu_dvdplayer.value:
+ list.append(PluginDescriptor(name = "DVDPlayer", description = "Play DVDs", where = PluginDescriptor.WHERE_MENU, needsRestart = False, fnc = menu))

Function menu does not exist in plugin.py anymore. Also adding DVDPlayer to MainMenu won't add any new functionality because obsolete DVD FileBrowser has been removed during DVDPlayer Screen move...

Yes, but child can easy playback DVD from DVD driver. Must not open/close or must not use MoviePlayer (Video). In addition, overlay screen for menu and subtitles works from it well, from MoviePlayer does not...

I think it's not only important for children. I've noticed that people who are not dealing frequently with Enigma STBs have difficulites in using it. I think multimedia features should be available in main menu - playing movies, recordings, music, CD, DVD, pictures, browsing files etc. Direct access to movie player would solve a lot of those questions. I know that there is "video" key but it's not too intuitive.
Let's take into account that many devices have such menu architecture nowadays.
Obviously it could be configurable by user in settings.

Now is DVDPlayer set: if is DVD there in driver, then is DVDPlayer in menu.
It is not so much happy solution imho , when somebody using "shortcuts" as me (f.eg. Menu-5-..., Menu-3 etc), because then are this shortcuts changing :-(

Sorry for being a newbie. But how do I install this patch on my DM8000? I am missing the Media Player option on the main menu.

with:
git clone git://openpli.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openpli/enigma2
you get sources, then you can use: gitt apply wanted_patch
then replace files in box with modified files and restart gui.

Im also newbie, and im trying to install this, but no luck till now. If i instal it with dream explorer nothing is happening...
When i telnet: git clone git://openpli.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openpli/enigma2
I get:Git not found

Anybody knows what to do?

this is patch for source files, when you have they on your linux pc (you get is with git clone ... ).

Thankyou ims,

Is there a way to do this without a linux pc?

Try it, but i never worked with it ... http://code.google.c...&q=official Git

You can add it manualy to files listed there in patch too. But in UltraEdit (or some editor, which can read and save unix/linux format / without 0x0D 0x0A / ).

Thank you very much for helping , but its too difficult for me.

Maybe if I have some more time I'll go trying again.

do you want to have in menu permanently DVDPlayer only or MediaPlayer too ?

I prefer both, but Mediaplayer is most important...
