Title: Theater View DVD menu navigation and one more question
Post by: maxxsid on May 09, 2007, 10:05:03 pm

Moved this from beta forum..:

While I am in Theater View (Playing Now) and put a DVD in, I get "DVD Menu" button on the left control bar. What's it supposed to do? I thought it would give me DVD playback/navigation controls but instead it opened the DVD's root menu which I found no way to navigate. Arrow key/buttons  would just jump between the control bar and the title in the PN list.
What is the supposed logic there?
(When I switch to Big Screen, then arrows do work for menu navigation)

Another question - all the controls in the control bar do work in PN View but how do I control (with keyboard) in the Big Screen View? It would make sense to have the same type of Control Bar (which would autohide/unhide perhaps) in Big Screen.
Thanks!

It seeks to the DVD menu.

Jump to "Big Screen" to navigate around the DVD with the cursor keys / remote.

That's why I asked - what is the logic behind all this?
All play/navigation on-screen controls are in Playing Now View but there's nothing to navigate the DVD menu. The Big Screen OTOH doesn't have any on-screen controls.. Why there aren't any? Some may say - the controls would clutter the Big Screen. True. But they do clutter the Playing Now too.
I realize that Theater View is under construction.. Something is still missing there..
