CONFIGURATION

dvd_player uses libmpv as its backend. A configuration file can be created in ~/.config/dvd_player/mpv.conf to set and override defaults. See the mpv documentation for switches and options that can be used.

Settings in mpv.conf will override options passed to dvd_player.

As an example, always select Spanish as default audio language, English as subtitle language, and play in fullscreen:

    alang=es
    slang=en
    fullscreen
