DVD Player

[Robert Dege]

I didn't enable the gui for mplayer.  I don't think a menu will display
without it.  I planned on having a 3rd party app call the program with a
CLI command call (including parameters).  But I haven't had any luck
figuring out how to show the menu & then selecting from the menu....  Unless I need
a gui to interact within the menu....  ?

Food for thought I suppose.
