In june Daniel Saez and me where checking the state and problems of the 
dvd-plugin, most navigation issues where related to libdvdnav and were not 
fault of the plugin. We fixed many of them, but as there where some other 
related to still pictures we didn't issue a patch.

The problem of still pictures was fault of both the dvb driver and the plugin 
code. We fixed the problem at the dvd plugin code but no one was interested 
on the patch (search Daniel's mails to the list "dsaez@iti.upv.es").
The problem at the driver must be a firmware one as we have checked the still 
picture routines and them seem OK. When you make use of this routines you can 
feed the first still picture but trying to show a secong one has 
unpredictable results.
