I have not seen this problem with my DVDs yet, sorry.
(Oh - just an idea - does resetting the dxr3-hardware helps?)

This is because of the DeviceStillPicture usage.  Please apply the
following workaround to the vdr-dvd sources, it made most menus of my
DVDs work together with the DXR3.

But it is just a workaround - I am still waiting for Klaus to clarify
the way of how to use the StillPicture function.  (Wrote private mail.)

BTW:  Some menues still will not work, but that is because of a
libdvdnav/vdr-dvd problem.  vdr-dvd sometimes just does not go into
"Menu-Mode", a simple workaround for now is Sven's "Force Menu" mode
found in RC4.  (Allthough in one menu I had to press "up" about 70 times
just to get the highlight visible...)

Yes, I have noticed that yesterday, until now I have no idea why that
is.  But subtitles are pretty low on my wishlist, so I will probably not
look into it too soon.

Pong.  I need more info about how plugins should use DeviceStillPicture
and how the devices should implement them.  It is just not clear to me,
if this is a bug in vdr-dvd or in vdr-dxr3.
