When I open directories in vlc I get this warning on stdout all the
time. libdvdnav is a library, it should pass errors back to the
application using return values, not dump crap to stdout.

libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 4.1.2 from http://dvd.sf.net
libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device.
libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/pabs/.dvdnav/.map'
libdvdnav: vm: failed to read VIDEO_TS.IFO

I've checked for this and it is still happening (but at first I didn't
understand what the bug meant).

To reproduce, don't use Media --> Open Directory... to open a DVD Rip
directory (ad I understood at first), but the playlist mode (View ->
Playlist if it is not already visible) and click on e.g. My Music
or any other non-DVD directory on the left bar.

This also applies to libdvdread, which gives a similar error:

    libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 5.0.1
    libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
    libdvdread:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed
    libdvdread:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed
    libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
    libdvdnav: vm: failed to read VIDEO_TS.IFO

It's bern tested that this bug doesn't afflict libdvdnav anymore in
versions actually in testing, unstable and experimental.

So, closing.

Cheers.

The testing done and source code search was inadequate, the issue is
still definitely still present in the latest code:

Hi!
Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

Yes, it's known. The bug report has been reopened, indeed.
I'll keep in touch with upstream to fix this asap.

Cheers.
