This is a copy of http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14095
For some reason the package maintainer does not like reopening that bug.
Bug is present in current release of the package.

Description:

Playing mplayer with dvdnav causes arrow keys to not work for skippingfunctions. Beginning mplayer with:

mplayer dvdnav://

Allocates the arrow keys to direction and appears to override skipping functions during normal playback. Playing video with

mplayer /dev/dvd

allows still the arrow keys to behave as normal. The manual lists still the arrow keys for skipping so it looks like skipping is not possible while using dvdnav.
This task depends upon

in one year mplayer had changed a lot and that's why opening that report is kinda wrong.

This doesn't sound like to be a packaging problem, is more a regression in mplayer. please report it upstream:

Sigh... can you perhaps report (and track) it instead? You know, I'm not the one who integrates this software into Arch, but you are. Thanks.

no. because i don't use dvdnav function and i cannot test it.

let me clarify, our mplayer package is using their internal libs for dvd support. is not like i need to integrate with something

Yeah, of course you don't and you can't. Let me do it instead.
