I think it is a bit strange that when you play video files that happen to be on a dvd you do not get OSD movie info. At least it is very confusing that you have to enable an option under "DVD -> DVD Player".

For real dvd movies i could understand that movie info is not used for speed reasons.

h4. Steps to Reproduce
Create a dvd / image containing normal movie files (avi / mpg/ etc).
Play a movie on the dvd from the video library.
Open the OSD.
See that there are no icons.

Close MP and go to MP Configuration.
Go to DVD -> DVD Player and check "movieinfo for dvd's"
Close and start MP
Play a movie on the dvd from the video library.
Open the OSD.
See that the icons are there.
