Unable to play DVD from folder

I'd like to play DVD from folder. The folder contains VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders, however, when I select this folder in SMPlayer "Open/ Disc / Open disc from folder..." nothing happens.
The same folder can be played with other mediaplayers.
What can be wrong?

Curious to know ... any results from this?

Probably one needs to select the name of the movie, i.e. the parent folder (not video_ts folder).
Open->Disc->DVD from folder->Select name of movie folder

However, it is my experience that in case there is a menu like: [Play Movie] [Select Subtitles] [Select Scenes] etc. then, regretfully, I can not select an item.
So, actually the menu is there to stay: clicking on Play Movie - nothing happens.
It could be that I am overlooking something in settings, I don't know.

Whilst using a different video player, one can select 'Play Movie' and the movie will then start. AFAIK this is only the case of playing DVD.
Sorry to say, however, again, that is my experience.

I really do not want to sound negative on SMPlayer, I like it and it is my default player.

Select a different DVD title in the menu "Browse".

Thanks that worked. Trial and error, title 2 (wrong, menu), title 3 (wrong, some ad), title 4, yes.. now the movie starts.
Is this something that is going to be fixed some day?

Keep up the good work!
