Uhm, that doesn't sound well to me - I use the native LCD resolution for
all video output (to keep the upscaling in Myth) so I never tried
separating video modes for gui & playback.

let's add some parameter passing to the 'Internal' player and it'll be
even better ;-) (feature request without a patch)

You asked the right question. If people report valid reasons for not
using the Internal player and the player gets improved thanks to that
then the external players will soon be replaced by the Internal one.
