[mythtv-users] MythVideo CVS, mplayer, and MythTivo

[Ian Forde]

Yesterday I upgraded to the mythtv CVS (and mythvideo and every thing
else...) to get the new mythvideo look.  I like it so far.  A couple of
downsides though...

With the new gui-based way of configuring mythvideo, I've noticed that
mythvideo-settings.txt isn't used any more.  This therefore eliminates
the ability to specify different parameters for different video types
such as:
1. DVD playing.  Since I've got an entry coming off the main menu which
I like better, I'm not concerned here.
2. MythTivo.  I'd need to invoke mplayer with some streaming options,
which I won't be able to to.  (Never mind the fact that I can't even get
it to compile right now...)

I like the gui method, but I'm wondering if we'll be able (ultimately)
to specify per-file-type invocations of players?
