By the way, I see that the plugin mentioned was MythVideo and not 
MythDVD.  I guess I should have read the whole post =P  All I need help 
with now is knowing how to configure MythVideo for use with Xine, and my 
second question is now reversed: is it possible to configure MythDVD for 
use with Xine as well?  Sorry about that everyone.
