Watching Live TV/Recordings uses Myth's internal player.

Watching videos through MythVideo uses an external player (by default 
MPlayer, but you can change it to use xine or whatever).  Note that you 
can specify the player "Internal" to use Myth's internal player for 
MythVideo.

So, basically, it means your Myth is configured wrong, but your external 
video player (probably MPlayer) is configured right.
