 I'm not sure what's wrong here. This is my third install of Mythbuntu
 9.04, but the first install was the only one that would allow use of Apple
 Movie Trailers. I used the same machine all three times. I have w32codecs,
 libdvdcss2, and ffmpeg enabled through Mythbuntu Control Centre and I have
 xubuntu-restricted-extras installed. It's very frustrating, because I was
 able to view these trailers through MythTV on the first install right out
 of the box (it seemed).

 Here is the output:

 I found that this avisynth.dll does not need to exist on my machine, it is
 apparently a default error message. I also found a fix for Mplayer
 (nothing to do with mythtv). You have to add -playlist to Mplayer like so:

 mplayer -playlist
 http://movies.apple.com/movies/magnolia_pictures/theburningplain/theburningplain_480p.mov

 However, that doesn't even work for me either. Mplayer just tries to
 connect to dozens of different apple movie trailer IP addresses and
 eventually fails.
