 Hi

 I've configured all known video extensions in my mythtv install to play
 using the "Internal" player. This is very elegant, provides consistency in
 the UI across mythtv and add extra features like remember the last
 position etc...

 However, there are still plenty of videos that the internal player can't
 play properly.
 As such, there times where I would like to use the default external player
 (e.g. mplayer) without any fuss and very quickly.
 Typically, try playing the video, realising that it won't work I can start
 mplayer , all using my remote control.

 This is what this patch does:
 In 0.21-fixes, pressing I (Info):
 In trunk (0.22), pressing M (Menu):

 Underneath the standard entry "Watch This Video" adds a "Watch This Video
 (default player)". Which will start playing the video using the default
 player
