Just tried the Internal player out of curiosity, and it acted a bit 
flakey... The video playback stuttered and audio was distorted...

I guess I'll keep using xine for now and wait until it's matured a bit 
and the configuration options are in the GUI...  ;-)

Getting it to work was easy tho, so that's promising... I hope it'll do 
.ISO's too when it's done.

Coincidentally fixed an issue I has with xine... I had issues opening 
DVD's with xine using libdvdcss... Changing to "Internal" in the 
settings forced me to look at the command in there, and after testing, I 
noticed that the DVD:// part in the xine command was in capitals, where 
vcd:// was lowercase... Using lowercase dvd:// fixed the DVD playback 
issue...

So I'm a happy camper again!

Now I have to fix the lircd issues I have left, get me a 90 degree riser 
for the PVR-250 and screw all remaining parts in the case I modified... 
(Which'll prolly mean some more metal work before I'm done)

(Some future enhancements I'm already planning include an LCD display 
and  an external control panel option so I can control the thing even 
when the multimedia cabinet is shut...)

First things first tho: Get the lircd issues resolved and see how it 
performs when the case is fully closed!  ;-)
