Correct. It is and always has been proof-of-concept not ready for  
release as a real feature yet since it doesn't work in all situations  
and the final feature will not work anything like the current proof of  
concept works.

Yes, go into the Settings>MythWeb>Video Playback and turn it on there.
It's off by default so people don't expect it to work out of the box.  
They have to look for it and know that it's not the final  
implementation if they want to use it.
