Um, the same way I select a recording in "Watch Recordings" and it starts 
playing? The same way I click on a video and it starts playing?

*This* is the way the rest of mythtv works. The UI for the whole system ought to 
be internally consistent, right? Same buttons do the same things?

I notice that there are 'playlists' available when watching recordings. Possibly 
in video, never noticed. I have only ever used them when bulk deleting files.
