I have Mobo and BS installed on my Nexus.  I never actually get anywhere that lets me specify a player (I am expecting to see the typical "how do you want to play this always \ just once" dialog that an app would typically generate.  I don't see anywhere in the settings that allows a default player to be specified either.
