I'm fine using the Internal player but is it offering the same playback quality as Mplayer? At least this one in 0.23 version? I run Mplayer with "-vo gl" to utilize OpenGL and I doubt the Internal player is able to support that (known OpenGL support for ATI HD cards) since I can't even switch from Qt to OpenGL painter in the UI (tried all themes available it just doesn't work). <div>

<p>I get ya. So why is it not working for me? I agree its a useful feature but I get the message from Mplayer, which is my primary choice of player, that cant open the stream. Do i need to set up anything else for this to work? Maybe need to switch to Internal player?</p>
