I would certainly not say that mythfrontend is good enough that the<br>
external player capability can be removed. Unless 0.28 has fixed the<br>
WMV problem and it has just not been backported to 0.27.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I agree. I have a few ISOs that won't play correctly, and one where the menu intro plays fine, but once it gets to the actual main menu it blasts digital noise at full volume. These were kids' DVDs and I haven't bothered to spend much time troubleshooting it. I also haven't spent much time trying to get xine or VLC working on this system either; we just don't watch those ISOs any more. I have also experienced the "seeking reverts to the beginning of the file" issue on some other files. Suffice to say, MythFrontend's video playing is still quite lacking, but it's just another victim of the quest to turn MythTV into a self-sufficient operating system with no dependence on any external programs or libraries which are hard to support.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Karl<br></div></div>
