It is set to what I just set it to. This is what I meant when I said it seems 
to keep the setting, but just ignores it.

I hadn't considered this, but I just checked. No, it's really returning to the 
list, I can see the player stop when the video is done, and it is not 
relaunched.

Sure. I can play all the files just fine, it's just that setting that field to 
play another file after this one doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

No problem. Believe me, I know how you feel. I'll provide any info you ask for 
as my schedule permits. :)

I'm using 0.12 from source, upgraded from 0.11 on a box with dual PVR250. It's 
running RH9 with a 2.4.22 kernel from kernel.org and using blackbox for the 
WM. It has mythdvd, mythgallery, mythgame, mythmusic, mythnews, mythweather 
all running in addition to mythvideo. It's been remarkably stable for the 
past month.

Actually, I was thinking that when I get time to look at the code I might 
change mine to _always_ play the next file in the list as default behavior, 
since that's usually what I want to do. (I'm used to mplayer's playlist 
default behavior, and that's what it does.) It's more convenient for me to 
escape out of the next video if I don't want to play it than it is to set an 
option individually for hundreds of files. We all do things differently! :)
