You're my hero. Officially.
MythTV just keeps getting better all the time. Having MythVideo and 
MythDVD's OSDs match MythTV's would add a tremendous amount of polish to 
the project. I'm not saying that your "internal" player will only be 
good because of this, but rather that'll it will add a tremendous amount 
of sex appeal to Myth.
