I've installed mythbuntu 9.10 beta and have copied over some old iso's.  

Firstly I really like the new media browsing :-)  Just seems to work.

But, I can't actually plan any of these iso's.  I have installed libdvdcss in 
addition to the stock mythbuntu.

If I set the mythvideo iso association to "mplayer -fs -zoom %s" I see :-

and no video played.

If I use the Internal player I see :-

Thanks,
