That's no longer a setting, either. It was also removed as there didn't
seem to be any reason not to always make the bookmarked place the
preferred location for the preview. Again, upcoming changes to bookmark
handling will make this approach even more sensible/usable. So, if you
set a bookmark, MythTV will always use that bookmark to create the
default preview.
