Bingo - Storage Groups aren't supported by external players.

Note that I didn't say "Storage Groups don't support external players" -
MythTV passes a perfectly valid URI for the video, but it's up to the
player to know what to do with it. AFAIK, none do.

If you want to use external players, you'll have to use the old
local-mount-based video setup, and be aware that external player support is
likely to be entirely removed for 0.26 (as last I heard, anyway)
