Post subject:  xine or mplayer for live tv

From what I have read, myth uses it's internal player for live tv and playback of recordings. Is there any way to set it to use xine or mplayer?

If not, what do I have to do to move a tv recording to the videos directory and use mplayer to play it back? Can I just move it? I'll just try and get back to you.

What do you think that they buy you over the builtin viewer?

As for making the files visible in the videos directory, you can just symlink it with a script like /usr/local/bin/mythlink.sh which creates the /myth/pretty directory. All it would take is making a copy of that, and changing all occurances of "pretty" to "video" and making it smarter about not deleting real files.

I did not want to say untill I had a chance to test it.

I recorded some of the video that I've been having trouble with. Playing the video through xine or mplayer both look better than through myths internal player.

Don't ask how I came accross this. It has to do with an M$ product and a commercial DVD player.
