However you can circumvent this by using the Internal player to play most video formats. It's not default, but it works great for me for most formats. Here's how to do it: Open up the file types config within MythTV (for me it is at "Utilities/Setup > Setup > Media Settings > Videos Settings > File Types") Change the "Extension" so that it has the video extension you want to play selected (e.g. "avi"). Change the command to "Internal" (capital I, no quotes) DISABLE "Use default player" and disable "Ignore" Done. Now your videos should play through MythTV's internal player. You may find that not all video formats will do this, but the Internal player supports more formats all the time. The latter.

It works when watching DVDs, but not when I'm watching a video. Have I done some thing wrong, or is because MPW doesn't communicate with mplayer? Should MythPyWii work in MythVideo?
