Mythnews Multimedia changes

I'm running svn version 11795 of the mythnews plugin.

It has support for YouTube and Google Video.

This works, however, the internal player is giving me grief with sound,
sometimes only a black screen, nothing
happens etc.

is it possible to use mplayer instead of the internal player?
I could not find something in the config section in the frontend.

regards

Koen

I forgot to update the README but some video will require that you pass
"--enable-faad" on the command-line to enable the AAC audio support in
ffmpeg and recompile mythtv. I'm not sure if any of the downstream
packages do this by default or not.

Right now I've chosen not to configure an external player only because
(like the Internal DVD player) I'd like to see any issues get worked out
internally rather than relying on the crutch of an external player.

i couldn't agree with you more on less is more pov but i have an 350 tvout
and i suspected this had anything to do with the problem of no video etc.

i changed the video aspect setting in the frontend from do not rescale (?)
to 4:3
and then most of the videos played albeit without sound.
i'm recompiling now and check tonight if i have sound.

Thank you very much for the great work on the mythnews plugin!
regards
Koen
