MythVideo won't use anything but internal player

I have changed the player command to what it says here:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/VLC

Namely

Vlc file://%s vlc:quit

But when I select a movie to watch in Mythvideo, it still uses the internal
player (Which can't play DVD isos without stuttering. Mplayer can handle
them fine, but I'd like vlc).

Did you also uncheck the "Use Default Player" box for the file types
you are trying to play?

Negative. I hadn't delved too much into that screen. I just went to
"Player settings" and changed the box that said "Internal" to vlc blah blah.
I thought that was all I had to do.

I just went to the file types menu and it was all there. I changed the
command for iso file types, the checkbox for default player was unchecked
already. It now loads vlc correctly.

Thanks for pointing that out. Though it seems like it's a little
counterintuitive and could be implemented to be more user friendly. I
really do like the idea of having a different player for different file
types though. Though it seems like that should all be placed under "Player
Settings"... Oh well now I know.

Thanks

Brian
