regular mediaplayer as in mplayer?? or as in external msdash/ava..?

external can be used by just setting dvdplayer tag in xboxmediacenter.xml..

mplayer can't be specifed at the moment.

may i ask why? atleast asfar as i can tell the new dvdplayer is far better then mplayer for playback.

(at least my) dvd player has the annoying bug that i can't fast forward or rewind. it just keeps playing.
and it freezes when i reenter the menu (e.g. to change the language). so to me it is still too much alpha to use it as a default player.
