So little information and incomplete tutorials

It was done recently for TVTune with changes in the skin Night I believe, and some time ago for XBMC subtitle before it was integrated to confluence.
Look at this thread, you should find some valuable information showing how to modify the skin: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=56083

Example of what was done in a skin for TVTUne:

add to custom_SkinSetting:

PHP Code:

<control type="radiobutton" id="1051">
                        <width>750</width>
                        <height>40</height>
                        <font>font13</font>
                        <label>31553</label>
                        <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
                        <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
                        <texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>
                        <texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>
                        <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(TVTunes)</onclick>
                        <selected>Skin.HasSetting(TVTunes)</selected>
                    </control> 

And to MyvideoNav in order to activate or not the use of TVTUNE

PHP Code:

<control type="button" id="9999">
            <description>trigger</description>
            <onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.TvTunes,backend=True&amploop=False)</onfocus>
            <onfocus>SetFocus(50)</onfocus>
            <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
            <texturefocus>-</texturefocus>
        <visible>Skin.HasSetting(TVTunes)</visible>
        </control>

Ok I read the skin forum and I saw in several threads, including this
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=655702&postcount=2

That this is impossible through skinning. I read that the only way to do it is to modify the source files and compile yourself.

So I guess I will go the external player route which is the simplest and cleanest way to do it as I see.
