I'd like to be able to force the player too in the grooveshark script. Currently, as far as I know, it can only be done on a per script/plugin basis using a rule in playercorefactory.xml.

i have actually also come across the problem on non-xbox platforms with my subsonic plugin. i guess the mime type is sent wrong by the server (application/x-download) and files don't play, but if you choose 'play using' and select dvd player then it does play

i don't think its really an issue of adding code to support xbox (which i agree is bad)
afterall xbmc.player.play allows you to set the player type. would just be nice to round off xbmcplugin module to support the same level features as xbmc module
