Ahh, actually I should have said don't remove the plugin, you'll just get
the bog standard text only OSD.

Bug with the code, I don't use mplayer so I expect its not been tested
enough. I use xine as it seems to be a reasonable compromise between
mplayer (no subtitles) and vlc (subtitle but on my systems uses the wrong
XV port so colors are way off).
On VLC, the name of the settings for options is:
VLC_OPTIONS = ''
VLC isn't really very well integrated into freevo at the moment, I think
its only been added for watching internet TV (tv.vlc and video.vlc)
