Folks, Internal does allow bookmarking outside of TV, but It's an unfulfilling player for movies. For one thing, the Internal player won't work correctly for odd sizes, which movies often are. It'll stretch the image to fill the screen. Also, since it doesn't allow options in the 'command line' like you can set up for external players, it means that I would have to have the same settings for watch TV as I do for watching through MythVideo, so even if it would display things how I would like, I would have to mess with the display every time I or (more importantly) the wife wanted to watch a movie. Lastly, it doesn't scale the image as well and just doesn't look as nice as Xine, which is what I usually use. So, on the whole the problems with Internal for use in MythWeb outweigh this particular benefit. Unless I'm mistaken about how flexible Internal is, which is certainly possible. :)
