Both just about covers it, yes?

Key-value is a nice format:
LAUNCH_ON_B_BEY=/usr/local/bookmarker
But I see no reason to have the overhead of configuration. TRPlayer is a nice
simple clean program, why mess with it?
But making trplayer very "scriptable" would allow one to do more with it. Imagine
trplayer is run by some external script -- what would the script want to know?
