/* Using VLC Player for playback */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
The reason is due to the way MythTV uses STORAGE GROUPS for your video files (those not recorded using MythTV).  If you have MythTV configured to access a path containing video files (such as a LAN path or NFS path, or even local) the MythTV Frontend sees this in a Storage Group.  SG = Storage Group.  MythTV will not allow Storage Group content to be played with an external player such as VLC.  (Yeah this is a sucky deal and a strike against MythTV.)For example, /var/lib/mythtv/videos is seen by MythTV and sent to the external player as myth://Videos@localhost, which is a storage group path.
