Subject: external player patch
Below is a patch that adds an "open with external player" link to the menu. It works by feeding the player of your choice the command to open the video over a windows/samba share.
This is very useful, when the mythtv player doesn't support a codec like aac-HE for nz hd tv or you want to open it in a player that supports mutithreading or video acceration for hd content.

It is more complicated to configure than i would like but first...
1. It must be installed in "C:\Program Files\mythtv player" or "D:\Program Files\mythtv player" as i couldn't figure out how to get app.path to work in c++
2. Set up samba/windows file sharing for your mythtv recordings direcotory in linux
3.open "config.xml" in mythtv player root directory and change <WindowsShare>//Mythtv/recordings</WindowsShare> to the appropiate location.
3.open external1.bat & external2.bat in the mythtv player root directory and give the players the appropiate location.
4.try it and hope it works! (open a video and while its playing right click on open with external player)
For developers:
I havent submited this to svn as im currently using revision 206.
I also don't know c++ and ive only spent a few hours learing it, i just know the concept of a program language from other languages ive lean't. So this is why in the code some things have been done in a funny way.
If any ones's interested fell free to check this works with the lastest revision and fix up the code to a more logical way, (like app.path) and commit it to svn.
