I fixed some bugs and improved several things today, but I found some annoying things considering the difference between MP 0.2.1 and the SVN snapshot. It is no problem to have backwards compatibility on the IPTV plugin, but the videolan plugin is a different case. The big problem is that settings are read in a different way in the SVN snapshot. So, when you update the ExternalPlayers dll in version 0.2.1, all External Players, like iTunes, Foobar and the Videolan plugin will not be able to read and write configuration data, thus causing the plugins to fail. There are two solutions to this; one is that you all upgrade to the SVN snapshot, and the other is that I change all external players to read and write config data as MP 0.2.1 does...I'll fix two different ExternalPlayer.dll's anyway tomorrow
