[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 794712, member: 11220"] Can't see this happening in MP1 as music and video are just so different. To play videos you just launch a player and pass a video (then you have to setup your remote to control playback) In music you constantly need to communicate with the database and other things inside MP. Take playlists. Say you load a playlist then yes you could launch this but MP needs to know what is playing next (so player needs to communicate back to MP) the say you remove a track in the middle of the playlist then the player needs to be made aware of this. You simply don't have this two way interaction between external players and videos. Also think about pureaudio. This just works in the background as an external player but you do not link to an executable file etc. That said it might be possible to restructure things a little but you will still be limited to iTunes and winamp unless someone writes a new plugin.
