OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2
@Milhouse, @miappa

I've added the change to newclock3 to allow dvdplayer to be chosen (as used in Doctor-X's build). This can be useful for playing SD videos that are not currently supported (e.g. DivX3).

I have a suspicion that dvdplayer could incorrectly get chosen as the default player in some circumstances (possibly where plugins incorrectly force dvdplayer rather than default player).
Typically it works correctly. But we won't find out what goes wrong without testing.

So ideally everything will work as before. You can now press context menu on a video and "play using dvdplayer".
I'd be interested in knowing what the hardest files are that play with dvdplayer (and what your overclock is).
Whether you think picture quality/smoothness/audio sync is better/worse with dvdplayer/omxplayer (when it keeps up).
Whether dvdplayer is ever used when not requested.

dvdplayer doesn't currently support passthrough (it will play, but audio will be screetchy), so you will need to disable that for correct audio.
It may be worth testing if video keeps up with passthrough enabled, as it frees up some CPU.
Getting passthough working with paplayer/dvdplayer is something I am planning.

In my tests sd H.264 content wouldn't keep up, but sd MPEG-4 did play fine.
I'm intested in testing unsupported codecs (wmv2, DivX3, sorenson spark, msmpeg - anything that doesn't currently play with omxplayer).
