Hehe how nice to hear from somebody who shares my style of talking
(have you ever read the Amiga Guru Book?). :-)

Well, all you needed to do is to hit the >| NEXT button or to
open the playlist editor, and you would know where all your
attempts went.

The real reason is turning the XINE logo screen from a motion
video into a plain still image. Unlike AV, images are meant to
play always and forever to let an average living room user zap
through his photo album.

Your patch perhaps breaks intentional playlist appending, and
it will fail as soon as someone decides to use a video logo
again.

Maybe it is a better idea to make an exception for just the
logo if a still image.

[xine-ui_open_file.diff]
open user file immediately when only logo is playing

Dont say that too loud - they might "fix" it by breaking build
on my old box...
