mythbox does not use the default player in Advancedsettings.xml

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Change your default play in advancedsettings.xml
2.Play a recording
3.System will use the original default player

I am running on windows XP with the Feb 2nd, 2010 distribution of XBMC
located at http://passion-xbmc.org/gros_fichiers/xbmcdsplayer/index.php

This distribution has a player called "DSplayer" that takes advantage of
the nvidia ION GPU on my platform (Acer Revo R1600, single core Atom). I
have set "c:\Documents and Settings\aronson\Application
Data\XBMC\Advancedsettings.xml" to point as follows:

<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>dsplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
</advancedsettings>

When I play back media files from Samba shares the default player is
clearly "dsplayer" and I benefit from the hardware acceleration. When I
play back myth recordings from "mythbox" it appears that "dsplayer" is not
being used. This prevents me from using mythbox, as my platform depends on
the Nvidia ION GPU hardware acceleration to playback hidef recordings.

Thank you for your help!

Pilot error -- the file should have been placed in:
"c:\Documents and Settings\aronson\Application
Data\XBMC\userdata\Advancedsettings.xml" It works now.
