Gotcha.... I thought it was a pygame error appearing when xmame or something was being started... I now see its appearing when starting Freevo itself :-)
I did initially have some trouble getting dxr/sdl working, I had to get a version of ffmpeg that was a slightly different version for the patches to apply cleanly. Still cant get it to work as an SDL display device (neither the dxr3 or SDL lists could help) for anything other than freevo or mplayer though; though it works great for both of those.... I think the error is something like 'unsupported vid_depth8 in vid_depth16' or something like that... its been a while since I looked. Just a thought about something that got me the first few times round... is the right libSDL being loaded, rather than any included one.. (runtime provided?) I copied the dxr3 version over the top of the freevo provided one for simplicity.
