What do you want the power button to do, shutdown?

Normally freevo plays the dvd as soon as it has been inserted into the
drive.
In local_config.py you need something like:
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/dvd', 'DVD') ]
ROM_SPEED = 8
There should be a DVD Drive menu item in the "Watch a Movie" menu. DVD
menus are supported by xine (mplayer has some support but not 100%). So
you should tell freevo to play DVDs with xine.

This works with mplayer and requires a patch for xine.
