Great news about getting freevo to run on a PS3. I will put the
configuration files into the next release of freevo 1 series, tomorrow
is the planned release date.

mmpython is available from the sourceforge freevo download pages. You
don't have to use yum, as it is very easily installed. Just:
python setup.py install

This could be a problem with the DVD drive/MPlayer. Try setting DEBUG=1
and CHILD_DEBUG=1, look in the log for the mplayer command line and see
if mplayer runs from the command line.
I read somewhere in the vlc pages that never DVD drivers do not allow
raw read access until the region code has been set.

There is a plug-in from Valère JEANTET RAMOS for vlc and freeboxtv, now
added to svn. They have not been tested so I don't know if they work.

May be someone else has experience with these problems.
