I tried xbmc too.  I'm going to have to upgrade to use it, because
I don't have a card which does VDPAU.  I tried to use mplayer as an 
external player, but it doesn't work as well as it does with freevo
and I cannot explain why.  Also, I couldn't get the remote to work :-(

I like my freevo!!

Are there any instructions as to how to install and run freevo2 from
svn repository?  I don't see anything on the wiki.

I've written a couple of freevo plugins, learned python (a little) to
do so.

I'm might try helping out development if I can install and play with
freevo 2.

Thanks for any help.

Jim
