This is on STABLE. I had two issues building the port: 1) I had to install xmltv by hand, x11-toolkits/p5-Tk-TableMatrix doesn't build any more. It is optional for xmltv, but a dependancy for the port version. 2) sysutils/stat should be a dependancy, freevo won't run without it. The TV/VCR features don't work with new PVR[23]50 driver. The problem is some unsupported ioctl's that mplayer/mencoder -tv use. I'm not sure that you would want to use mencoder any way since the pvr[23]50 gives you an mpeg2 stream native... the web interface does not work either. This is an abridged version of what I get on the browser: web.Server Traceback (most recent call last): exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'statvfs' I don't know how many of freevo's features are actually supposed to work, the web interface is documented (in the config file) as being experimental. So far, freevo will play existing media files and play from the dvd-rom. I can browse the TV listings and schedule recordings and I hope with a bit of creative hacking to actually get it to record from my pvr350. -stacy
