As for the video, you need to make sure that mplayer is configured to output using x11 device. Nothing else will work os PS3 linux.

How did you install mplayer? what command did you use? I've posted my /etc/make.conf file contents here on this forum. Read up on it, and look at the USE flags that I am setting on my make.conf file. If you set it the way I have it, just about every media type will play. But you must use 'emerge -av mplayer' not emerge -avG mplayer. pre-compiled binaries do not have all the codec support. You must compile your own with the correct use settings. If you follow these directions, you shouldn't even have to touch the audio settings in mplayer or in VLC.
