Edwin Groothuis 375304aa7c NEW PORT: multimedia/freevo, an open-source home theatre PC platform
This is a new port for Freevo, an open-source home theatre
	PC platform based on Linux and a number of open-source
	audio/video tools.  I considered submitting this as a
	follow-up to ports/59047 but decided against as it is an
	entirely new port.

PR:		ports/68215

Freevo is an open-source digital video jukebox (PVR, DVR) based on Linux
in addition to a number of open-source audio/video tools. MPlayer is
used to play audio and video files. MPlayer is an excellent media player
that can play most popular file formats. Freevo can be used both for a
standalone PVR computer with a TV+remote, as well as on a regular
desktop computer using the monitor and keyboard.
Freevo is easy to download and install for new users. Most hardware is
supported (graphic boards, sound cards and video capture devices).
The Freevo core is under heavy development. It is mostly written in the
Python programming language which is very well suited for high-level
control applications like Freevo.
