Have you got lsdvd installed? It's used in freevo to read the disc
structure.

There are more options to lsdvd.
In my /etc/fstab I have:
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,utf8 0 0
I don't think that the utf8 is important.
In my /etc/freevo/local_conf.py I have:
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/dvd', 'DVD') ]
Strange that I've not used /dev/dvd in fstab.
In my /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:
BUS="ide", KERNEL="*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media",
RESULT="cdrom", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="dvd cdrom"
It creates two symlinks to /dev/hdc -> /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom

I hate xmltv too, it's big and slow with too many dependencies. In
http://www.linuxowl.com/ffs/scripts/sources/ffs/xmltv-modules/ there is
a file called ordered-build which details the order that the perl
modules for xmltv are build. It's long and not all are required.
