Well, so far all diappointments come from freevo, I'm sorry to say. I decided 
to go wmv, after having googled up a solution (there is a -playlist <uri> way 
to start mplayer which fixes the looping).

On the freevo side, however, I'm unable to find a way to tell it to add 
"-playlist" at the last argument before the uri in the mplayer command line. 
There is something called <playlists/> referred to in various freevo howtos, 
but they all differ in the exact format to use in the fxd. To make matters 
even more confused, the video/plugins/mplayer.py file has handling for 
something called playlists in fxds, _but_ its implementation is a "-playlist" 
argument in the middle of the mplayer command line (and that makes mplayer 
error out).

I'm currently at a loss for understanding the fxd format (is there an 
authoritative DTD somewhere? All I've found is fragments). Judging from the 
source, I'm inclined to believe that asx playlist handling (i.e. -playlist 
<uri>) is unsupported by freevo. I just might end up hacking the source to add 
this feature myself one day.

The actual screen scraping of the site is done. I have 3 10-line perl scripts 
which creates ~500 fxd files. I just need to convince freevo to do the right 
thing with the fxds.
