PS3 linux has no real access to graphics hardware, and the framebuffer access it DOES have is as crappy as can be expected - reports of Myth suggest that not only is HD playback completely impossible, but regular SD playback isn’t doable without major jerkiness (making a £425 Playstation 3 inferior to a £50 Xbox as a PVR)

Until Sony stop playing silly buggers & open up real access to the graphics chip (for nv/nouveau, or even possible nvidia-glx) access, there’s no hope for anyone using PS3 linux for, well, anything.
