Ideas for future improvements:

Now works w/ PS3. The PS3 still has issues as it has limited
codec support (D-Link is better) and does not support AC3 audio
in MPEG-TS streams yet (not even downsampling to stereo PCM).
Add rar file support. This is optional, and if rarfile is not
installed, things will work, just not be able to look into rar
files.
Fix problem when adding multiple res with same mime-type and adding
transcoding mime-types to all files, not just video type files.
Speed up detection of large zip files. Previously we would
instantiate the ZipFile class, which was expensive. Use the
is_zipfile function instead.
Fix handling of Containers. Previously we would rescan the root
dir many times due to calling doUpdate when we just wanted to
update the SystemID. There was also a bug where we would do a
lot more work than necessary. This significantly speeds up
large directories.
Improve mpegtsmod so that it doesn't always scan the first 2 megs
of the file. Do a quick check of the first few KB first.
Create a new module that fetchs an XML files, parses it, and
presents the media in it. This is to integrate my Python PVR
so that I can browse the shows I have recorded.
Fix transcoding of MPEG-2, use mp2 audio instead of mp3.
Sync up the programs in mpegts.

v0.3:
Include some patches for twisted in the distro, in the directory
