Ok... Hands on! I kinda need this... So guide me and I'll try my best!
1st - can I use pdp_xv on the RPi?... will it work? putting it very simply, the thing I need is really just a video window to throw some videos in... short videos and from time to time. meaning it is not a VJ machine... which it could be... but it ain't!
2nd - if not, so if there is currently NO WAY to have video coming out of PD in a RPi, where can I start to try an make it happen!?
3rd - I got a git account... I don't really know how to use it though!!! As I said before, give me a bit of guidance and I'll try my best to help on the development of this!
thanks JV
One place to start is to read thru the archives on this list, and the pd-dev and gem-dev lists, since this topic has been discussed quite a bit. There was one recent suggestion of trying to use a new library that makes it easier to port OpenGL apps to OpenGL ES. Trying to build Gem with that library would be a good thing to try.

if you really just need to play videos triggered by your pd patch then you can use the player that comes with the Pi, it can be played using [shell].
here is a very quick example I set up for a friend who wanted to play a bunch of videos on que, starting different videos together on 4 or 5 Pis cued from a laptop over wifi. It wasn't hard for her to get a screenfull of buttons to do the cues she wanted, and the Pis were great since she didn't have much time to set up in the venue, so her wifi network could be run and tested offsite. Plus the Pis worked out cheaper than buying long VGA cables etc.
Anyway this worked for her .. obviously it is extremely limited, but it does let you play videos cued by pd. Just open pihelp.pd
Now I want to get things a bit better, and see if I can put together a very simple set of pd objects to set up a window then play and crossfade a series of videos. Nothing fancy yet, but just getting that up will be a start.
Unfortunately it can't happen too soon, I've got some other stuff on my plate too.
