mplayer's ivtv USE currently requires kernel headers <2.6.20. I assume this was because 2.6.20 had a bug that prevented the firmware from loading, however I think >=2.6.20-r2 fixed the issue and ivtv should work. There could be more to this but I assume it's just a "can't test every setup" thing and I'm the first one with this setup to report it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge mplayer 2. 3. Actual Results: It sometimes blocks because other packages wanted headers 2.6.20 but a few times it wants to downgrade headers to 2.6.19 which is incorrect Expected Results: It should merge mplayer and depend on <20 or >=20-r2 merging ivtv-10.1-r1mplayer-1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r2 linux-headers-2.6.20-r2

I assume this was > because 2.6.20 had a bug that prevented the firmware from loading, No, the reason is because linux-headers 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 use different V4L2 APIs. Until it is ported upstream to the new one, we wont be able to change the dependency.

ivtv 1.0.x is now built into 2.6.22 and newer, so this should be fixed in mplayer now. ivtv 1.0.1 is stable too.
Reopen.
This was already fixed in mplayer-1.0_rc1_p20070824.ebuild
Can we stabilize this then ???
