The current dvb support for mplayer does not work with kernel 2.6. The patch given below needs to be applied. The DVB project have changed interface and the mplayer option for that is '--enable-dvbhead' The include path is not part of /usr/include/linux so I added a line to /usr/src/linux/include instead as the most standard way to find the DVB include files. --- Mikael R --- mplayer-1.0_pre6.ebuild.old 2005-02-28 22:52:13.000000000 +0100 +++ mplayer-1.0_pre6.ebuild 2005-02-28 23:22:03.724400144 +0100 @@ -312,6 +312,11 @@ src_compile() { else myconf="${myconf} --disable-tdfxvid" fi + + if use dvb; then + myconf="${myconf} --enable-dvbhead --with-dvbincdir=/usr/src/linux/include" + fi + if use fbcon && use 3dfx; then myconf="${myconf} --enable-tdfxfb" else @@ -319,7 +324,6 @@ src_compile() { fi myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable aalib aa)" myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable directfb)" - myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable dvb)" myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable fbcon fbdev)" myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable ggi)" myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable libcaca caca)" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Weeel, there's no need to do that. I used mplayer for quite some time with kernel 2.6. It's true there were changes at 2.6.8 that seemed to break things. But the proper fix would be for everyone who wants to use apps with dvb and kernel 2.6 to emerge the proper headers, which would be linux26-headers (I believe linux-headers are still the default). Here's a way to fix this: echo virtual/os-headers sys-kernel/linux26-headers >> /etc/portage/profile/virtuals emerge unmerge linux-headers emerge --oneshot linux26-headers glibc USE="dvb" emerge mplayer I hope your "fixes" don't break stuff on my box ;-) Later Sebastian
Please disregard previous post, lots of little errors. Here we go again. Weeell, there's no need to do that. I used mplayer for quite some time with kernel 2.6.

The new ebuild didn't break the dvb stuff on my box. So I'll stop whining if this helps people with 2.4 headers ;) Sebastian
