In T2, I have bumped mplayer version to 1.1.1. However, there is a problem that has been around for a long time. I don't know how other people are managing to compile mplayer in T2, because it won't. But then, I have a custom pkg_mplayer.conf, so I am hitting this problem and probably others are not encountering it.
Compile fails with: "linux/videodev.h: no such file or directory" Now, that header file was in the kernel source up to 2.6.32, after that it became videodev2.h. There is some old code in mplayer that wants the old header. The solution is simple, I copy the old 'videodev.h' into the T2 build, at usr/include/linux. My solution is a manual one, I haven't tried to patch the mplayer source to use videodev2.h. Googling, the copy-in-videodev.h solution is what others have done. Just posting this to inform everyone about this problem, in case anyone else hits it. It is to do with enabling V4L support in mplayer.
