Unfortunately I oversaw this posting from Diego from July 2009:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-cvslog/2009-July/037269.html

which reverted my previous change:

Diego,

the error 
vidix/ivtv_vid.c:38:24: error: linux/ivtv.h: No such file or directory

indicates that that you have outdated include files on your system. 
ivtv is part of the kernel since 2.6.22 (for 2 1/2 years now). Every recent 
distribution should have an ivtv.h

Unfortunately there was a short period where this file has been placed in 
/usr/include/media (2.6.22 + 2.6.23). 

The change to /usr/include/linux
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/c5f30f9e72bd
came into 2.6.24.

Would be fine if you could implement a check for /usr/include/linux/ivtv.h or 
/usr/include/media/ivtv.h, and -if found - add ivtv to the list of 
_vidix_drivers.

Greets,

Martin
