cd MPlayer-0.90
./configure
make
->
Checking for DVB ... no 
(specify path to DVB/ost/include with --with-extraincdir=DIR)

It seems to want these files from DVB/ost/include:
#include <ost/dmx.h>
#include <ost/frontend.h>
#include <ost/sec.h>
#include <ost/video.h>
#include <ost/audio.h>

I can find sec.h only from siemens_dvb-0.9.4.tar.gz Unfortunately I
found several version of 0.9.4!!  All more or less broken!

Drivers from www.linux-dvb.tv (dvb-20030331.tar.bz2) and CVS update
21.4.03 seem to work.

So my MPlayer has no DVB support. What do I lose?



I wrote a simple script to call dvbstream | mplayer. Is there any
program to do this?

Currently I can only get stream for 3 seconds! Perhaps Hauppauge DVB
card needs extra cooling.  It worked well last week, when temperature
was lower. Does anyone else have this problem?
