Introduction to MPlayer
The MPlayer package contains an audio/video player controlled via the command line or a graphical interface which is able to play almost every popular audio and video file format and codec. With supported video hardware and additional drivers, MPlayer can play video files without an X Window System installed.
For MPlayer general information and available features, including a full list of file formats, codecs and output devices supported by MPlayer, visit the MPlayer web site.

Install a basic skin for use with the GUI:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/mplayer/Skin &&
tar -xvf ../Blue-1.8.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/mplayer/Skin &&
chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/Blue &&
chmod -v 755 /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/Blue{,/icons} &&
ln -sfv Blue /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/default
Correct a hard coded path to Xorg in the configure script:
sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@${XORG_PREFIX}@g" configure
If not installing the GUI, remove the "--enable-x11 --enable-gui" from the configure command.
Configure and compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --enable-largefiles \
--enable-x11 --enable-gui &&
make
Install the package:
make install install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/mplayer && cp -v -R DOCS/* /usr/share/doc/mplayer install -m644 etc/codecs.conf /etc/mplayer install -m644 etc/*.conf /etc/mplayer echo "dev.rtc.max-user-freq=1024" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
