Well, if you are afraid of the load, you can either post through
gmane, or subscribe with the option 'no mail' so that you don't get
the mails, but you will be able to post.

MPlayer's GUI isn't supposed to work on OSX, so it's not surprising
that you can't make it work ^^
The GUI which is supposed to work is MPlayer OSX. You can find
relevant information about how to compile and use it here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/macos.html#osx_gui

I've just updated the checkout commandlines, but the online doc on the
website may not show this latest version.
In doubt, here's the checkout commadline:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayerosx/trunk/ mplayerosx
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk/ main
