Hm.. it really shouldn't be so much of an issue.
Just doing a default install of MinGW and MSYS without doing anything
special should allow you to compile MPlayer - even though you might want
to add support for a few more things (in particular the patch to properly
support > 2GB files http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/misc/file64_mingw.diff).
And since you already had it running, it _should_ only be a matter of running
the mingw installer again and let it update everything...
Well, maybe it still isn't quite as easy, maybe I should try to do a up-to-date
guide again one of these days - though I am just using cross-compilation with
Gentoo these days.

For files <= 2GB (larger files will have issues with seeking) I can offer you
this build, so you can at least test if everything now works again:
