I attach another patch to try to fix this issue. This patch adds the possibility to compile smplayer to not use the -fontconfig and -nofontconfig options. This way it will never fail with mplayer2.
Edit smplayer.pro and delete or comment the line DEFINES += USE_FONTCONFIG_OPTIONS It seems the -fontconfig option is now enabled by default by mplayer, so it's actually not needed. The -nofontconfig option is necessary if the user wants to specify a ttf font for subtitles, but there are other methods to change the font. -- RVM
