Hai Yeah I get that all the time on new installs with mplayer heres what I do.
first run mplayer as root, if it doesn't work just make the directories and files it cant find or open in the /root home directory with "mkdir" and "touch" for files (last time I did this mplayer made all the files and directories). now copy the .mplayer file from /root to /home/adam ie as root cd cp -r .mplayer /home/adam then cd /home/adam chown -R adam .mplayer and bingo it all works when you run it as a user.
