dorphell,

Mplayer's PKGBUILD has a bug that causes it to create an invalid symlink /usr/share/mplayer/font. I've included a patch below that should work with pre5. Without it you won't get any OSD fonts and mplayer will complain about an bad ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf symlink.

PKGBUILD patch follows:

No problem.
I noticed a forum thread on the subject as well:
