Going by what is said about mplayer2 in this Gentoo forum post dated
July 2014, https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-996386.html?sid=501b6e84ba5ae3bd7296efd193a166c5,
mplayer2 has not seen active development for about 12 months at least.
As I found myself having to decide if I wanted mplayer2 installed on
my system when updating the world set the other day, I decided against
it. I just removed smplayer from my system altogether, which reduced
the amount of packages wanting to be updated or installed as new
slots, which was the case with mplayer2.
There may be other viable avenues available as well. I opted for the
one that seemed the easiest for me.
