Subtitles with non-ascii characters
See:
#91: mplayer OSD subtitles displays non-ascii characters as ???
If you have a subtitle file in a foreign language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) encoded in unicode (utf8) that doesn't display well with mplayer, try adding the -ass option (see man page).
You can add it in ~/.mplayer/config:
# Turn on SSA/ASS subtitle rendering.
ass=yes
Audio filters
mono/stereo
If you have a file with audio only one side (mono audio, with silence on the other side), you can equalize the sound so that you can hear the audio in both ears:
mplayer -af pan=1:1:0 file.avi
