FWIW, mplayer works great for me here.

Perhaps you should try upgrading your system to 4.8.  There should be no
reason that the mplayer port won't compile and work on 4.7, but there
may be a bogon hidden somewhere in the binaries you have installed that
caused problems in the mplayer compile.  It's almost always worth
updating your system to the latest release before filing a bug report
just to make certain that the bug has not already been fixed.
