I pulled out the ports r364424 out of SVN and compiled
multimedia/mplayer on the Acer netbook (all other depencies have been
installed as packages before). The compiled mplayer crashes as well with
the file.

If you want to make a test, just download the file with
youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jOHHyJMgWk'
which gives a local file (note the blanks in the name)
'Acer C720 Chromebook SSD Upgrade MyDigitalSSD 128GB--jOHHyJMgWk.mp4'
and start mplayer with it like:

$ mplayer 'Acer C720 Chromebook SSD Upgrade MyDigitalSSD 128GB--jOHHyJMgWk.mp4'
