Daniel, I don't know anything about AlienBBC, but maybe my unix
knowledge can help.. is /usr/local/bin (or wherever mplayer is
located) on your path?  You can type "echo $PATH" from the bash prompt
to print the path, which will be a colon (":") separated list of
directories.  You might find it easier to read if you use

     echo $PATH | tr : '\n'

this will change the colons into newlines to make reading the path
contents easier.  You should probably test this logged in as whichever
user runs slimserver..
