in local_conf.py:
SYS_SHUTDOWN_ENABLE = 1
SYS_SHUTDOWN_CMD = "sudo /sbin/halt"
SYS_RESTART_CMD = "sudo /sbin/reboot"
SYS_SHUTDOWN_CONFIRM = 0
If you are not root, you have to include your user in /etc/sudoers in order
to shutdown your PC:
sudo /bin/sh -c "echo '<user> ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot,
/sbin/shutdown' >> /etc/sudoers"

I've tried that approach without success. I think mplayer doesn't support a
key to cycle between aspect ratios (at least, I haven't found it), so I have
a similar configuration as yours:
EVENTS['video']['1'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='switch_ratio
-1') # Original
EVENTS['video']['3'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='switch_ratio
1.33333') # 4:3
EVENTS['video']['7'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='switch_ratio
1.77778') # 16:9
EVENTS['video']['9'] = Event(VIDEO_SEND_MPLAYER_CMD, arg='switch_ratio
2.35') # Cinemascope
