I wasn't trying to be prescriptive to Mac users. I was just show that
the mplayer.sh can made to detect the MAC and act differently if
necessary as this was one of the suggested possible solutions.

It looks like a number of things are necessary.

1.  The Mac install instructions need to be updated as mplayer has
changed (i.e no need for codecs) and also a specific version of mplayer
should be used as older one don't work.  

2. The install instruction could be more definitive about where to
install mplayer such as /usr/local/bin rather than give a choice.  This
would suit less experienced user who want clarity rather than leaving it
to their discretion.

3. Update mplayer.sh in line with the updated Mac instructions AND for
all Linux|Unix OSs (i.e. not just Mac) produce an error message in the
log testing to ensure that mplayer can be found.
