The installation instructions for Mac OS X and this version could do
with a slight change.

You say
Install the standard version of mplayer for osx from:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

This should read 

Install Mplayer for OS X from ...
(This is a Mac application containing the Unix file file mplayer)

or some similar words (you may well think of better wording). You do
need to distinguish between Mplayer and mplayer, and make it clear that
it is Mplayer that the user wants to install.

Also, the installation of Mplayer lets users install in the folder of
their choice. You need to tell people that unless they install Mplayer
in the default location suggested by the installer then they will have
to edit mplayer.sh

I am inclined to think that anyone well enough used to the Mac to
install in a non-default location should be experienced enough either
to do the editing themselves or to ask for help here,. We don't want
the instructions to be too complex, but I think a signpost about custom
installs is needed.
