You've installed the command line version of mplayer and I don't know of anyway to automatically launch a command line app from the Finder when you want to open a file. Possibly cooking up a little Applescript and compiling it as an app that you can run from the context menu or from a default handler? However, despite that there used to be a variant available for the regular mplayer port that installed MPlayer.app in /Applications/MacPorts. IMHO, it was a weaker app at that point but it did work as a 1st class Mac app so you could select it to open a file, etc. I would look into that.

Re: Using mplayer through Finder
It doesn't solve my problem : mplayer unix binary is still gray when I want to select it for setting association.

Re: Using mplayer through Finder
Nobody knows ? :-/ There should be a trick, like building a .app file si it can be associated to video files in Finder...

Using mplayer through Finder
Hi, I've installed mplayer-svn with MacPorts. However, I can use mplayer only through terminal. I can't launch a movie with mplayer when i'm using Finder. It's impossible to associate mplayer to an AVI file. Is there a trick to get video files associeted with mplyer binary file ?
