[Feature Request] Support mplayer

[barracuda156]

Please consider supporting mplayer – it is a light-weight, minimal dependency media player, similar to mpv, but easier to build.

With mplayer is there any arg to provide headers ?

I tried around with mplayer. It is only using the provied http headers (-http-header-fields) for the initial request instead of passing it to libavformat. So it isnt possible to use mplayer currently.

I would need to add support for streamlink to make it work.
