I have this problem too, but then I tryied to install using the setup.py and worked fine.

Thanks for this great lib man!

The problem is caused by mplayer2 (in my case) mplayer.py generate methods based on mplayer -input cmdlist output, and mplayer2 adds MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team at the bottom of the list.

The correct solution I guess is to ignore the last line if we are working with mplayer2, or just add try/rescue. I'm going to test mplayer.py + mplayer2 and if everything is ok - submit pr
