Just have a look at /usr/lib/menu/mplayer. Mine looks like this:

?package(mplayer):command=/usr/bin/gmplayer section="Apps/Viewers"
needs=X11 title=gmplayer

Then, try to re-run update-menus.

If that doesn't work or you really want to call mplayer (without the
gui) just drop on appropriate menu definition into /etc/menu (just read
the README in there) and re-run update-menus.
