Warning from mplayer emerge:

You've enabled the 'gtk' use flag which will build
GMPlayer, which is no longer actively developed upstream
and is not supported by Gentoo.  There are alternatives
for a GUI frontend: smplayer, gnome-mplayer and kmplayer.

Note from x264 emerge:

Please note that this package now only installs
x264 libraries. In order to have the encoder,
please emerge media-video/x264-encoder.

Updated [package.use]:

# MDM gtk is deprecated as a front end, kill it...
# "Use smplayer, gnome-mplayer and kmplayer instead".
# smplayer needs [srt].
media-video/mplayer -gtk srt

Updated [package.keywords]:

# MDM Un-soft-mask VLC (and dependencies)
media-video/vlc
media-plugins/live
media-video/ffmpeg
media-libs/x264
media-libs/x264-encoder

Emerged:

emerge -Davu smplayer gnome-mplayer kmplayer

[x264-encoder] wasn’t ready to emerge, mplayer wants a different version than vlc. Holding off for now…
