Try using multimedia/mpv instead. mpv is a fork of mplayer and arguably the better media player of the two.

Thank you kindly good sir, i’ll post back if anything goes wrong.

Edit:
Ran into a little trouble that was fixed by installing security/ca_root_cert and running:
wget --ca-certificate /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt https://www.google.com/
ln -s /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem
