Constants
Starting from rev13, MPlayer OSX Extended exposes a number of constants which can be changed by adding them to your preferences property list (you could call them "hidden preferences" as well). You can change any of the following constants by either editing the plist directly or issuing following command in the terminal:
defaults write hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended <key name> <value>
And reset the constant to its default with the following command:
defaults delete hu.mplayerhq.mplayerosx.extended <key name>
