Just wanted to share what i just got working (yes pretty low level), this is for my MEDIA PC, really only use it to see video and i wanted to omit the keyboard, when using mplayer without GUI then normally you will use LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, PgUp, PgDn to skip and so on.
In my setup i now only use the mouse for this PC, a stock logitech mouse (left, right, scroll & middle click).
Explaining of the functions:
Standard stuff:
Double click left = Full screen
Single click right = pause/play
Single click middle = OSD time progress
Scroll wheel = Volume -/+ 2
Extra good stuff:
Hold right & double click left = Quit
Hold left & scroll = seek -/+ 5 sec
Hold right & scroll = seek -/+ 30 sec
Hold middle & scroll = seek -/+ 300 sec (5 min)
The hold right & double click left is a nice touch so it is not needed to put the video out of full screen (double click left) and closing it there

config (not nessarry but thought i would throw it in here)
Code:
ao=sdl
vo=xv
fs=0
geometry=100%:100%
xy=600
ontop=1
And a quick explaining on the config:
ao=sdl (use sdl as audio output)
vo=xv (use xv as video output)
fs=0 (set to 1 for start in full screen)
geometry=100%:100% (start the video in the bottom right corner)
xy=600 (set video width to 600, hight is dependent on aspect)
ontop=1 (set video to be 'Always on top')
If you are not into how the whole mplayer thing works (new to ubuntu), then here is a short explanation:
The 2 files config & input.conf goes in your /home/ (your user name) /.mplayer
To start video's with mplayer:
Right click on video file (nautilus)
Select Properties
Under 'Open With' tab select Add
Select 'Use a custom command'
Type in '/usr/bin/mplayer'
and that's it for that file type (video type), do the same if you open a video and it does not open in the no GUI window in the corner.
