What I would do first is comment out the "testing" and "unstable" servers so you are only getting good rpms that will work and are not full of bugs.
Next, for the first server, Fedora Core 2 Base, enable the primary server. You have all the mirrors, but the main server is commented out.
Uncomment and activate the following alternate servers: freshrpms, dries, newrpms, atrpms-stable, and atrpms-good.
Now you will have a larger file database to choose from, so mplayer should be able to install from one of the servers. It will take longer for yum to search all the servers, so you can activate & deactivate different servers as necessary, or create different yum.conf files to accomplish the same purpose. Then you just specify which one to use in the command line.
yum -c yum.all.conf or yum -c yum.livina.conf
Good luck!

This is the output of yum install result (By yum.conf sample copied from Fedora.org);
