I'm running into some troubles with Xpdf, as it doesn't open many of the files that are into my disk: no error message, some work fine, others don't display a thing...
Checked them on my Mac, and the files are fine, so my guess is it's something about Xpdf. Suggestions? Or an alternative program?

Also where are MPlayer settings located, I want to add them to .filettol.lst, in order to save them, but even when I restart the program I have to configure it again.
Fullscreen doesn't also work, I get a full black screen with the video on it's original size on the middle.

I'm running v3.2 on USB-ZIP install.

Oh, and congrats on the great system you've put together!

There is a new = larger Xpdf in the UCI section of the repository. Read its info file.

man mplayer:

The system-wide configuration file ’mplayer.conf’ is in your configuration directory (e.g. /etc/ mplayer or /usr/local/etc/mplayer), the user specific one is ’~/ .mplayer/config’.

There's also help on that for fullscreen scaling/zoom/stretching. I'd recommend for you utilize the xv video-out plugin for video acceleration instead, though.
