SMPlayer has its own page, at http://userbase.kde.org/SMPlayer.  If you think 
that any features are missing from the page, please edit it.

While we are on the subject, I don't do much video stuff.  There are several 
links from http://userbase.kde.org/Applications/Multimedia that are related to 
mplayer.  If you (or anyone else) would be willing to contribute to those 
pages I'd be delighted.  You don't even have to learn the syntax if you don't 
want to.  I'm always willing to accept text and screenshots by email for 
inclusion in userbase.
