When ever I try to use it gives this warning:
Error in skin config file at line 19: PNG read error in /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default/skinb
followed by another warning
Config file processing error with skin 'default'

try reinstalling mplayer, perhaps that will solve the issue – gogeccc Jun 6 '16 at 13:12

The solution is to convert all .png files in cd /usr/share/mplayer/skins/default to png24.
You can use imagemagick:
for FILE in *.png ; do sudo convert $FILE -define png:format=png24 $FILE ; done

Follow these steps to completely reinstall mplayer along with configuration files. This should get rid of errors.
Warning : This will also remove custom configuration settings you have added (if any)!!
Completely remove mplayer
sudo apt-get remove --purge mplayer
Note that because of --purge option, your Global Configuration files in /etc/mplayer will also be removed.
Remove Local Configuration files
rm -r ~/.mplayer/
Now install mplayer back
sudo apt-get install mplayer
