Can't install it at the moment:

(sid)mv78100:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://10.0.0.100:9999/debian sid main
deb http://10.0.0.100:9999/debian experimental main
deb-src http://10.0.0.100:9999/debian sid main
(sid)mv78100:~$ sudo apt-get install -t experimental mplayer2

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mplayer2 : Depends: libswscale1 (>= 4:0.7~~) but it is not installable or
                     libswscale-extra-1 (>= 4:0.7~~) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
(sid)mv78100:~$ sudo apt-get install -t experimental mplayer2 libswscale1

Package libswscale1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libswscale1' has no installation candidate
