Yes indeed - I can use a VM as a guinea pig, but not my own PC, so
usually I would wait a bit after a release updating my production
system(s). The good thing is that many people use testing and report
back issues, so that these issues get solved.
I do not see a reason not to upgrade to stable couple of months before
it becomes old stable.
Just install and try mplayer from the command line - I am sure it was
working fine with mp4 files under stretch.

I followed the instructions there, made no diff. Now have 6 players in
the menu, but none work. This all Just Worked a year ago running wheezy.
