Make sure you have the packman repo
Disable vlc repo

In Yast - Software Management
filter by repo - select packman
from the packages button along the top - do- update all in this list unconditionally
then scroll down and make sure mplayer and smplayer are checked

Mostly they will show up after install. But not always. You can add by using the menu editor. Make sure panel is unlocked - right click. Then right click start/menu button to use menu editor.
Select the area you want an item added and enter the details.
