Description
Smplayer's behavior is to send -vid 0 parameter to the mplayer2 binary, which doesn't work for many videos in mplayer2 (there's no video rendered), however the same works for mplayer; so this behavior should be reproduced in mplayer2 also.
Setting custom parameters to -vid -1 solves the problem.

MPlayer1 also had some bugs in the stream numbering behavior (like reporting selected stream numbers different from what it accepted as input). Unless similar problems occur with new videos (or after clearing old per-video information stored by SMPlayer), I'll assume this problem was mainly about SMPlayer storing outdated/incorrect information about the videos, and there isn't much that could be done about it in mplayer2.
What do you consider a bug here? That "-vid 0" does not select a valid video track for all videos? That can't really be considered a bug.
Apparently SMPlayer passes a "-vid" parameter when it remembers old settings for the video, including the selected video track. Did you play those videos with MPlayer1 before? Or significantly older versions of mplayer2? Possibly the track numbering changed for those videos and so the old remembered settings are no longer valid. What container format are those videos in?
