OMXPlayer is a commandline OMX player for the Raspberry Pi. It was developed as a testbed for the XBMC Raspberry PI implementation and is quite handy to use standalone.
git clone git://github.com/huceke/omxplayer.git
You need the content of your sdcard somewhere mounted or copied. There might be development headers to install on the running Pi system for the crosscompiling.
Edit Makefile.include and change the settings according your locations.
You can also compile it on the PI the native way ;)
make ffmpeg
make
make dist
Copy over omxplayer-dist/* to the Pi /. You may want to specify a valid font
path inside the omxplayer shell script.
