I am looking for a console based movie player similar to mplayer. I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) and facing problems in compiling mplayer on my system.
mplayer can play on the console with either aalib (ASCII art), directfb or SVGA (frambuffers).
However, this might require you to compile mplayer from scratch and the dependencies which might not be that easy on Ubuntu.
