Introduction
Every Armadeus motherboard is capable of playing small MPEG videos with the help of the great Mplayer tool. It was successfully tested with 320x240 and 480x272 LCDs. Mplayer is using the Linux Framebuffer to display the videos.

- Activate mplayer package in Buildroot configuration:
[armadeus]$ make menuconfig
- save your configuration and then build it:
[armadeus]$ make
- finally reflash your rootfs
Usage
