To play videos with out going to X (with mplayer) you'll need to use the
framebuffer or the SVGA lib as output.
Using:
mplayer -vo fbdev file.mpg
or:
mplayer -vo svga file.mpg
should work from the console.
mplayer -vo help
gives a list of the available video output drivers.
I'm not sure about other media players.
