A few days before, I installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 on my android, but it has no gui so I can't play video. Is there is any way to play video using terminal?

  • To do this you need mplayer with the option: mplayer -vo caca /path/to/the/video Or mplayer -vo fbdev /path/to/the/video (to show the output on framebuffer) – Armand Bozsik Feb 02 '16 at 11:55

You can install mplayer:

sudo aptitude install mplayer

mplayer *  #for multiple files

OR 

mplayer -vo fbdev -fs <video.avi>
