Just installed Xbian an hour ago. So far set up has been sweet, and it's been nice and zippy.

Haven't figured this out though... is it possible to play from command line via ssh? I did a quick forum/google search and couldn't find anything.

I've tried
Code:
omxplayer ~/somevideo.mp4
...assuming that the default player is omxplayer. And also:
Code:
xbmc ~/somevideo.mp4

~thank ye~
You can use the json api from xbmc.
