Read the first post where you downloaded gmplay. You need to use the commands shown to run a video, and that video file must be on your kindle (when using those commands). You do NOT need gmplay.c (the source code) on your kindle to play videos. You should be able to play videos from xterm. There are reports that you can also play them from a launcher, if you configure the menus properly. You do not need to decompress the video .gz files first. You can decompress them and pipe them directly into gmplay as shown in the example commands.
There are plans to add sound support to gmplay when I get some time. The sample videos provided are all (mostly) silent films.
