I have spent quite a lot of time lately trying to get this (VLC/libmplayer) to work, but long story short/without going into too much technical detail, it is not feasible because the ffmpeg libraries have assembly libraries which have embedded instruction sets which are not compatible with the CPU/OS architecture. I tried compiling the libraries in C-only mode, but performance was abysmal (2fps at best).
However, I am building my own media player which uses FUSE to mount remote folders through an ssh connection, and so far that is working quite well. It's a silly side project but it seems to mostly work. Why am I doing this to myself? I don't know. AI makes this more feasible though; it helped me set up a dev environment and is writing most of the code (badly). But it (mostly) works!
