Check my kweb manual about how to create a kiosk application and boot into it. kweb will call OmyplayerGUI and play any kind of media files, when you click a media link.
Minimal Kiosk Browser (kweb)
Slim, fast webkit browser with support for audio+video+playlists+youtube+pdf+download
Optional fullscreen kiosk mode and command interface for embedded applications
Includes omxplayerGUI, an X front end for omxplayer

why not use xbmc, you can set the share up to point at your nas file server,
really simple to use for beginners and full of eye-candy and loads of examples and huge community support
