Hi,
Does anyone know of a media player I can add to an existing Jessie image?
Many thanks

You can use some std linux media programs, so long as they are compatible with Jessie Debian. Best way is to compile a version on your RPi. I compiled VLC on my RPi3 and it works well (though it took a LONG time to compile. Search the web / board for how to install / compile VLC for Jessie Debian.

Omxplayer should already be included. There is also omxplayerGUI if you want a GUI.
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

mPlayer is available from the repository. It is mPlayer2 though, so it doesn't have the udp functions. I compiled mPlayer so it would have that function if you need it.
