    May be you can fetch build from this link omxplayer.sconde.net especially on debian based minimal distro and install it. On other flavors, you can get source from github.com/huceke/omxplayer and compile it by yourself. Hope it helps. Commented Jun 21, 2015 at 13:41

    I burned the latest minibian image to a spare SD card and ran it on my Rpi 2. Boot time is about 8 - 10 secs. And since It is a debian OS, you can simply type "apt-get update && apt-get install omxplayer" to install it. Although before doing that, you would like to install raspi-config (apt-get install raspi-config) to expand your rootfs size as there is hardly any room for videos. :) Hope you find this helpful.
