That's because Mer uses OmapFB video driver as a default, which is unable to play videos, so even if you had mediabox it won't help. Install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev, remove driver and device specs from xorg.conf and your videos will work like this:

The best xserver for NITs would be xserver-xomap but it has keyboard some issues currently.

Btw, i'd like to have MediaBox too , and what i have tested, it compiles, installs and works ok once there's mplayer
