Type of cable needed for new audio/video port on Model B+?

Just wondering what kind of cable I need to output audio and video using the new AV jack on the RPi model B+. I'm assuming it would look like a headphone cord but split to RCA or similar?

Raspberry Pi has H.264 licenses available. What does that mean though -- VLC claims to be able to play H.264 and VC-1 though, yet I see a lot of people advising against turning Raspberry Pi into a blueray player. GPU decoding on GNU/Linux, using…

Play videos from the command line without X

I have Arch Linux (downloaded from the Pi official download page) installed on my Pi. I would like to play videos with it from the command line without installing X. (Yeah, the goal is to make the Pi boots as fast as possible.) Is that possible?

What is the simplest way to play MKV files on an RPi3 running Raspbian?

Many links around state some complex installation configuration for this task. I've also heard that the VLC of Raspbian doesn't play videos (really?). Is there a simple, no-frills, way to play an HD MKV file in an RPi?
