Hi,

> You must be kidding. MPlayer2 was born dead and VLC

this alone is a false claim and without any prove to be considered a blatant 
lie.

MPlayer2 works like a charm, so does VLC. VLC might even be the pioneer for 
compatibility and interoperability in open source media player software.

I can imaging that modern software might lack desired features under extremely 
non-standard operating environments. If you kill everything that is needed on 
a modern Linux desktop, then expect things to break, and please do not blame 
it on the software.

> Honestly, please bring mplayer+ffmpeg back!

Please come by at my desk and give me at least one proof of concept where 
mplayer works AND (mplayer2 doesn't OR vlc doesn't) AND the media at hand is 
not obviously broken.
