Hi,

is there any reason why Totem is not the default media player in FC4 ?
The test releases still have Helix Player, while Totem is now the
default GNOME player, and currently it plays more formats.  (Helix
Player was added quite late to FC3 and without any warning or discussion
- I probably should have brought it up sooner :))

Helix Player is not very nice UI-wise (check the number of tabs under
preferences), and not particularly well integrated with the desktop.
Any particular reason why it should be the default ? For that matter,
shouldn't it get moved to Extras anyway ?


Agreed we should do this. Core can ship with totem, and arbitrary 3rd-party provided plugins can be added in order to enable other codecs.
