Package: zathura
Version: 0.3.6-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
I have a feature request: I found out that the okular [1][2]
is able to play videos embedded in pages of PDF documents
created with LaTeX and beamer [3] (which includes the "multimedia"
LaTeX package, defining the \movie command).

Could the same feature be implemented in zathura, in order to let it
play videos embedded in PDF pages? Perhaps some code could be borrowed
from okular (if there's no objection to the introduction of GPL-licensed
code into zathura [4]).

Please forward my feature request upstream and/or help the upstream
developers to implement this feature.

Thanks for your time.
Bye!

[4] zathura is zlib-licensed and hence GPL-compatible, but maybe there's
    some dislike for copyleft licenses, I don't know...
