Hi, Please note that I don't want to discuss all the applications of the seed, but show some problems with the choice for the video player.
There is currently 2 problems : - SMplayer brings unnecessary depends on QT packages (near 20 Mb). If it's only to bring a better GUI for Mplayer, there is gnome-mplayer which should achieve this goal. If nobody complain, I'll replace smplayer by gnome-player in the seed. - Mplayer depends on problematic packages (like LAME which have patents issues). It means that Mplayer can't be shipped on a ISO, because it's illegal in some countries. The ideal solution is to find a small GTK+ video player, with Gstreamer support, which allow installing problematic packages after the initial installation. Unfortunately, I can't find any :( A temporary solution is to put mplayer to recommends packages, instead of a depends. In this case, lubuntu-desktop could be installed without mplayer. I plan to move mplayer to recommends if no better solution is found.
