Dragon player is a simple solution that is offered by upstream (KDE). It is preferred not to vary to much from the original KDE packaging. Just take it as a basic. FOSS offers choices.
VLC is easy installable via package-management (if someone wants/needs more). I think everybody has his/her own priorities. I've been liking&using VLC for years, especially since I like programs that are extremely configurablé. Even though I've beeen using the SM-Player in parallel, since it offers some advantages Like you, I 've also installed the MPV-player (no volume-leveller, my bad :-), thus even less than dragon-player). Especially in conjunction with a firefox-addon mpv-youtube-dl-binding it offers unique advantages like no other package has. I don not like high CPU-loads. In german there is a term "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" which is hardly existent. This translates like "egg-/wool-/ -milk supplying animal" Reminds me of early days in distro-hopping. Like with most things in life there are advantages and disadvantages, which you can weigh personally, but it's hard to cover that for a wider audience. A brother of mine is not very much into software and he gets along pretty well with Dragon-player, it fills his basic needs. > Why is VLC not installed by default since the restricted packages are not > required? Guessing: Licence issues in some countries. (Did say so before.)
