Quoting Jürgen Göricke (bugreport@mag-keinen-spam.de): > Hello everyone, > > because this bug report is still not closed, I would like to check the status of this bug report after more than a year and after the release of Debian Stretch. > When is it planned to replace the VLC Media Player with Xfce's own Media Player Parole? > And no, the VLC player is not a good alternative, as mentioned above due to the Qt dependencies and of course because this player often has security vulnerabilities. > It is therefore advisable to replace the VLC Media Player with the Media Player Parole. Once again, I have strictly no advice about this. Formerly in the bug report, Yves-Alexis didn't really object but argued about VLC being kind of the reference player which "everybody" expects. On the ther hand he gave no advice *against* having Parole specifically in the Xfce task. Finally, as we were late in the release process, the change didn't seem a good thing to do at that moment....but now is maybe a better moment. Xfce developers in Debian (if some are left), do you have objections ? --
