* needs update for mplayer2 xmonad floats mplayer by default. However, Debian has switched to mplayer2, and so on upgrade, it will stop floating. This can be easily fixed in the user's config file, but here is a patch that avoids bothering the user with breakage on upgrade.

I guess "mpv" should also be in there.

As long as we're cleaning that up, gimp should probably *not* be in there any more. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

Brandon, Joachim:
The mplayer2 and gimp changes have been applied.
Carsten:
Mpv doesn't seem to be terribly popular according to popcon
(https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=mpv), so I'm hesitant to
add something that very few users will use.
Regards,
Adam

Seems to have gained popularity (almost double since July): https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=mpv&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 Though looking at it against a (declining) mplayer and (rising) mplayer2 shows that its numbers are low in an absolute sense :) . I expect mpv is probably more popular in Arch or Fedora circles anyways (though I compile from git). An mpv user, --Ben

An mpv user,
My impression is that mpv is more actively maintained than the other two.

I agree as well (wm4 is responsive and has a good eye during review), and I find the code to be very readable (certainly more than the last time I dove into mplayer; never tried mplayer2 with any real oomph behind it). That said, I know Reimar is still actively developing mplayer, but, IMO, mpv is on a better course. --Ben
