Thank you for your comment. At the moment there doesn't seem to be anyone
who does more video than anything else. The purpose of a video player at
this point was for the normal desktop use as in completeness. I had not
thought of it as an essential tool for video creation.  That would be my
blind side. I understand video from an analogue and live production POV,
but not Desktop video creation. So I have added parole to fill the desktop
spot. Xine (which works for me when other things don't) seems to come by
default. But if there is something that is needed to fill a spot in the
video creation workflow. I would like to hear more about it. I had always
thought that the video editors like kdenlive provide their own way of
showing a video and that because of that a video player would not be
needed.

A good description of a video workflow for those of us who don't know
anything about it would be very useful. In fact a documentation of the
video work flow for those starting out in video creation would be
fantastic.
