Thats not at all true. (And FWIW, Fedora _still_ appears to be shipping Firefox with internally bundled libtheora, libvorbis, libogg which IIRC are identical with upstream; and libvpx which it appears is not identical to upstream) With the exception of support for chained files and surround the ogg support in firefox is probably the most complete of any application shipped with fedora (depending on the phase of the moon gstreamer/totem is variously broken e.g. I don't think the version shipped in fedora will seek in streams over the network). It's a reasonable enough basic player, and its often the only player for these files on Mac and Windows machines, so cross platform instructions would be good to advise people to use firefox. (Although, I suppose they won't be advising them to launch it via the CLI!) Moreover, what benefit are you providing to users by inexplicably refusing to complete file names? I think inexplicable is perfectly well justified word here— since you're certainly not using the program's ability to support the file as the criteria. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
