A video player is probably the easiest app to implement because it’s based on the iced video player widget. It’s just a matter of porting it to COSMIC. And there’s no reason not to add a video player to the core lineup if it can be done. Every OS has a default system video player.

As much as I’m excited for COSMIC I’m a bit bothered by this too.
