VIDplay Chromium MP4 and WEBM video player

After a lot of oscillating backwards and forwards, between Celluloid, EcoTube and SMPlayer media player builtin, have eventually settled on SMPlayer for the next release of EasyOS.

I had previously posted about using Chromium as a standalone PDF viewer:

The same treatment has now been done for MP4 and WEBM videos. Chromium will only play those two video formats. Now, right-click on a .mp4 or .webm video:

/usr/share/applications/vidplay.desktop and pdfview.desktop have "NoDisplay=true", so they won't appear in the main menu. They can only be launched via right-click menu on a .mp4 or .webm video file.
