webfs? [SOLVED] - ali_deda - 22nd January 2017
I did update Neon and Mau 2 from program synaptic. Synaptic updated smplajer and install a new application webfs Simple and instant http server for mostly static content. Why do http server installed, I did not require the installation of web server. I would like someone to explain why this server is installed.

You can take a look in synaptic and see the reveresed dependencies of the package to know which package might have pulled it as dependency.

Thanks @leszek ... weird if I asked for it is smplayer. I have smplayer in Manjoro and Suse 42.3 and them this server is not required. When I look depending smplayer webfs is not required but is only recommended. I have to study synaptic how to Agree to not install programs that have been recommended.

This might help.

Though we don't recommend changing that as it might have side effects.

Hello,
There is a new version of SMPlayer, 17.1, which adds experimental support for Chromecast. So I think that the webfs is needed for that - the release notes say this:
Ubuntu and debian users must install the package webfs (sudo apt-get install webfs). This is a tiny web server that SMPlayer will run in order to serve local files to Chromecast.
