Gecko-mediaplayer replacement

Hi All. During today's system update I was asked whether I want to replace mplayer-plugin with community/gecko-mediaplayer? Can someone explain that issue? Why mplayer-plugin is no longer needed and give any benefits of using gecko-mediaplayer instead?

The mplayer-plugin is depreciated and replaced with the gecko-mediaplayer all development is on the latter. Now if it would only use smplayer instead instead of depending on gmplayer.

It's gnome-mplayer, not gmplayer which is the GUI from mplayer itself.
