[Bug 1591331] [NEW] Obsolete mplayer2 instead mpv on Xenial

Public bug reported:

On Wily I installed smplayer, which installed mplayer2.
Now after upgrade to Xenial, old mplayer2 is still installed and invoked from smplayer at least when playing DVDs:
MPlayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4build1 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

Since Xenial, if I understand correct, mplayer2 is no more supported and should be replaced by mpv:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/xenial/smplayer

** Affects: smplayer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: notify-osd (Ubuntu) => smplayer (Ubuntu)
