1) and 2) I am using other SFE repository (and search goes in order of 
displaying items):

$ PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION
openindiana.org              origin   online F 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-2015/

http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/
sfe-encumbered              origin   online F 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered/

For playing of various media types, I can now use: totem 
(openindiana.org), vlc and mlpayer (both from sfe.opencsw.org).

I see there is preparation for 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-encumbered/ - but I guess it is not 
yet ready for use).

Regards.
