I agree that you should be able to open video files directly in the
mediaplayer-app, however mediaplayer-app is not a library and cannot
"import" files and doesn't present this to content-hub as gallery does.
However, you can request files to be played by mediaplayer-app by using
url-dispatcher with the video:///<url> argument.
Filemanager should directly call url-dispatcher for Video files (can use
Qt.openUrlExternally()) instead of or in addition to asking content-hub to
import them. This has the benefit of not doing a file copy as well as
mediaplayer will play from where it is where content-hub makes a copy.
I'm opening a filemanager task for this bug.
