If you use a script to “start” the player, with an incorrect filename

start command might give the user a clue about what has gone wrong.
The result should be checked right after the filename is set. That's
when it reports whether the path is valid or not:
set the filename of player x to "some/filepath/here.mov"
put the result
If that fails and the player still contains a previous filename, then
that one is still valid. The start command will succeed and the result
will be empty.
To be honest, I'm not sure whether the start command even sets the
result; I never checked that. It may be that an empty player honors the
start command, but since there's no content to play, it stops immediately.
