Bug Description

Currently there is no way for the user to know if something went wrong while trying to play an unsupported video (either audio plays fine, or screen just stays black on the mediaplayer-app).

If possible, it'd be good to find a way to report back the errors from gst into the mediaplayer-app, so the user can have a better user experience when playing videos.
