Bug Description

When I'm trying to play .mp4 video files from microcd card on my frieza they're always copied to ~/Videos(not even sub-dirs of ~/Videos supported!)

As all videos aren't shown in "My Videos"section of Videos Scope(witch is also a strange behavior) I'm forced by the system to play them using share hub of filemanager-app - that's the reason why files are copied to ~/Video.

Conclusion: mediaplayer-app SHOULD have an ablility to play any file from ~/Videos , {microcd}/Videos & sub-dirs WITHOUT EXPORTING(copying) them to main memory. This is an expected behavior & as a result tend to faster playback(no copying) & save the device from running out of internal memory VERY quickly(as I watch 1.x-5.x GB files).

This bug can be easy reproduced:
1. Open up any video from {microcd}/Videos or {microcd}/Videos sub-dirs or ~/Videos sub-dirs using Media player
2. Have a look at your ~/Videos
3. Here it is! (But we actually didn't want that to happen in this case)
media-hub.log from my frieza attached.

My 01_intro.mp4 & 06_hello.mp4 files weren't in /home/phablet/Videos/, but in {microcd}/Videos/javascript folder originally.
