Bug Description

Thanks to this new UserWebKit feature:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/userwebkit/+bug/908979

We can now use dmedia: URIs for the video.src, which means we can playback using a file:// URI rather than talking to the local Dmedia HTTP file server. This has seemed to fix the problems we were having the GStreamer hanging, plus is just the way to do things anyway.

For example, after this change we have a handler that resolves a URI like this:

dmedia:TQVPUCFGL23KWPKPVDXP3BB2ZQWPTYMNDMR55QZZ5A2QLDBK

Into a URI like this:

file:///home/.dmedia/files/TQ/VPUCFGL23KWPKPVDXP3BB2ZQWPTYMNDMR55QZZ5A2QLDBK
