Media does not show in preview when clicked in the media manager

[Phill]

OpenLP 2.0.1
Windows XP
Phonon Media Backend
Configure OpenLP->Advanced->Preview items when clicked in media manager checked

Clicking and item in any of the media managers shows the item in the preview except the media plugin.

This may have been designed this way for performance, but should we go for consistency? We don't need to set it to play, just send it to preview paused. If this still has performance problems perhaps there should a second check box for media in the settings tab?

Related to this, it would be nice to get previews when items in the service manager are clicked.

(I made it a blueprint, but I wasn't sure whether it should be a blueprint or a "wishlist" bug.)

Also related to this is the issue that when you have the 'Automatically preview next item in service' option checked, media items seem to be disregarded and it shows you what is currently showing instead. (ie, you have a song or custom slide before the media item, set that item live, and that item still shows in the 'preview' part of the screen.)

OLP 2.3.2 running on Windoes 8.1 (Can't check on my Mac at the moment to see if it's an issue there too; also haven't had a chance to update to OLP 2.3.3 yet!)

This is not a bug but how the system has been designed.
Media and Presentations do not preview as this was originally designed for songs, bibles and custom due to the resources required to run on the system.
