Bug Description

when launching the app like this:

ubuntu-app-launch mediaplayer-app http://stream.dradio.de/7/251/142684/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/dradio_mp3_dlf_s

the started mediaplayer-app is not very nice; it presents only a dark screen
while playing and one must tic it to get at least a slider and button to stop
it; this should be changed; it's not very attracting and handy.

sometimes the above command does not connect reliable to the audio stream; it starts playing, but the orange Ubuntu logo keeps rotating and then audio stops and one has to kill on the command line the mediaplayer-app process;
