Original bug

Nexus 7, devel channel, flashed today

I've placed two files in the video folder, one mp4 and one mkv.

Launching the Media player give me a message about no video selected, I guess it is because it expected the media file as an argument.
In the end I hope there will be a video picker launched.

Clicking on the file in the file manager does not launch the video player.
