The URL dispatcher current has two file:/// based URLs that are for
backwards compatibility with the URLs that came from the Unity 7 scopes.
Those two are for ${HOME}/Music and ${HOME}/Videos which are routed to
their appropriate players.

The long term solution is to kill those URLs for usage in the video and
music scopes as they don't really do what we want. Researching to see if
that's reasonable in the RTM timeframe.
