Bug description:
  The mediaplayer is an 'auxiliary app' in the current design approach.
  That means that its purpouse it playback media launched by other apps
  (e.g Messaging) or scopes (e.g. Videos). It should not be launched
  from the App scopes.

  However, the 'Update' section System Settings should still display it
  when an update to mediaplayer is available.

  Current behaviour
  - Mediaplayer app displayed in App Scope, Launcher and Settings

  Desired behaviour
  - Mediaplayer app not displayed in App Scope or Launcher
  - Mediaplayer displayed in Settings > Update
