[Bug 1387691] Re: Media Player should not be visible in the app scope and launcher

 

Hi,
I'm testing this bug on R19 version. 
About comment #10, if the idea is to treat the player as a trusted prompt session and not as an app, and hide the app icon, then if the user wants to reproduce a video and he/she does not have data or wifi connection, his/her own videos won´t be shown on the vieo scope, so there would be no way of reproducing them.
In my opinion hiding the app icon should be just something provisional until finding the solution.
Truly, I am a little lost about which would be the solution that would land on ww11. Could someone confirm me this?
Thank you.
Regards

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
