I think that this bug is still valid though for cases of other apps
wanting to play video though? Especially for non-QML apps that can't use
the widgets we provide.

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
