Public bug reported:

If mediaplayer app is not able to play a file it should tell that to the
user, instead of presenting a black screen.

1. create a new mp4 file with 'touch that.mp4'
2. try to start mediaplayer-app with this file

What happens:
a black screen is presented

What should happen:
maybe an error message showing the reason why its not able to play the media.
