My feedback
1. All the functionality to create thumbnails is in the MediaKit, you
should not need to launch MediaPlayer for this.
2. Similarly with QuickView.
I think DVD playback is probably the most usefull followed by Streaming support.
With DVD playback adding basic reading of DVDs should be simple
enought to implement and give you a chance to learn how to use the
MediaKit. Then implementing DVD navigation and menus would be the
difficult part.
Streaming support should just be a matter of ensuring that the
MediaKit no longers assumes a seekable IO type (The mp4 reader for
example wants to know how big the file is to determine EOF)
