Thanks for the info marxian. I was afraid of that (being it closed) and so I guess it's similar scenario to the N900. I guess I can only hope Nokia would realize how many people would benefit from some of the features I mentioned and implement it themselves.

Does anyone know who the Nokia developer is for the media player? or how I can make any form of enhancement requests to him/her? Somethings just need to be requested or it may never even cross their mind...

Anyways, other apps show live thumbnails so why not the same for the videos? I just don't understand. I guess the developer never cares for watching videos on mobile phones.

Update:
I have posted the request here with some additions and extra ideas.
