This is great news. Thanks for all this work.

What I would like you to concentrate on is the video playback and its usability around it. I don't think the metadata, video sharing etc is that important as that's already in the stock player. What I really want is a better video "player" for people who watch a lot of video files on their N9. (a fine example is actually the stock video player of SGS2 or the old 7" Galaxy Tab)

Such as:

1. Resume capability (maybe even multiple bookmarking support)

2. Easy seek/skip buttons for forward/back. (specific intervals such as 5 or 10 second etc) Even possibly using the physical volume buttons as forward and back of a specified interval. (and have touch volume control bar on the screen instead) This was sooooo handy with mplaer on N900 as it could use arrow keys for 10 seconds or 1 minute skips.

3. Smaller thumbnails so I can see more videos on the list at once. Like a grid of 2 columns and 4 rows etc.

4. Option of HW decoding or SW decoding. (e.g. via long press of video to get option to do SW decoding using mplayer etc)

5. Option to specify only a specific directory or directories for the videos. (like SiB in N900) and even option to include or exclude its subdirectories.

6. Brightness control within the player and to be able to lock it down independent of the system brightness level.

7. Child lock activated via power button. (this is one of my favorite features of stock video player on Samsung Android phones) Just tap power button while playing to make it unresponsive to any touch/swipe/volume keys until power button is tapped again to unlock)

1,2,5,7 are the real important ones for me.
Would make the N9 a much better video player. =)
