The URL dispatcher current has two file:/// based URLs that are for backwards compatibility with the URLs that came from the Unity 7 scopes. Those two are for ${HOME}/Music and ${HOME}/Videos which are routed to their appropriate players.

Researching to see if that's reasonable in the RTM timeframe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to url-dispatcher in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1340952 Title: media player doe not play videos indexed from outside ~/Videos Status in Media Player App: New Status in “url-dispatcher” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There are some mp4 videos found/indexed by mediascanner-service-2.0 from ~/Pictures.
